i am not a box guru, but the guys that are .......they are not going to even post a response to this thread without alot more info.... vehicle type, space useable (like overall dimensions), a link that works for specs on subs, number of subs ( one could assume two, but that whole assume thing..) well you know. the 21 hz is pretty dang low.......perhaps too low for what you need. i would suggest loading this post with info ( the guru's love that stuff) and then see what they come up with for you. good luck ,chop.

x2, I was about to say the same thing if they have grills leave them and if not, go buy some grills or find a cheap solution to cover up the holes (Im sure you can since your in car audio. But Im definantly not tripping about thread jacking since its about the same topic and I would suggest that you take the rear deck speckers out there will be a nice sound difference but nothing to do back flips over (just more bass in the cabin, those 6x9's are being drowned out by those subs anyways). M5, one more quick question since me and you are both agreeing with the fact that Eminence Alpha-6C's are more mid-range should I keep the settings on my amp the same so I wont ruin the spakers (LPF Filter x10 @ 5,000Hz and Sub Sonic 150Hz or better)? Or would they benefit more on High Pass? I had the sub sonic filter around 80-100Hz and didnt like that so last nite I bumped it up some and it sounds better with less strain on the speakers. thanks fellas i'll let you know how it turns out

187's ordered will be here toward end of the week........going to foam trunk tomorrow. and get some pics of the cougar

uh, i, uh well no, no wait, my friend, yeah, a friend of mine said how does this work....pre-sale? do you get amp now or do you have to wait? sorry he is a complete noob !

picture might help us give you recommendations i wish i had them... i will repost in a few days w/ pics on hand.... i don't wanna cloud up jay-cee's thread, thanks.

yup

id recommend you remove the rear fill unless you absolutely need it.... "lithium" i like your thought on the temp removal as a gauge of effectiveness....... the rear deck is white vinyl as is all the interior, highly visible through clear glass, the 6x9 rear fill is almost more cosmetic than anything. trying to create a compromise here and budget is definitly on low side of things.......... i think bear still has his first dollar framed somewhere, lol. oh i guess i should mention the 6x9's are top mount....removal would result in holes.

man Jay-cee, i hope this doesnt seem like a thread jack, but i noticed you mentioning the removal of the rear deck speakers and increase in bass in the cabin....... i also noticed that you got a couple of the big dogs watching your thread , lol, so between your experiance thus far or perhaps someone elses experiance that is watching, i was hoping to get some opions on this matter. we have a 1977 cougar that we are putting a sub box in the trunk of. we went with twoof the IA 187's 12" subs, did a sub up /port back type enclosure, useing 3 4" aero ports, so we have 5.1 cubes and tuned to 33.25hz. the rear deck is white vinyl and currently has two sets of 6" X 9" s in it.... the option of removing them is really not one we want to chase. i have thought of two possible solutions , perhaps you could weigh in on. one is to add a 6" port in the middle to allow bass into the cabin.... cosmetically this would be somewhat appealing to the eye , being centered between the exsistng 6x9's. would it be very effective though.? the other option is perhaps remove the seat cushion at the top brackets and let it come forward 1" and then add a block like surface to keep it forward in a few spots.... this would not be too noticeable at one inch, the width of the seat, would it do the trick for the bass? wich would you choose? thanks chop sorry for bad spelling

alrighty then,lol. will want to see that two 12's build!

so do you still have this car, or is it the golf now? i see you have the sub and sub amp crossed off also. just curious what you got going..... seeing how i have zero!

HEY PAL!!! Where is them pics at?, updates?????? lol , seriuosly wanted to see this thing......not alot of wagons out there.

uh, wheres the pics at?

thanks, it is going in a 1977 mercury cougar........trunk . will get pics of car up in a few days perhaps....gotta catch up with him here soon.

well i was sorta hoping, out of the current 181 views, a few folks would of weighed in and gave a comment. can't wait for bear to order the 187's and foam that trunk up. the box is 5.1 cubes internal gross mass tuned to 33.25hz

sorta where i am at also, looks fun.

seen way too many like this bro...... sad deal really.....there is some young men on here would kill to have an opportuniy to own a shop, who more than likely have way more knowledg (important) and way more friendly ( super important) than some of these tea bagged b****'s

and all that sh*t!!!!! wow , thanks so much mdizzle.... you are awesome..... you=FTW !!! IAK 4-Life!!!

dam! like my own little thread , but with out me! i use to use 4 spl audio w-12's with 4 kole 1920's in two pre-fabs. f150 extended cab, w/ kenetic 800 and big three done. i was fetching around 145's with it.........i like the big ol' motor look, and the fat surrond seems to make them look ever so promising also. they seemed to be awesome at the time.. then i also had 2 of the 15's w/ a couple of hifonics on them, uh bxi 2600 or whatever it was, custom slot port and big three done.........that was in a 2000 bravada....... also done really well. this was the old style.......seemed to get pretty warm , but we cruised alot. i think the new style bost more ...but are ugly as sin! so would i buy some more? sure ! cash deal off the streets or from aggressive flea market vender, i sure would. i would say a custom built enclosure is a must have. i would not want to use them for comp's or to repesent the low end in a musical enviroment, however they are cheap and can bang loud.......so like i said, if i stumbled across them ,sure. strange enough, the mach 5's ........ well that is what i am stepping up to, 2 mach 5 ixl's 15" s that is my goal..... i could get the spl's here locally , just go and pick them up for about 180 each. or have the ixl's mailed to me for 220 each. so i am saving and waiting....really want to have the better equipment ......also want to be able to see them low notes. trust me i am a sucker for the huge a** motor look, i use to say that the ma audio's w/ the 4000 watts stamped on the back was my next woofer.....big and cheap. mach 5 has those spl's too, but they are serious...!!!! i hate piss poor toilet paper, off brand Q-tips, generic mayo............the real thing seems to always win!
