box for 4 12s in ranger supercab

[timothy47129]

Is anyone running 4 12s in their ranger super cab?what is the best way to face the subs?up? down ?toward seats? i attached a pic i found online of what i would like to build but think i would hear alot of distortion with them facing up.I might go for the downward firing but i dont know thats why i posted here.thanks

I didnt quite have that in mind but damn thats a clean set up.But wouldnt loose some sound being aimed at the seats?

im running 2 10s facing up and it sounds great but if you can face them down that would probably be best.

 

[timothy47129]

Yeah the more i think of it the more i think im gonna build it with them firing down.I would kinda rather them not be seen but heard lol

update: I ended up building one like the one like on you tube.And still have room to put stuff behind seat and recline the seats back.Now on to carpet install on box , head unit install,wiring amp and crossover

Good choice on the box

What will you be running? And most amplifiers have built in crossovers. You're gonna need some serious wire on whatever you are putting in there as well.

power acoustik 1800W 1/0 monster for amp power ,3.5 fared cap,monster rca's,amp has pretty good built in crossover but have a mtx crossover as well.And will be pushing 4 older Mtx thunders untill I save up enough to upgrade without the wife knowing.

Oh and the box is built to spec 1.25cf and fits like a glove just needs carpet to be done.

eww sealed?

 

[timothy47129]

Its a sealed box.Would be a little on the small side for ported wouldnt it.lol

tisk tisk. unless your goin for more sq. then its sorta okay

 

[timothy47129]

Well I got it all in and hooked up and wow it hits hard.It could just be me though beacuse Im used to having subwoofers in the trunk not in a truck.It was well worth the time it took.And the end result is amazing .Now I gotta go carpet shopping on ebay to finish it.

Everyone keeps tellin me to flip these around to the rear.So how much space do you all that have them facing the rear have between your subs and the back of the cab?I would have about 2" if i faced them to the rear and still have the room i need for the seat.I was thinkin about 6" would prob be best but idk.

I would think you would only need enough room for the excursion of the subs. And it seems like you'd get an awful lot of rattle if you faced them bassackwards, unless you laid down the deading real thick back there....
