Much thanks for all the help and sorry some people here like to be a smart a** and start arguments with you.

I am currently beginning an installation for my 2002 Ranger super cab. I will be running two BTL 12's in this install. I would like some opinions on this setup. Some people may think im crazy for putting this into a small space. But I live by the rule get loud or go home. Let me know what you all think about how this will turn out and how hard it will be hitting.

M5 I have a quick question. I was checking prices to see what it would cost to order my first BTL and was being charged for shipping. It is posted that shipping is offered free to the lower 48. I am in virginia and still being charged for the shipping. I didnt actually complete the order because I was checking prices. I was going to check on this issue before actually going through with an order. Much thanks for any help with this issue.

Is free shipping still offered to the lower 48 states and is virginia included in the lower 48?

The electrical will be upgraded. Im definitely not even going to try running just one of these amps off the stock electrical. I believe electrical will be upgraded along with a 2nd amp. Stock alternator is only 95 amps so it has to go.

Thanks M5. What do you personally think about the 2000 RMS @ 1 ohm? Should that be good for 2 BTL 15's in my ranger? All I had last setup was a 1500w max crunch and 2 type r 12's in a prefab and it shook people around me.

I will go with the 15's. With the budget im working with it will take some time to get it all finished but im determined to get it. I am guessing I will get another PRS-D2000SPL. Not sure what it is but I usually like to keep the brands the same and not have several different brands of equipment. I guess its just me.

Now that I think on it. With that amount of space maybe I will go with the 15's. I am looking at my measurements and the recommended 3-5 cubes for the BTL 15 and wondering how many cubes and tuning I should use for the enclosure. I want to leave enough space to have a small rack for the amplifier. The maximum measurements I have is without having to build a wall. Plans are to upward fire the woofers.

Thanks for the input. I do want to make sure the BTL's get atleast their RMS. I see 2000 RMS in the manual.

I already have the amplifier. Im sure the 4000 watts at 1 ohm will do well.

I have maximum measurements. Top depth: 17" Bottom Depth: 23" Width: 42" Height: 26". I will be using the maximum 3 cubes for each woofer tuned to about 34 hertz. Alternator, batteries, and wiring used will be stinger. Amplifier being used will be pioneer premier PRS-D2000SPL.

I have plenty of space. My ranger is a supercab. Its just that a lot of people where I am dont go that big. They say im crazy for putting all that into that amount of space. I actually have plenty of space but no one I know goes that big around here.

I dont currently have an enclosure. I am planning on getting the enclosure from fisher customs.

I have the layout planned for the subs upward firing. The layout for the amp rack and secondary battery are planned out also. It will be great to hear it all done but money is tight so it will take some time. That doesnt mean that I will be going cheap with any of it. It will all be high quality. Thanks to everyone here for ideas and input. I greatly appreciate it. I take it all in as I continue on this project. It all helps make better ideas and also helps make things easier. Thanks also to fisher for running a great forum here.

I am looking for ideas and opinions on an enclosure for my ranger. 02 Super Cab Ranger Edge. The plan so far is 2 BTL 12's but not sure about the enclosure. Once I pull the money together I will definitely be going for a fisher customs enclosure but need opinions on layouts for it. With my last setup I had the woofers firing upward and it did well but I also like to feel that punch in your back. So what I am looking for is opinions on some layout options for the port or ports and for the woofers themselves. I thought about firing them forward this time around but not sure. Let me know what you all think would perform and sound the best for this application. I want people to think when they see the power inside my ranger as I :bigclap: in pleasure knowing that I am chitting on everyone elses beat. They will have to step up their game and get . Once I become king in my town I will say to everyone and to you all on this forum I will say for the help. To the haters I only say as your gf shows me her . I also tell the haters you will never have beat like mine.

I only paid $530 for the amplifier anyway. I bought it from sonicelectronix. Still planning on getting the premiere 4 channel for the rest of the speakers. A h.o. alternator and extra battery are planned. I have pretty much planned out the products I will be using. I have also got a bit of my hushmat just needs to be installed.

I now have my amplifier to run the BTL's and will be extremely happy when it comes time to order my enclosure. The amplifier I will be running is the Pioneer Premier PRS-D2000SPL. Damn heavy amp but it should kick out the beat.

everyone for all the help. Great forum and great people here. I get paid again this week along with my amplifier coming in this week so I will be looking into plans and getting measurements for an enclosure. I have a few friends who are getting a bit cocky on their cheap setups. They aren't going to know what hit 'em. As I get things together for this project their will plenty of coffee and energy shots to get it done. This sleeping schedule on third shift is killing me.

Thanks for the help. I appreciate any ideas, opinions, or help as I start a major project for the ranger. I had browsed through the builds that steve meade had done and had picked up a few ideas and a few things that would have helped with previous installations. But now that I am going big and getting away from the small cheap equipment I am trying to learn more and more. One of the ideas I liked with his builds were the bolts used in place of the terminals. Is there any way that I could order an enclosure with that type of setup? I have had so many terminals come loose or blow out of the box because of the pressure created inside.

I would appreciate any ideas on the layout of my enclosure. Forward firing both the woofers and ports or upward firing the ports and woofers. Possible forward firing the port with upward firing woofers. Let me know what you all think would sound and work the best for what I am working with. My amplifier is on its way so I could use any ideas as soon as I could get them so I can get my plans ready for an order.

I have looked at many of the past enclosures by fisher and love the clean look. I was thinking on a double baffle but I also like the look of a flush mount.

Thanks. I figured the smilies were there to be used so might as well get some use from them.
