q 18 blowthru on a tacoma

[mikee72 0]

hi all i have been planing a blowthru on my 01 tacoma using two fi q 18s and two soundstream trx2000ds. now i have come up with a few ideas for a box but was wondering if there were any pros out ther that would like to offer up some advice. i was thinking of having one sub on either side with a center slot port ond a combined volume of 22 cubes tuned to 28 hz. also i have heard pete from ttb has some great designs but he hasnt gotten back to me yet

thanks

if you are running 2k per sub i wouldnt use the Q. look into the bl or btl or change to something like the xcon if you really want to tune that low.

We did a blow thru not long ago with a pair of Mayhem 18's. Looks like this:

As already stated, that is a lot of power for Q's. Also a big box for that much power. The box we did was only 14 ft^3 tuned to 33 Hz and sounds great.

hey thanks for the concern and i no thats alot of power and a big box for the q but i was pushing 2000 watts off a trx 2000 to one q 18 in an 11.5 cube box tuned to 27 hz and ran it for about four months and had no probs. the only reason why im not still running that setup is because the truck was totaled about three weeks ago so now iam stuck with a single cab truck. also i would use the bls or btls but ive still got the q 18 and trx 2000d. and thats verry similar to the design i was thinking of using. ohh and i have the bp power option on the sub

jw how many square inches of port do you think i should give it so it will fart loud but still have some good musical qaulities. and ive revised my thinking and am prob going to tune to 30 hz

Just remember, what ever you tune the box to..... The actual tuning will be lower in the cabin.

Buddy of mine did a blow through in his Ram 1500 with 4 DD 3515"s, tuned to high 30's I think and peaked at 27.
