yeah I had thought of that, but I was just wantin to run both subs. And mostly because I have most of the enclosure already built.

According to the manual it will go in a sealed box, ryan sent me the link to it and I may still be alright, to use both subs.

If not, I have been itching to do me a ported enclosure so I may go with one 12 ported.

Thanks for all the help guys,

Tim

find airspace, and fiberglass the shell to take as much of it as possible - think behind the trim on the sides, etc.

or build a new center console...

Says it can operate to .75 Cubes sealed...

Yeah thats it, I think that may be the newer version but yeah that is the sub I have.

Well, maybe I can still use them.

Sure, sell the damned things then.

Buy some slim line subs then. I got 3 different ones or more available now...

Sounds like they are not a definite no go for this project.

Well guys I got a real problem this time. The tech support guy from soundstream emailed me back and said those subs cant go in a sealed box, ever. The smallest ported box they can go in is a 2.50 cuft.

What do I do now, I cant sell the subs ( dont really want to I love the subs and want to use them). But taking the rear seat out of the truck is not a possibility either.

Can somebody offer me some advice or help.

ever heard of winISD? Or bassbox pro?

Try using them to model the response.

You'll see if the 2 box sizes make a big difference or not.

winISD won't consider cabin gain, so the low end rolloff won't be as steep in a car.

bass box pro will even let you model the effects of polyfill, and give you an idea of how much to use.

keep in mind its all theory, so once you put it in the car, it can change.
