Ok I have beaten the search feature to death and I haven't found what I'm looking for.

Right now I plan to run three 10"s, in a fiberglass enclosure. It's a standard cab, but space won't be an issue. as I plan to put the box in the bed, and have the speakers flush with the wall, for more space inside.

Where can I find how to set up a fully tuned system, specific to the cab of the pickup.

Thanks for any help

well first off make sure your subs are operating in the correct amount of air space to achieve the best overall sound quality

other than that your crossover and levels on your amplifiers are prob the most important thing

what I always do is tune the front stage and amp first and once I get those sounding to my taste I then turn to the subs and amp

in a truck what I like to do and I think this sounds the best is to cross your front stage over real low if they can hang and also cross your subs over at like 50 to 55 on the amplifier

it keeps it clean and solid and you don't have the 70 &up HZ tones blaring through the subs and sounding muddy

and also make sure your levels are matched between your amps and source unit

any more questions let me know

Thanks for the help DS1434.

for what I have to work with (no size restrictions) would a sealed box be my best bet? Also, if sealed is what I should go for, should each sub be sealed from the others, in the same enclosure?

Thanks

for SQ i would go sealed and if your sus are wired in parellel and you amp is bridged or a mono block  it is not necessary to have seperated chambers for each sub
