i had 2 10s in my last car that i got for chirstmas and im wanting to put them in the truck now. i have an extended cab but theres not a lot of room. does anyone have any ideas for how i could make this work.

 

downward firing underseat box. Look on ebay for your year under subwoofers and add 10"s to the search criteria. A few results will give you a sampling of what you can do.

Good luck

 

i came up with a good idea today and drew it up but i cant decide what will sound better, upfiring or downfiring.

 

IMO, downfiring gives you more sound. If you really want to hear the bass, cut a piece of thin plexiglass and slide it under the downfiring box between the sub face and the carpet. The plexiglass "rebounds" the sound that the carpet would normally absorb.
Be sure to let us know what you decided to go with.

I have 2 10" JL w3v2's in my ext. cab. I got my box from musicmooseaudio.com. Check them out, pretty good prices. And yeah mine are downfiring and they sound really good.

Try going there, err somebody on the forum just told me about this, had I known about this a few weeks ago maybe just maybe I wouldnt have sold my tens but oh well.. anyways this site is for seat lifts of your back bench read up on it maybe you'll like. good luck

 

Yeah I have an extended cab 98 and also have down firing 10's
mounted in a sealed composite ProBox. It pumps out some serious low's.

1998 F150 Extended Cab - Alpine Head unit CDA-9831, 4 Fosgate 5.25" Fanatics driven by a Fosgate Punch P8004 4 channel amp (mids/hi's), 2 Fosgate Punch P2 10" subs driven by a Fosgate Punch P6001 mono amp (low's). Sub's mounted in a composite enclosed box under rear seat. To finish it off 2 Fosgate wire kits. No x-over's was needed due to the combination of the chosen head unit and 4 channel amp. Kicks out a constant and consistant 109db. It isn't competition but darn close.

If I change anything I will change the 5.25" speakers out to Infinity Kappa's with the same amp choice as above!

Thanks,

i decided for now im just keeping the subs in the box between the front and rear seats and im selling my system so when i sell it ill be buying 1 12" id max and ill make it in a downfiring box. it should put my current setup to shame.

 

You're gonna love the IDMax!

 

If you build a box to go under the seat, make sure you have some clearance between the magnet and the box. Most subs vent heat through the bottom of the magnet, if you block that, you will fry your voicecoils. MTX makes subs that vent around the basket structure, they operate alot more effiecently in small sealed enclosures.

Down firing the woofers also muffles some of the distortion. I tried both ways, I like down firing the best.


Just a thought.

 

does anybody know where i can buy a probox online?????
links would help!! thanks!!

why specifically a probox?

 

You could also look at my box I even put the plans and instructions up. I'm not sure if you could deal with losing the middle seat though? Anyways here is mine.
