I have a 95 nissan king cab truck and I have two 12'' subs and I have them firing forward and it hits hard as h***... But Ive heard If you fire the subs down they will sound a hell of alot better, with more BASS!!!

 

[DOGSTOY06]

nick did you mean fire up?you put fire down.i'm trying to visualize how the hell thats gonna happen?:dontknow:

basically its a reverse mount the magnet would be up and the cone fires into the box ...i think :hmmmm2:

In most applications, there are major differences in sound quality with different sub positions.
In our trucks, we are dealing with VERY limited space, making the entire cab a "box". Essentially, if you mount them up, down or forward, the sound quality difference will be minimal.
Make sure you have the correct power going to them, and your box is sealed, and you will have great sound!

thanks bro! with the set up that i want to do ,it was up or forward.forward actually cuts down on area for storage but if i mount them on top of the box then i have lots of room for storage in the face of the box.:top:

got time for the inverter ,plugs and switch in the console mod??:top: :thumpdown:

I meant have the subs in the box like normal but have the face of the subs firing down torwards the floor (make sure you have like a 2 or 3 inch space between the box and the floor). I have had that setup before and was very happy with it... it also protects the subs from damage cause they are out of sight... I think its a clean looking setup also... and on another note in a truck I think you get more deeper bass using a ported enclosure.... :top: I had this setup running two 8'' subs firing down with a ported enclosure and I was hitn 141 db... Now that some serious BASS for 8s... Hope this helps you out and clears up my first post:top:

I think we can do that... if so, you need to bring the outlet you want to use (unless we are removing the one in the bed), and the switch you want as well.

I dont suggest a ported enclosure in a truck. I requires a much larger box, and in the XR we are already dying for space in the back seat. It also requires a lot more power in a ported enclosure.

 

[DOGSTOY06]

no, all that comes off the inverter.remember back that post of the mod that came from toyotanation?

 

[morcheez]

i have a ported box in my truck and its not that big and it sounds great for one 10

Oh..sure... I thought you meant doing it another way.. if there is a write up on the way you want to do it, no problem.

Well my nissan hardbody is way smaller than my X... and it sounded Bad a**
But I havent had any subs in my X yet so I was Just sayn what I know about previous setups I have had... All where ported enclosuresthough... Just my .02 :biggrin:

rob ,cheez,nick, heres what I'm doing.I'm removing the entire back seat for good.the box will be the same out side dimensions of the removed rear seat.hieght,depth,width wise.the subs will be in box inside of the big box pointing up so the port won't be a prob.the 3 kenwood amps will be end to end across the width of the box at floor level or just about the height the the bottom of the seat box is now.will have 2 storage niches one either side behind the seats.small about 8" by 14" big enough for my printer to fit in.getting a visual yet?

Sounds like a sweet setup... get some Pic up when you start the install... :top:
