You just don’t get people nowadays taking their time to inform people, definitely ole school. In my industry we call these guys & girls SME’s( subject matter experts ). Usually, SME’s get paid a lot of money for imparting their knowledge to the client and they efficiently do it, NO Fluff. Here, we are getting this knowledge freely and across massive geographic locations in a matter of minutes. What a time to be living in, I appreciate the technology for making this possible and I also appreciate you MBE & Ms. MBE for giving so freely. Much respect to the Bass SME.
MBE, you explained this so well and so easy to understand. I’ve often considered putting subs in my truck but I feel like going with 6.5’s or 8’s will be a better choice as you mentioned. Great video.
I normally wouldnt comment but this is one i will because i worked hard on the R&D to get all the right pcs put together to do what I wanted then went and tested at a show 2 10's underseat 3 cube box 58sqin port area 143.77 at 33hz sundown audioshow23 they put me in assassin should have been bandit
MB, Too many variables to account for, but if the box is right, the subs will be right! Now port area is a diff story, you might get the volume needed, but fitting port can be tricky. I'm a week into my new under-seat setup (2) DD 3510s / 3cu box / 6in octoport to passenger w/ a 2.5" lift. Box pokes out 2" but i'm fine w/ that. As far sound, well so far I've run (2 / 3 / 4) Gately relentless 8s under-seat, depth of bass similar to (3) 8s and output too.
Would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on the kicker l7t preloaded truck boxes. Specifically for the 02-18 ram. Your the truth man nothing but respect!
I have a 2017 Toyota Tundra Crewmax. The 8”s weren’t loud enough for me. Removed the lower portion of the seat. Built a wedge design with a divider and the middle and put each 10” subwoofer on each side along with ports. The truck loads louder when the port and subs are facing the side. Sounds like shit when they were facing the back of the seats. I agree MB, they move so much damn air that it makes my vision blurry …. 😂 Definitely more for SPL, especially at 3k Watts. Mb is absolutely correct, for SQ 10s or 8s. If you’re trying to get loud 8s aren’t going to cut it.
Thank you so much for this info. I wanted your opinion on if can squeeze 10s vs 8s. I know you already have everything measured for 8s( and tuning) in a pickup cab and that in itself was impressive, but the 90s in me wanted to get as close to the 12s! 🫨🫨🫨 I’m overly satisfied with all of your content. Thank you for helping me make a sound, informed decision. Can’t wait for my enclosure ✊🏾…may god continue to bless you and your fam! 💯
I gave up on 8s Currently have 2 b2 rage xl 10s And have 2 dd 9510s waiting to go in. Just finished the box. Got 4.16 cubes net under a 2011 f150 seat.
@anthonywashington9731 also I had to cut windows in the top of the box and used fiberglass mat to help clear the motors. Only needed like half an inch so the motors don't even clear the 3/4" top
The world want to see that box.😂 .. you do realize using the dimensions you have that is 4.16 gross not net… you have not accounted to the port ,(which is .46 displacement subtracted from that 4.16 if it’s 6” in diameter and 24 long for a low 30’s tune ) and you have not subtracted the displacement of the subs which should be .28. So a little over 3 which is good for them. But definitely not 4.16 net. 😂 And the rear seat is now useless. Fact
Hello MB. I just bought a 2012 Ram 2500 crew cab. I was going to buy from Crutchfield a premade box that holds 2-10s. But now you got me thinking about just putting 2-8inch. Do you make a box for under the seat for my crew cab pick up truck?
I have a crew cab Sierra and have a single dc audio level 2 10 in a down fire ported box. The low end bass sounds great and it doesn't distort at full playing volume. I do have to have all 4 windows all the way down for it to really hit hard lol. Sucks during winter months
If you want the best bass you want the subs as close to the boundary of the vehicle as possible. Bass goes in every direction so the closer you get to the center of the vehicle, the more likely you will get cancelation.
@M.B.Enclosures you can actually take a sub and put it in the drivers seat, run an rta with a mic and move the mic around to different locations in the vehicle. Where you get the best frequency response is the ideal location for the sub. That normally ends up at the boundary of a vehicle. Generally speaking in a trunk one of the corners usually works out best.
@@theplatinumcaraudio Personally, I think it's better to just put the microphone in the driver's seat and then use a small, squarish sub in different locations. This allows you to change the position and orientation of the sub and see the results. In most vehicles you only have a couple of locations to put a subwoofer. Seeing the change with the sub firing up or backwards or forwards, etc... is an important aspect.
Maybe we can convince MB to build his own acoustical and electrical RTA for under $200. I've been thinking about making a video how to assemble the parts and use it.
