10" Ported Box Build

I'm trying to see if I can squeeze as close to 4 cu ft after port and sub displacement in the hatch right at the rear seat line

Box will be tuned somewhere around 28-32 Hz still trying to decide

@my2k13speed3 So what would you recommend running ? I'm currently looking at 2 CT sound 8's (Strato / Meso) or 2 Sundown Sa-8's? I'm looking to get a box built maybe sometime this week. And cannot decide. I'm going 2 8s because of space. My trunk will still be useable. So, that's always a plus.

 

I've seen and read a lot of great things on the ct meso 8's but the sundown as-8's are more proven.

What type of amp you looking to run? Those 8's can take some serious power

I'm still trying to figure brands out but 1200-1500W. I think 1500 would be max ideal for my setup.

 

Soundqubed 1200.1 will be on sale for $220 between 11/25 - 12/01

Not sure on your budget but DC audio, twisted sounds and synergy audio are all nice Korean board amps

Do you have any pictures of your installation? Where and how are you running your power wires ? I'm about to installation soon and need in that department.

 

I don't really have that many pictures of the install but I ran 4 gauge power wire though the big ass rubber grommet on the passenger side. Mounted the fuse on the battery box.

Ran RCAs along the driver side

Here's a picture I found and I ran the power wire along the same one going to the alternator, wish I did the Big 3 at the time but I was lazy will be re doing everything soon

 

Yeah I know that grommet you are talking about. I looked at it today, it goes to this plastic piece underneath the glove box/fuse panel. Do you just force wire through there? The plastic piece holds the AC lines and there is no room. That's where I'm confused ?

 

I have a gen 2 and there are is nothing going through that, I made some cuts in the grommet with a box knife and drilled s hole just large enough to feed the power wire through.

My car is not with me right now otherwise i would take a picture of it

Use a Christmas tree bit to the appropriate size on the plastic piece of the grommet pair (there's two pieces). On the rubber piece (the other half of the pair), slice an X-shaped hole with a sharp razor blade in the appropriate region to press the cable through. This is exactly what I did when I ran methanol wires in wiring loom through that grommet during my install. Taking a 10mm wrench to remove the front bolt on the heat shield back and to the left of the valve cover will give you a little bit more room to work; you can flex the shield out of the way a little bit that way.

 

Got 15s?

@Redline Thanks bro I really appreciate it.

Holy shit those are insane!! Almost no point past 18s in my opinion... wish I could fit both 15s in the speed but i can't loose my back seat so just putting one in a 3 cu ft box after sub and port displacement

Awesome choice, I like how you can strap two amps together. How are you going to run it? The sub is a 2 ohm Dual Coil so are you going to run it 4 ohm for the cleaner THD, or you going with a 1 ohm?

 

For now I'm going to run the Fi Q at 2 ohms (dual 1-ohm sub), amp is certified at around 1400-1500 watts RMS at 2 ohms.

Eventually when I get my Iraggi alternator installed and XS Power batteries going to look into picking up a pair of 12s and run the amp at 1 ohm or pick up a 2nd one and strap them.

I'm a bass head at heart so my system will evolve over the next few months. Starting to look into running front stage active with a dsp never done that before
