i used to to have 2 Volfenhag 12's...BUMP'N!!! they sound good and took 800rms with ease...upgraded to 1200 rms....stood ground for about 2yrs and finally blew one...then switched to 2 kicker CVR 12's...what else is out there that deserve a look thats great on a budget...

ROLL CALL!!!

i had a friend that some older boss 15 1000 watt subs. sounded good in his expedition. some how it fit behind the 3rd row. im sticking with power acoustik mofos. some what herd of and not to expensive either compared to other 12s and 15s.

other then that just look on youtube and see what people are running. thatll give you some idea on what they should sound like. and read the comments. just dont get the kicker l7 or l5. they get loud but if you want something to shake everything they wont do it. not enough flex. and jl is wayyy over rated. my cuz had a W6 13.5" and it was good but for the price not really.

do you have pics of this setup in your photo album? i talked to the guy at probox...told me 1-12 was the best setup for the 3rd row to be up...but swore it'll hit...i think im just stuck on 2 12's

hit like fifteen's in a sealed box because there is no way they hit like my 15s in a ported box tuned to 32 hrz

You can fit 2-12s behind the third row no problem in a ported im working on a second box for exactly that purpose

im gonna make a custom box for my 12s or 15s, dont know yet, so they fit behind my 3rd row. then make a nice amp rack to go between the 2nd and 3rd row perfectly with nice ventilation and still be able to use my floor so i can still sleep in her.

slot ported superbass probox (2 x 10's) tuned to 45hz ($200) + 2 kenwood 10's and 1000w amp pacakge ($200 sonic electronics)

i kept it simple with the amp and just mounted it on my middle 2nd row seat

i got some video but im not sure how to upload it im not that high speed lol

 

[Chrismdean09]

did you install the DVD screens urself and if so how hard

 

[GAINMOB]

i have 2 12's...my current set up allows for me to sit my groceries or whatever on top of the box because they're firing down...but i do want to go vented...bigger...louder....harder...

 

[WHOISMOOTOO]

i had them put in when i was in el paso for work, i would have done it myself but he charged me $500 (hell of a steal) for both headrest tv's, my pioneer double din deck with bluetooth module, 2nd dvd player in the console, and wireless headphones all around so i just let them install it. but its not too hard all you have to do is trace out the measurements with a grease pencil and cut out some of the padding and drop the screen in, the wires run straight thru the back of the seats really easy then wire it to the video source, and get power from the remote wire to the deck.

the port will wake the subs up, and facing up the bass travels better in the truck. in the drivers seat you can feel the air pushing on the back of your head. this is the reason i dont reccomend getting the single 15 because the port is on the side not the front like the superbass boxes (bass doesnt travel as well). i just hooked a buddy up who had a 5 series bmw with a single 12 cvr in a pro box in the trunk it hits hard for that kind of application.

i know 10's can beat...just something about 12's thats hard to change...

Are you sure it's tuned to 45. Thats very high. Most daily boxes are tuned from 32-35. I should know I build boxes. Here's a box I built for a guy it went in a expo 4 cvr 12's. Horrible brand of subs but hey they work. If you want a good sub and want to crap on jl rockford and so on look into dd dc sundown and fi audio brands. Once you go high end you will never go back. Most think jl is top of line. It is top of line for main stream crap.



Or go big like this customer did one 18" fi btl was stupid loud poor tahoe

oh no problem, if you happy you're happy.
but probox's is somethin i wouldn't promote around to ppl cause they aren't good.

 

[GAINMOB]

do you build boxes? got 2 kicker cvr 12's i'd like to get into a ported box with center vent like WHOISMOOTOO's...behind the 3rd row...is that enough space and whats a good price on that

 

[RidnClean]

i do and can design(if im not lazy).

CVRs like 35-38hz tuning.

give the 12s 4-4.5cubes with around 60sqin of port, good to go.

is that total space or per sub?

 

[RidnClean]

net space for both subs

so each side should be around 2cubes
