Bought one empty in great shape for 30. It had a speaker (DVC) in it but it sounded like doodie. I can't remember if the single dvc Speaker that Toby had in the sherrif boxes was wired similar to the ranger boxes that used 2 SVC. I remember the ranger box worked on a push pull system. One of the subs was wired reverse and those toby boxes rocked. Now I'm thinking the sherrif works the same, the guy I bought the box from wired the sub wrong is why I thought I sounded like doodie.
Any help from someone? I'd love to know as I'm about to put this in and wanted to know before hand if anyone remembers the Toby boxes and how they were wired.

Toby inc is a small local independent that was known for his car subs & enclosures that required less then 100 watts. There are a few variations, the ranger box is a dual 10 inch sub that is in a large box the has 2 10 inch subs. One is facing up the other is facing down. The woofers are wired differently then a normal dual sub set up, both of these are SVC. Since they are inverted next to each other ( not on top of each other) one is the downward facing sub pushes and the upwards sub pulls. They work together to give more bass. Well the box I bought is a DVC single 10 inch box that is mounted facing down into a box. Here's a few pics so u get an idea of what I'm talking about. Since its a single DVC sub I wasn't sure if it was suppose to be wired one normal the other backwards like the ranger box. If u still don't understand ask a Local installer u know see if they know what Toby subs are and do.

This box with the sub wired right can out perform some sets of 12 inch speakers.

It was 1985 when I first heard the name, and I have not heard it since then. The guy that told me about it came from a Shop in Lake Charles, and had worked somewhere in Texas prior to that.
All I can tell you is that if you are using a Push Pull configuration, you do need to wire the woofers out of phase. Voice Coils of each woofer wired in phase with the other coil on that woofer, but woofer 1 wired out of phase from woofer 2.

if you are working with a single DVC sub woofer then you cant wire them out of phase, just wire it like it was two normal subs. you can pull up the sub woofer wiring calculator on this site and it will get you to the right final ohm load for your amp.

Well I'm local, not sure how to wire subs in or out ta phase. If I saw a configuration It wouldn't be a problem. Only thing stopping me from just trying different wiring till it sounds better is the thought of dropping my sub amp. I'll be wizzed if I blow a channel. I'm using a Sony d class amp, which has dual speaker outs. I'll check the sub config on here, I just know I would feel better before trying different doodie.
