i was wondering how subs sound in the bed of a truck and if i cut some ports from the bed to the cab and sealed it really good would it sound alright in the cab

 

I have buddy that has cut the lower back wall out of a dodge built a box in the bed ands it hits really hard he can set caralarms off in parking lots!

 

Hmmmmm? Check my galleries...

 

Hey RoushFan, what did you use to seal the gap between the bed and cab?

Thats pretty sweet

 

Accordion gasket...

If that doesn't work just go to crlawrence.com and search for"accordion" it comes right up...do the search and you'll get a picture of it..

 

YES the old cut through...hmmmm brings back memories...hehehe yes that is a way to get EXTREME bass in a truck the port through band pass style works way better that just cutting a hole and putting a hatchback/trunk style box back in the bed ,( you will get less cancelation with the port through style). I have done everything from 2-10inch in reg cab toyota 4 12 in a d50 reg cab 4 15s in s10....and so on just remember to install the boot seam side down over lap and seal it well....this stlye leaves all kinds of room to put your amps on the back cab wall ...some port throughs (depending on speaker size and quantity) may only have one or 2 very small ports or as big as 8x30 inch so build on and enjoy....hope this helps ....most camper top dealers also sell the pass through boot ,and get a really good bed cover.

 

Roush, I wanta do my bed/cab like yours but i gotta few questions. One of which has done been answered from above. Do you have a problem with rattling? I seen where you put down sound material. Is that stuff costly. Any tips on doing this i would appreciate it! Also I like your truck and in your gallery of random stuff you have a pic of 3 rappers or whatever they trying to be, just thought that was funny cause those 3 lames asses live in the same county as i do, called them selves ICY HOT STUNNERS! lol lmao

 

Yeah the only bad rattling is my sliding window...

 

Roush, Do you know anyother site to get those gaskets? I aint having luck with that one!

 

I HAVE 4 KICKER COMPS 12 IN THE BACK OF MY 98 F-150. I HAVE MY WINDOW OUT OF MINE AND I HAVE A SHALL ON MINE IT HITS SO HARD THAT : I HAD TO PUT A WINDSHELD IN MY.

 

Hmm, Im betting the windshield was due to something else and the Kicker Comps just finished it off, but what do I know.

Might be cool to look at that setup, any pics of it?

 

Yeah you can't buy direct..what you need to do is take the part number to a glass shop in your area..or look on the dealer locater..Forgot about that sorry..Easiest thing to do

 

Well I finially got it done! 2 12" RF and 3000 watts of Hifonics! Pics of port later! Sum bish is loud!!!!!

 

Cool. Hope you got a bed cover though.

 

Must not rain were your at..... I couldn't get away with that for 1 day here in Seattle! Looks really good though. Nice Job.
