hey folks.

I am going to be building a box to fit in the back of a 98 dodge dakota ext cab. I have a few designs down and just wondering if anyone can think of anything cooler. http://oregonstate.edu/~cummingp/Pictures/boxx.JPG Thats what I got.... think I may have bracing issues. Forbidden says it could take my head off, literally. Got any ideas for 4 12's? -- posted image. Just let me know if ya have any ideas.

YIKES.  Is that intended to cover the rear window?  Yea, I think Rob's decapitation estimate is pretty right on.  What are you planning to load in that thing?

I think plans have slightly changed. Im loading 12 inch w3 d4's in it. After talking to a tech guy form jl for a while I decided i will prolly do all four facing the ground. He said that because I have little air volume in the truck it would help the subwoofers perform better. The plan was to make the box roughly 42 inches high. Yes it is tall. After going out to my truck and taking a look around I decide I wouldnt like that. In any case I was/am going to make a fiberglass overlay for the box. Essentially its function is just going to be to cover the part of the floor that doesnt have the carpet on it. WIth the way the plans are looking now though Ill be having a box with the demensions of 52in x 20.5 x 19.5 (l h w). Does firing the subs down with limited air space help?

i've always heard a downfire box sounds good because it gives the subs something to load off of, but i don't have much experience with them personally

what!?!?! you want some??

Well, I have a 97 F-150 with a single 8" in it. When i first put it in i had it firing up into the back seat and it sucked bad. But when i flipped it over it kicked some butt. Seemed like it really brought out the lower end of it that i couldn't hear before. BUT, i have an 8", you will have 4 12's, big difference. With that many and that size, don't think it would matter too much. Its going to slam regardless!!
