here you go!

How does it sound? I am thinking of doing a very similar install very shortly. Did you build the box? How far back is your seat? Looks great!!

04titan · 12-21-2004, 05:32 PM

seat is all the way back. sub is in factory box. and its not hooked up yet, just to show you guys..

can you not put the seat down?

not a chance on putting seat down unfortuantly

That box is a beast! Tell us how it sounds when it is all hooked up though. That is a really nice sub. Everyone else on this forum steered me away from it because the box needed so much volume, hence not being able to fold down the rear seat.

How much volume does that sub require? Is there any chance of building a box that will allow you to put the seat down (even if the box has to span the hump and go under both seats)?

What was your cost on the sub & the box?

04titan · 12-22-2004, 12:06 PM

I only have one kid, so i don't use the smaller seat that often. and when i do need it, take off two wires on the sub and in the garage it goes. but now i think of it, if someone needs a ride, they can sit in the bed..lol.
DLH- i have a 500/1 too and im waiting for a 300/2, which will power phoenix gold 6.5 ti comps in the doors. where did you mount your 10w6v2 in your truck? i almost got a 12w6v2, but went with the w7 at last moment, partly because of the design of the box, which fits better (bigger/stable) in the interior. and that the 10w7 is said to put out the volume of 3 10w'3 as well. if that is only partially correct, i should be very happy. well that's the theory anyway, i will let you know.
i think the box volume is 1.25ft. the problem is that the woofer itself stands almost 10 inches high. you might be able to build a custom box wider/shorter, but it would never fit underneath either seat, so you would still lose the leg space regardless.

IT'S EXPENSIVE

the sub and the box are only sold as a pair from jl audio and you will never find them from internet retailers, at least cheaper anyway. i paid $599.00 from goodguys ($100.00 off retail) and since their a authorized jl dealer, it comes with a two year warranty. if it lives up to the hype, it will certainly be the last sub i need and i can live with the price if that's true.

I jumped on JL's site and saw they have a w12 and w13 in box's too. Did you check to see if either of the other sizes fit well in that space? Just curious if you know from experience whether or not the larger speakers/box's would fit too. Thanks!

04titan · 12-22-2004, 12:42 PM

the larger boxes are ported (h.o.= high output) and the prowedge (mine) is sealed. i have always preferred the sound of sealed over ported. plus the ported boxes are a massive 32 inches wide.

smoketitan · 12-22-2004, 03:50 PM

whoa!! just saw this

cool I bet it sounds good, I love the 10w7's

your poor little girls ears

have you hooked it up yet??

I sure hope you have sound deadened that back wall , or everyone in your neigborhood will hear the rattle machine rolling into the driveway

WazzuCoug · 12-22-2004, 03:59 PM

I was online, and the box's I am refering to are also the prowedge sealed. Just larger in size with either a 12w7 or a 13w7. They are the same design and look as your ten. "Did you check to see if either of the other sizes fit well in that space? Just curious if you know from experience whether or not the larger speakers/box's would fit too. Thanks!"

wazz; i think they would all fit. my wife has my truck right now so i can't measure. box sizes are as follows- 13.5w7= 18"h/22"w/18"d. 12w7= 16.5"h/20.5"w/17.25"d.
10w7= 14.5"h/17.75"w/16.75"d. i measured specifically for the 10w7 when i bought it, but by the looks of it, all would probably fit. remember cost is $200 per size increased. due to cost ratio the 10w7 was just the perfect size for me, lol. plus each size increase like about 250 more watts. i have a 500 watt amp and did not want to upgrade.
smoke; i will hook up by second week on january, ran out of $$. as far as my girl; "one more are we there yet" and its metallica for you!! lol.
