Can a large casket fit in the bed? Why not slap a few 18's in there and pipe the output through the back. Who needs hydraulics when it looks like you're having sex sitting down listening to PEB, :laugh:

I jest I jest.

Actually, I was going to do a bandpass blowthrough, but the installer crapped out on me... and I can't afford it from anyone else.

I mean there's not enough air there for the subs to eh "breathe..." There's just not enough air in that area for it to move. I guess you could say cabin volume.

You don't have to worry about that, that's for sure. Your options (sealed and ported, basically) are still open.

Even with the option sealed v.s ported, I think I'll stick with sealed, better power handling, and tighter bass (I'm a rocker with some hip hop on the side). Plus my truck's over all size is small enough that two twelves are going to be a bit overdoing it anyways

Oh, no, not the "tighter bass" factor...

You'll probably keep it below the sub's power handling limit simply because it's not comfortable listening to over 120dB of music. The vented boxes are flat to a lower frequency - albeit larger - in case you listen to electronic music with low bass (20-30Hz, sometimes, as opposed to 40-60Hz).

Yes and feed it too low of a frequency at high amplitiude and she'll get loose and out of control. (insert ATOT nonwoman reference here)

Yes, but rarely is there music with significant energy below 30Hz, a common tuning frequency. Tune to 25Hz and loss of control of the cone is basically a non-factor.

Alright, so I should be looking for a ported box?
