2005 dodge ram 1500
I have this massive triple sub 10", shared lower vent, chambered box 16.5x20x49(with port).... port size is 2.25"x49"x12.5". I have 2 alpine swr-10d4(1000rms-3000peak), and one swr-1043d(600 rms-1800peak). all were previously ran in parallel @ 1 ohm (i think) going to a rockford fosgate t1000.1 power series. Suprisingly it hardely even got warm and pushes them hard.
BTW!!= I just yesterday wired in my red top underneath my back seat and i have that wired to the bullz audio 2f cap=> everything wired to that...(i have a normal stock truck battery up front)
My questions: 1.Is my port the right length?(can it sound better if made longer/shorter/complete chamber)
2. Is the box itself too big or is it ok?
3. Where can i find a wiring diagram or does somone know how to do 1ohm to all 3 speakers or just two?
4. [would having a diff rms sub on the same 1ohm wire do anything bad?] if so.
5. i have a 1600 boss amp that i've wired into my truck in my current setup of a center console box i made(but it seems to be having a hard time pushing it because it goes onto "protect" mode alot.)
6. should i get rid of my capacitor and stick with just the two batterys?
And i have a 1600 boss 800.2 amp and two kicker cvr 12" 05cvr124(400rms-800peak) that im selling to a friend and i was looking for a badass ported box design thats loud going into the back of his old jeep...the available space is{length from back seat to rear door}x{width fromside to side of car}x{height} 25"x35"x15" (If i want to be able to slide it in from the back without him having to take off his top or putting it in from the front) if not then 25"x35"x MIN(15")MAX(30")...
My questions:1. I also have some nice component speakers laying around... could i cut holes for them too?[would i need to chamber them completly off from the subs?]
im open to any ideas i can make some crazy stuff.
My current setup is a center console box with the two swr-10d4's (recently attempted to invert the one closest to front and doesnt sound right) going to that rockford fosgate t1000.1bd... and when i inverted i hooked one to the boss amp and another to the fosgate from the capacitor...but just didnt sound right... i have a problem when they are both right side up... the way the box is made all the air space is at the ground and the sub closest to front gets pushed out further and clips...i also beleive the box is just barely over the minimum for sealed air space.
My questions: 1. take out the capacitor= just 2 batteries
2. i tried to invert it? and couldnt find a diagram to reverse polarity but idk if thats what i need to do or what.
3. port it maybe? but how?---
p.s. everything is perfectly sealed on both boxes.

Hi Zach, question overload here.
Do you have any info on the woofers like the T/S parameters? Without them it's a crap shoot at best. If you string your questions out a little more some of the smart guys here might be able to help. I am going to put this thread over in car audio to see what the response is there. Good luck with this.

1: It appears to be tuned at around 40Hz. That's OK for most vehicles unless you're going to compete for SPL.
2: There are ported 'alignments' that require specific volumes. Most people don't go for any particular alignment. In general, you can get more SPL out of larger enclosures but they are not suitable for many people who can't afford to take up more space. If the manufacturer recommends a particular ported enclosure size (generally there are several suggestions for different applications), use what the manufacturer recommends.
3: You're likely going to have to use only the two Alpines if you want exactly 1 ohm (appear to be dual 4 ohm subs).
4: Not a question that can be answered in the way it was phrased.
5: Is the Boss rated to drive a 1 ohm load?
6: I don't recommend that anyone buy a cap but if you have it, it's not likely to do any harm.
You can't install the component speakers in the same enclosure as the subs unless they're sealed from the sub. The back-pressure from the subs would likely destroy them.
1: See above
2: Invert what (signal, speaker itself...)?
3: It's probably too small to port unless the entire port was outside the enclosure.
From the photo, it appears that there is far more enclosure depth behind the front woofer. that would cause the air to load the speaker differently and could explain the increased excursion.
I agree with Cal. In the future, limit the number of questions and you're much more likely to find people willing to help.

i just basically want the triple box itself to be the best possible it can be.
what would i need to do to make that box be "compete'ing worthy"?
and about the two alpines running to 1 ohm i get it... and i have that other boss amp... if i wired the other alpine up to the boss would that make it better or cause it to sound worse from 2 diff amps...
and for the sealed box in my truck... if i ported it on the outside of the box how would i go about doing that?... i really only have a couple options without making it look bad... either porting it under the seat, or i really dont know what else.
and thanks for the replys i appreciate it!

Thanks Perry, you're the best resource we have in this section, hands down.
Cheers.
