FuelSlut Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 I know i didn't make the box myself, it's a JL Audio Stealthbox, but thats how i mounted the amp... with a lil left over carpeting and some wood used to make a "cover" for the wires.... good luck with your box... i've never had a good experience making my own box, but then again... i dont work well with wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSplaytoy Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I am going to start a new one Tuesday. I am going to take my L7's and face them up. Amps are still going to go behind the seats. I will get pics up as soon as I get my camera fixed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwineng03ss Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 cool cant wait to see.. i was thinking i am going to face my L7's up also. not sure where i am going to mount the amp yet.. i think it is close to 22 inches long so i dont think i will be able to mount it in the box with the subs.. it may have to go on the back side of my seat as well. only thing that sucks about that is adjusting the amp. if anyone can post pics of some 12's with a big amp mounted in the box that would be sweet!! thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03ScreaminSS Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Here's my setup. 2 10" Kicker Comps with a P3002 Rockford Fosgate amp. I have the amp on top because I never have the back seat down, and when I do I just turn it off so it doesn't over heat. It bumps good. They are both being pushed at max RMS. Not a single rattle inside the truck, but go outside and the under body of the truck rattles. It's kind of amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTsBadSS Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 This is my box I have to 12 inch 500 watt fosgates. I mounted my amps on top of the box the one on the bottom is 500 watts thats for my door speakers and the amp up top is 1200 watts that pushes the box. It sounds good enough for me all I am missing is a EQ to make it sound a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwineng03ss Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 BigTsBadSS that looks great!! i think that is pretty close to how i am going to do mine!! check your pms thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_forma Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Bigts, how much air space do you have for that, doesn;t look like enough for 2 12's? What kinda fosgates you runnin also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTsBadSS Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I don't even rember what kind they are but if you look real close the is a 1inch gap from the floor and it sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwineng03ss Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 i am confused lol one person tells me to face them up the next tells me to face them down.. i can see bigts idea isnt bad leaving a gap for the subs.. i thought if i face them down and they fire directly at the floor everything bolted underneath the truck will rattle like crazy. i guess i will face them down and if i dont like it back to the drawing board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_forma Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I have mine facing down in my truck, the bass sounds great but I can hear everything rattle on the outside. I am myself going to build another box with them facing up so it can use the cab for air when the seat is up and it should sound fine with the seat down also. Either way it should sound good.

Big O Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I was always told that bass is best when it is reflected ... bounce it off something and you will be much impressed. Either way will work fine though .. I have a stealth box facing down ... i built a custom box that fires forward ... and I am now waiting on some free time to test the up facing boxes.

I remember when I had these subs in my camaro they slammed insanely hard and I just couldn;t believe it. I guess when it bounces off the windows in the open air space it makes them sounds a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
