BTL Questions, help needed

[NofearX18 0]

Hey,

I am going to buy an 18" BTL within the next month. im working with some tight space though.

I have a 2000 GMC Jimmy and i "need" to keep the spare tire in the trunk as far as my parents are concerned...

i think the dimensions of the trunk are about 26"L 28"D 30"H but im not sure... i will re measure and update when soon if im wrong. i know it came out to about 7 cubes when i had it measured...

pretty much what im asking is what design box, and the size of the port i need. i want both the sub and the port facing up. building the box is easy. im not to sure on how to "tune" it or what ever. im not sure what i want it tuned to either. i listen to rap (lil jon, jeezy, ect.) so i was hoping someone could tell me where i would be happy. I like it LOUD.

Also my plans are to get a Sundown 3000 but rite now im stuck with a Hifonics Bx1605d until i can afford it. i think that would be enough to keep me happy until i have the $700 for the amp. any suggestions for a different amp at a lower price would be great.

please give me any info possible. also please dont try to change my mind lol. i really want a BTL, not a BL or any or the other models.

Thanks!

BUMP

and my largest dimensions that my trunk allows is

26" D

28" W

20" H

i know thats not much to work with but when i quickly calculated it up it came to like 6.9 cubs and some change... might not of done it rite, and i didnt factor in the width of wood or anything.

as i said i want it to be loud with rap, hit hop, techno-ish bass songs like bass mekanik and stuff like that. im not sure what to tune the box to or how... i can build the box but im not sure how to make the port to where it will be loud. i want to build the box and port from wood. dont really feel like buying the round ports and all that.

Any help is appreciated. please give me a hand here. Thanks

Given the space I think you should move down to a smaller sub but with the 18" if you really wanted to do it.

I would suggest for amps: kicker zx2500.1 or Crunch 3000d (be sure to get the right ohm speaker)

With your trunk dimensions you can do a 32hz at 5.1 cubes. 4.5inch port. (L shaped port)

You won't be getting the most out of the setup because of the limited space but it will still get very loud.

A 15" btl would fit perfect in that amount of space.

Are you going to get a 2nd battery?

I think the Crunch amp goes for around $450 shipped and CAN do rated rms.

Need any more questions feel free to ask
