Lol, you must be.

Sd...surface area of the cone....I didnt realize they started adding the surround and mounting flange into Sd numbers these days

Sd of an L7 12 cant be anywhere close to 144 sq in.

Besides, everyone uses cm to label the Sd, where do you live, under a rock??


Sheesh...and to think you thought I was the tard.

 

Even though it is a 12 inch woofers, the cone is closer to 10" by 10" meaning closer to 100 sq in, i still think thats a little big though.

And I, for one thing, live in AMERICA.

 

Guess I will go bed cut and see what shop thinks about the 6th order! Time to carpet bed and get tonneau...lol! Thx guys!

 

 

First of all, LOOONG Night. True the cone area is more like 10x10 but you got the jist. Its quicker math.

I may live under a rock but hell at least its in the US (inches) not Canada or France....

I am a tard but Ill admit to it...

 

Try this thought before you go cutting away. Get a topper, Buy a camper seal, Build the biggest box you feel like on top of the bedrails. Ive done the cut-through in a junker S10 and it was LOUD but i would do the topper the next time around

 

What is a topper? I am really reluctant to cut my bed but if I have to for set-up I guess I have to! Or go with my G5 idea and build a custom box that replaces the seats but are the seats.

 

One of these babies is what Luckytii7 is talking about.

Topper, shell, cap...whatever you want to call it.



You can get some pretty nice looking ones, although they will cost you....

Id still rather do that than cut a huge gaping hole in my new, daily driver truck though.

 

I had a camper shell on the back of an S-10... with the subs up firing just behind the cab with a sliding rear window... couldn't hear crap... took the window out and it got only minimally better. Plus I blew out a window in the camper shell when I was on vacation in Panama City Beach, 630 miles from home.

Sure it was pounding... I flipped half dollar coins 6 inches above the top of the fiberglass shell... and you could hear me for a great distance away...

But the bass was better heard outside the cab... so basically I had screaming mids and highs in the cab, but barely felt or heard the bass inside...

Now, at the time of the blown out window I had 4 10's on a Punch 100ix, and 2 15's on a Punch 200ix... so I was thumpin'. But I still didn't enjoy it in the cab like I wanted to... although everyone around me in the parking lot could feel it and hear it...

The best listening spot was about at the spot the gas fill door was with the driver's door open at a 45 degree angle... Which means driving was impossible for the best sound - which defeated my purpose - I wanted to hear it, feel it, and if someone else did... whatever. They should anyway with 1000 real watts banging down the block.

After I was married, my awesome wife got the local shop I loitered to do the bed cut and fired them straight into the cab. I closed the window back in... and only fired in the two 15's on the 200ix...

Bass bliss! And it pounded much, much cleaner and much, much harder.

I only wish that I had created a real set up to take advantage of that cut.

But alas, marriage can bring about offspring, and other things become more important than trying to numb your entire backside with subsonic frequencies.

Man... I know where the truck still sits... I may yet retrieve it from the family member I literally gave it too. He blew the engine the same day he picked it up from the transmission shop. And my son will be driving in 6 years or so.

It may be time to finally make that six 15's 6th order monster...


My advice? If you do it, do it up real big. Or don't do it. You can get plenty bump... and clean SQ with something in-cab.

 

just be sure to make nice ultra clean cuts so you can weld the cut outs back in when you sell it. I'm thinking of ditching my underseat box and putting a 4f^3 vented box in my rear seat with handles. Remove when not needed and belted in when I do. Reason I want to change up is a buddy at work has 2 cheap *** mtx 10's in his trunk with vented boxes and those thing pound something serious. I'm friggen jealous cause I'm pushing 3x the power to two 12's and he's hitting harder and lower than I am. Body reinforced bass really helps him too but still.

 

I ment to imply to face the subs forward thru the camper seal into the cab of the truck. You completly take the windows out between the bed and the truck
