Sub Help!

[PFC Laird]

Does anyone have any ideas or have put 2-12in subs in a regular cab ranger??

pictures help

"my subs are only about 8in deep"

Its goin to be a tight fit, might help to know what kind of subs they are to. Your best bet would be a set of 10's, like I got in me supercab, or a really custom box.

I don't mind if they're a tight fit....

they're Massive PW12's

take some measurements of the space your going to put them. youll need to take into consideration the overall depth of the sub, motor clearance in the box, wood thickness for box, clearance for the sub during excursion and youll have to find out the manufaturer's recomended box size.

looking on the manufacturers website i found this:
x-max(excursion)=15mm peak to peak
sub displacement=0.05sqft
mounting depth=5.5"
overall depth 6"
sealed box volume=.55sqft net

Lets see.. I think it was either skippy or that one guy that had the same icon that had this white regular cab ranger.. when he bought it it had a metal box welded up to a hole in the cab, and that's where the subs were. Apparently the PO just cut a hole in the back of the cab and put that there. I would recommend that only if you don't care much about cargo space and you have a good tonneau cover.

uhhh yea...my tonneau's broken right now... even then i dont think i'd want to be cuttin into my cabin

It's generally not a good idea.. haha

 

[PFC Laird]

yea i seen a guy who did that but not with a tonneau. he did it with a rubbermaid tool box sealed to his bed with Great Stuff....looked pretty tacky

This was done with a metal box, didn't look that bad but it did make you wonder what was in the box.

 

[PFC Laird]

this is beginning to look impossible to me, nobody seems to try to fit 12s. Thing is ive alread spent the money on the equipment and i dont want to spend money to swap out for 10s

its called a blow through design. it is pretty cool when its done right.

PFC Laird, i honestly dont think you could get those subs to work. i think theyre too deep. overall dpeth of the sub is 6". then youll have to add 1" for motor clearance in the box. another 1" for for clearance of the sub during excursion so it doesnt hit the back of the seat. then you either add 1"(if you use .5" mdf) or 1.5"(if you use .75" mdf). thats 9-9.5" of space youd need from the back of the seat to the back wall of the cab. take some measurements and see if it will work. thats the only way to know for sure. just because someone put 12s in the truck before doesnt meen you can. every sub is differenct.
