8in subs in a sealed box

Anyone running 8in non-shallow subs in a sealed box?

 

2 12s behind the seat

 

Yea but with not a lot of air space.

 

They work just fine and built to work. They sound just fine to me and anyone else that rides in the truck. But I am not one to rattle everyone’s cars at a red light with the bass turned to 11.

 

What subs do you have?

 

Not sure your gonna be able to fit a non shallow mount sub behind the rear seats.

I run 2 JL 10tw3-d4's in a ported box powered by a pair of JL Hd900/5's

 

I do not remember at all,, I’ll have to look for some paperwork

 

2 12"Rockfords in my truck,shallow mounts. It pounds hard but I rarely turn it up that high anymore. In my 50s now.

 

I’ve got two of these behind rear seat of my crew cab. Not sealed tho.

did you have to do anything to make them fit?

 

Nope. They’re in there pretty tight tho.

 

I used to run an Infinity Reference 8 shoehorned in to .3 cu ft of space. Using the T/S parameters and WinISD, that's an acceptable airspace for it. It worked better than expected with good sound quality that would rattle the rear view but, as expected, it didn't rattle the rearview of the car next to me..

I believe the newer Kappa 8 would work in the a very similar airspace.

 

I can tell you that a pair of 8” Kicker Comp RT subs in a poorly built 0.6ft sealed enclosure on a CXA660 sound like hammered dog shit.

Well, that’s not really fair. They sound ok if you are accepting of a sub setup that is efficient at about 50hz…


I’m sure they’d be much better in a quality enclosure. I may repurpose them into my daughter’s Prius. She wants some beats.

 

10” Kicker’s behind the seat in a prefabbed, ported box. (I usually build my boxes but didn’t have time then) it sounds pretty good.

 

QTS of those subs lean more towards a ported box.

 

I have that similar box if not the same one with some shallow 10s RF.

 

now that’s a box! What year is your truck?

 

2013 CM

 

2016 crewmax

Rockford fosgate p2 8 inch will fit behind the seat

I have 2 of them ported

 

4 8s can sound amazing….. can even be a preferred choice depending on your music tastes. But if you want LOW DEEP bass they will lack and there’s better options. 2 10s or 12s of semi shallow depth can fit behind the crew max seat. LOTS of folks here running Tech12volts enclosures.

JL, ARC, Audiomobile, Dayton, and a crapload of others make workable 10, 12, 13.5 drivers that fit the bill.

 

Nice. any pics? I just ordered 2 black brick 8s. They are close to the same specs as yours.

 

No pics
Just a standard ported box
Just have to make the cutout for the seat.
Google soundbox tundra subwoofer box.
It is a good reference on how mine is done

 

Do you recall the manufacturer for this enclosure?

 

OP asked about non-shallow 8” subs. Gately sells a box that looks amazing with (4) 8” drivers. I believe it’s a ported enclosure though…

From what I hear, it’s very good. And a pile of money.

 

I do not. If I find it I’ll let you know.

 

No worries. Just gathering ideas.
