What are you running?

Cool box! Good thing that you have power windows, 'cause you'd never be able to reach over to the pass. door

Bone stock but If I don't get the Tahoe I'll be doing a pioneer stereo upgrade.

Thanks,It was a fun build.The first one I did for the truck never planned out location,just built it for my 2 12" Kicker CVX's & then after it was done I realized that I needed a rear seat.It's now in my wife's Explorer & kicks hard as hell.
The 3/4" 10 ply birch ply wood worked out great for the build.Very strong & much lighter than MDF & easily takes on paint.The 4'x8' sheet runs around $50,well worth it.
5.59 cu ft before port tuned to 32 hz.
27"L x 22" w x 20" H

32Hz? Wow! That's low! I've tuned mine to around 60Hz. But then, I listen to a pretty eclectic variety of music. Hard core metal, jazz, blues, classic rock, reggae, & no country!

I her you,mostly listen to Classic Rock,Mariachi,Banda & sometimes rap from my childhood years (late 80's early 90's).I also do the no country thing.The box in my truck is tuned at 40hz.It's perfect for my taste.

 

[sewlow]

Mariachi!!! My guilty pleasure! Shhh!

 

[Luke(MI)]

Alright, sit down for the following picture...
I saw this truck on FSC and want to replicate the box.

The only reason I'd ever port a subwoofer box is to gain low end response. It's not hard to get a subwoofer that will play at the volume that I want at 40-80hz but below 40hz it starts to get more difficult. If you want to get really fancy there's a program called WinISD that you can plug in all the (very) detailed specs of your desired subwoofer and it will graph and calculate the frequency response. You can play with the box size and tuning frequency and most of the time when I've messed with it the tuning frequency that gives me the flattest frequency response is below 30hz. Most subs in the proper box can play down to about 30hz so if you tune it below that (about 28hz is good a lot of the time) or actually just where the frequency response starts to drop off then you can boost those lower frequencies some which puts the point where the subwoofer starts to drop off down lower hopefully close to 20hz because that's about the bottom of what we can hear.

A box that is ported higher like in the 40-60hz range is going to be really "peaky" where it will sound tons louder at a certain frequency or a certain song than it does at everything else. IMO that sounds like crap. Theoretically a perfectly flat response would sound equally good on any type of music as it would treat all frequencies the same... But not all music is recorded with the idea of a flat response system in mind. A lot of Pop/rap is mixed with stock stereos or stereos without much bottom end in mind and therefore on a proper system the bass might be more than what the artist intended... anyway I digress.

I've got a pioneer premier head unit, polk component front speakers driven by a 4 channel bridged kicker amp and a crossover for the tweets, rear polk 4x6's driven by a small kicker 2 channel amp, then a single 10" polk sub under the back bench driven by a 2 channel bridged kicker amp. I've also sound deadened the whole cab/doors and built corian front speaker baffles, its a nice system, not over the top, I'd consider it a mild to moderate system. I'm not much for loud, but I am all about sound quality. plus everything I have appears very stock, all speakers are setup to sit behind the stock grills, and the sub is carpeted in the same color as the bench/floor, so unless you know its there, it's practically invisible.

Ive got an xo vision head unit, bass inferno 1500 watt amp, had 12" cvrs that I sold yesterday, installed 10" pioneer shallows which will be removed around christmas for 12" cvx's
