So i impulse bought a sub. What would you do with it?

could be. how did your measurement in car compare to hornresp predictions?


I Recently took a look see.

Red was with the box pointed at the rear window with microphone on dash

Green was generic mic @ mouth in ‘big’ room

SPL is not calibrated (theres a Peq/filter @ 20 hz to protect drivers)

If I commit I would Just remove the driver side rear seat and point the sub at my back. In this small space I would use a chebychev qtc of 1 which, At this point with a fresh driver is 115L. According to website specs, it would be a tiny 39.5L after break in. If I go the compromise route, I can fit the tens under the passenger side and fiberglass the box under the entire bench. I have 2 Polk db+1042 svc. They are shallow mount but they prefer a bit of space. I think I can get at least 1.5cf. The benefits of the 10s would be much cheaper build and preserve the stock aesthetic. If I run the 18, I have to upgrade the electrical significantly to accommodate either a ds18 fr-5k or a stinger mt-4000.1. Plus the mids and highs amp. I keep thinking about how cool it would be to put a sealed 18 in there. it would be crazy on proper wattage. But maybe I would be happy with the 10s and preserve the truck! I suppose I could always start with the tens since I have both. First things first though, I’m going to dampen the entire truck with butyl and foam.

What kind of vehicle is it? I have a 22 frontier crew cab I need to test.
Last generation Tacoma . Kinda intersting to see what happens in the electrical impedance. I don’t know what the cabin resonace is in this ?? (Something is affecting ~105 hz)

I’d like to try a box that isn’t so ‘overdamped’ at the low frequencies and mess around with REW

I had a Mechman 250amp alternator in my F150.

These shallow mount 15's are in 3ft3 sealed total.

I miss that truck. I won't haul crazy stuff like mulch in the Crown Vic. I have been window shopping 2019 and up F150 SuperCrews with Coyote V8's. Been debating if I will purchase 4wd or not. Both my trucks were 2wd. The F150 came with a 3.55 LSD axle. The Ranger came with a 3.45 open axle and I added a 3.73 LSD axle from an Explorer. While I had the bed off, I added a rear sway bar from the same Explorer. I'm kinda mad that I never took any pics of that axle swap and sway bar installation.

Do you guys find something like this occurs in your (similar) sized /shape/lengths vehicles?
