[quote:e9x1sul1]Anyone care to eleborate on the benefits of porting my sub box? Right now its non ported if i ported it what would the diffrence in sound be?
Porting the box will give you louder looser bass, It take less power to run a ported sub then one in a sealed box. Sealed boxes have tighter, cleaner bass. if you port, make sure you just dont cut a hole in it and call it good cause it will sound like ****. you need to buy, or make the plastic port with tube going into the inside of the box. the length of the tube on the inside of the box helps tune the sound.[/quote:e9x1sul1]
The best way to make a port is actually to build a slot port right into your box. That way you can download a program that tells you how big and deep to make the port, WINSID I think, to make it sound best for what frequency you want.
I have 2 Alpine Type S 10 incher under my back seat, pushed by a Pioneer PRS-5000SPL amp. They're being over driven, but man do they hit way better with that 75 watts over. I have a Pioneer deck to, can't remember the model number. I am saving up for some new door and pillar speakers, and they're gonna get run by a Alpine PDX amp, just don't know what one yet.
Heres my subs:
In this truck:
Truck looks way different now,I shaved the trim and took off the fender trim and mudflaps. Looks real clean now.
RMS is the average wattage that your system will use, that is over simplified but I don't know what it actually is
Blackstone Cherry, AC/DC, Papa Roach, Lil Jon, Korn, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and Stevie Wonder sound real nice in my truck.
