I used the single 10" Probox superbass for about 2 years. I have a 2002 Ford F150 reg cab. The body style before they changed. I had an Eclipse 10" in it. Look up my gallery to see the pics. It was very loud and it did pound. I just thought it was too much for a regular cab.

I am currently in the process of chopping it down and modifying the entire box to be a sealed 1.0 cu ft box to hold one 12" arc audio KAR series sub SVC 4 ohm.

I tried to sell it numerous time to no avail. Some will think I'm crazy for chopping up a perfectly good ported/VENTED box, but it was too sloppy for me.

I am going with more of an SQ set up now, I really like the ARC sub.
Hopefully I'll have it completed Sunday.

I considered a super bass 12 box, until i emailed the owner, and he told me that box was tuned to 51 hz. Where would you even come up with that crap? Then he said it would be 45 hz when i dropped the sub in... So i said forget that.

The cheapest i found TXHustla was 130 something dollars a pickupspecialist. Probox wants 300 for it directly from factory. I paid the extra to get 3 day shipping. Hoping to get it by the weekend, but it may be a week or two before it ships. Bigrobrn how many watts were you putting on that sub? That looked like a cool setup.

That sub was mono bridged on the 3rd and 4th channel of my RF 501x. According to the specs, 250 watts at 4ohm mono. I could run it off of one of the channels at 2ohm stereo wired in series, but I just run it mono.

I hope to have the new modified box completed tomorrow. It will be 1.0 cu ft sealed for one ARC audio 12".
Others I considered are Ascendant audio, RE, Daytons, but I found to good a deal here locally. 70.00 bucks cash for the ARC. Not bad.
I'm looking for more SQ now. The old Eclipse set up in the superbass was really just SPL.

I really want a mono amp now............

I guess it depends if you want boom, or tighter, more accurate bass.

Ported boxes will give you the boom you want- more SPL.

Sealed boxes for more listening pleasure, accuracy- more SQ.

I think the new probox website has different boxes now and they are ported differently. Might want to check them out.

We are very limited in our reg cabs. 2- 10's or 1- 12 is probably the best bet.

I looked on Probox's site and couldn't find a box for my wife's F150 60/40. It's a 1997. Do they not carry one for this?

That is there older website. They have a new one. That is the box I just recently ripped down to a 1 cu ft box sealed.

They should still sell that box.

I've always like sealed boxes better. Ported boxes just sound so loose and sloppy.

I just got my probox in and it sounds pretty good. I had to take console out to get it in the truck, but other than that it was pretty easy to do. For 300 watts it hits really hard. Way louder than the sealed box i had that was only .75 cubic feet.
