[@jakewelsh1002]

I have no issues porting out the front and reaching 33hz. Also Keeping the same width on port is easy to do with a 90 degree in the port on a truck box. If you’re 8”H on rear and 10”H on front I calculate the port at 9” on height

[@ArkansasChainsaw]

got a pair of skar evl 6.5 subs under back seat of a 2013 sierra port facing forward 1.55 cf ported at 36 hz plays down to 28 hz loud shakes every thing everyone thinks they are 10's i been in car audio for 30 years and you are totally correct that the box with proper airspace will sound much better than bigger subs in less than optimal airspace keep up the good work you post good stuff

I have a 2012 GMC Sierra WT. I am a mobile electronics repair business and have the toolbox under my back seat. I am running a Rockford Fosgate 1200-1D driving a Skar Audio EVL-10 D2. I made a sealed enclosure (To Skars specs using Rockford Fosgates box builder app) and replaced rhe jump seat in middle of the front seats with the box. Then mounted the factory armrest on it. The sub fires towards the back seat. The sub sits right at the back of the armrest so there is 11 inches of open space. It works VERY well!!

[@thomaslove6494]

Hi sorry I know your comment is two years old but did that jump seat box have a port or was it sealed?

[@MikeJrOfficial]

Thanks for the videos and the enthusiasm in the industry, I'm just getting back into it in a heavy way... 👌🏽

[@charliesellers176]

You're dropping some truth. I learned a lot of these the hard way with my old Z. I had custom enclosures to save cargo space in the hatch. I ran two JLA 12s that sounded like doodoo. At the advice of a friend, I went to a single JLA10 with a better designed box, and that thing beat significantly harder than the two 12s ever thought about doing. Air space was my biggest problem.

Some experimentation would be more helpful than a bunch of opinions who dont know what sounds good to Your ear !

[@funnybologna6656]

I have a megacab I was going to build a box for 3 8” subs for behind the seats facing up, just asking for your opinion on what I should do with the port and even if you think I’ll be able to install them facing up without losing the function of my back seats, I was also considering 6.5” subs with 4 of them. I want it to be LOUD I’ll be running a ct sounds 4000.1 amp and either mojo 8” or mojo 6.5” or ct sounds meso subs

[@baby41mr.bridgers87]

Want to see these boxes of yours in contest please!!! And your Kickers, they have the cone area but they lack stroke, wich makes up for the lack of cone area on most of the competition subs of today. Did you forget to talk about that ?????

[@ljones7856]

❤ This video. Thank you sir.

[@brandonschoolfield5496]

Your port tuning is the size of hole and length or the port no matter if you have a bend in the port or not it’s going to be the same tuning frequency. And bass is not created from the cone on the outside of the box. In a ported box the sound comes from the port

[@Guero__]

Can you please do a video for bend the seats on Regular cabs please

[@christopherbenefield8201]

Why not a sub on each side in an under seat setup?

[@terrylabbee2116]

if I were to guess id say a sub on the left wouldnt fit due to port size getting in way of mounting depth...if im wrong id like to know also- ive wondered the same

[@herewego2472]

I have a new supercrew f150 and am curious if the box space would be good enough for 4 8's or if I would be better off doing 2 8's. Just making sure I have enough airspace for a good low end and freq response. sundown x or gzhw 8's.. Havent decided yet. . Kinda awaiting your input before I order this lol.

[@juangiggsable]

Im wondering the same...

[@HighVybeTribe]

Do 2 higg end 8's in a proper enclosure would hit low and have sound qualities too

[@Harlo86]

Great video I've had 2 and 4 and i agree about two more powerful 8s vs 4, especially because of the limited air space. I also bought one of those boxes you're speaking of with the small forward port and want to close it and change that to a tube aeroport. Do you think the aeroport would help? Can the box be fixed or start over? Lastly do you feel the same way about Gatelyaudio boxes that have the forward facing port?

Thoughts on 3 x8 sundowns in truck underneath enclosure

[@toddcontino7271]

At the end of this video you mention not needing a lot of power and you recommend two 8s as opposed to four. I have a crew cab Silverado looking to run four 8s but in a sealed enclosure. I listen to a lot of super fast heavy metal music 90% or the time. Running a single DC 2k (500w to each sub) but plan on adding another 2k down the road to bump it to 1kw per sub (Gately Alphas). Would you consider this the proper approach? Thank you

[@DerrickWray]

How would you do a forward firing enclosure, sealed for one 8 (2 enclosures) for an Avalanche, while retaining full use of the midgate?

[@7Logik]

I knew a co worker with a tacoma with with 2 10w6s downfiring in a slot ported I could hear him blocks away on a Memphis 500d, so I disagree on that point of the cone firing down. I'm curious how your thinking is because I saw 2 8s in your truck fired up and the port on the passenger side... or would underneath vs rear cabinet make a huge difference

[@JustinMcTavish14]

My question is what do you do when you have a vehicle like a 2014 Ram 1500 when you can’t make a box like that one due to the way the storage area is under the seats, it’s not really possible to make a box like the one in this video. Thanks for the great video by the way very good information 👍

[@torrez8144]

ik what your talking about, ik there’s a way you have to lift or cut the carpet or something like that and there’s screws i believe to take that part out so the subs can be facing forward. that’s what my cousin was telling me and a guy i knew who also did that too

At least double the width of the port

[@abelscaliber7969]

It will lower the tuning slightly. I’ve done it and I just make sure to tune the box higher than I want

[@smokeshow973]

Question for ya Wouldn't the woofers hit harder if they were on the other side isn't the port canceling what the speakers need to bounce off

[@2ndshiftaudio300]

30 plus years of building for me. And for the most part of truck under the seat boxes is. The area is just too small to play what customers expect. It's that simple. They just don't wanna hear using 8's. All customers understand is their friend has 12's. And that's all that matters. Give that guy 8's??? And he blows the shit out of them. It doesn't matter his friend has a Tahoe. And he has a Chevy extended cab. To him it makes no difference. That's why I normally skip building boxes for trucks under the seat. And the biggest fact. People don't wanna pay.

[@freeradical431]

True that! I found sealed down firing with 1 10 is the best your gonna get from under the seat. Invisible and great for SQ but not crazy bass.

[@myevilbanana]

@MBEnclosures how about single cab behind the seat boxes? If leg room can be sacrificed do you prefer firing up to firing into the back of the seat for the same reasons?

[@andreedison3312]

2005 Silverado ss...I need a box

[@freeradical431]

Ive had a few trucks and a bunch of different sub set ups. With small subs go sealed. Its gonna hit harder, lower, sound better and take a little more power. Right now im running 3 JBL GT10s sealed, behind the seats(racing buckets in a crew cab) at 1.3ohms off a 1500 watt amp. It romps harder than the subs will take- surround detached. Under the seat, 1 10 sealed, down firing will sound great and have just a little bump. You gotta make space if you want crazy bass, plain and simple.

[@lylegoodluck]

Have u tried with aero port? I building for my truck. And I ordered a 4" aero from Port Precision, has both sides flaired. They have there own calculator of port tune on there website. For my 2.75-3cf enclosure came to only 9" port.. seems off because in this video he has 28" port...

@@lylegoodluck I have not but the only thing the flares do is smooth the flow of air as it enters and exits the box. U can use SubBox Calculator to figure what port length you need or want.
