Yes I will post up some pics gladly. I still haven't put the pics of my new stuff on the computer but I do have my old ones handy so I'll post them tomorrow and the rest at a later date. Current setup is 2 d6 tens ported at 30hz. Port fires on back wall a d the subs are in a center console box. I am running them at .5 ohms off an saetwelvehundredD sorry my one key broke. These tens sound amazing and dig deep and sound crystal clear I love them. Blends real good with the rainbows

How efficient are those subwoofers? Running them at 2 ohm instead of .5 will increase the lifetime of your amplifier and sound cleaner.

subs are dirty because I live in west texas and the wind is always blowing. They were sitting on my work bench and got torched with dust. They are upfiring because if I would have dowfired them they would have either hit the floor or the seat wouldnt have been able to fold down all the way.

Msall. I ran them at 2ohms for a while but that SAE1200 only does like 650 or so at 2ohms. The diamonds sounded good but they can take some serious power. So I decided to see what it would do if I wired them at .5. I made sure all of the voltages were safe and went ahead and did it. They really came alive after that and blended great! They're great woofers! I wired them back at 2ohms for the time being until I can rewire everything and get my batcap in there.

isnt it better to have them facing up rather than down? and was there room between the sub and the bottom of the seat when the seat was down?

upfiring is more of a sq setup. The only time I would really turn them up was when my back seats were up. There was a gap between the bottom of the seat and the woofers but not by much. it was a really really tight squeeze. Unless the seats where up I would have my subs turned down into the negatives so it wouldn't damage the cones. I never really was happy with the sound of them and got tired of screwing with them. So I threw the bad one away and gave the decent one away and sold the box.

they are ported i took out my center console and ran the box from the dash all the way to the back seat. I believe I ended up with 2.4 or so. So right around 1.2 per sub. You could always make it taller and get my airspace out of it though.
