Box For Wrangler

i wish i knew...let me know when someone explains tuning to you..lol.

ive seen suv's with the port firing back into the tailgate and subs up. or subs up and port up at the back window. either one works.

 

if I were you, I wouldn't go with anything less than 2 4" roundports atleast

 

in an suv i've always seen them fire into the tail gate or up the back window. in mine when i turned my box forward to move somethings i lost most of my bass.

so im not sure your gonna like firing the ports forward.

 

don't fire the ports forward. fire them at something, (back glass, or tail gate) it gives the sound something to resonate off of. I would really consider firing subs up, and ports towards the tailgate for the best bass.

 

i had a ported box in a single cab pickup truck that i had built and i had the subs facing the seat and the ports firing straight up at the roof, and it was super loud, two 12s ported at 34 hz. so idk.

 

aite man, let me know what works out the best. Good luck!

 

oh crap! you did say a wrangler. ok right, maybe a sealed box can work better for you

 

fire the port to the side maybe? i know in a convertible its hard to get any good low end output when the top is down.

 

ive never had luck with the ports firing forward. unless its in a wall. so built it with the ports on the same side as the subs and turn it around till it sounds good.

 

OH OK. keep us posted.

oh man i totally forgot about this....about 18 years ago i was at a local sound advice show and came across a red wrangler with its top down and it was demoing its system.

now back then all they had was a spot for 4x6 in the dash firing forward.... so it sounded real nice. all you could see was the head and the stock locations for the mids/highs, and no bass from where i was standing.

but the mid bass was awesome! so i asked if i could sit in it and then boom! im hearing and feeling the bass. i had to do a double take as i could not see an enclosure or even any amps.

so i had to ask. this jeep had 4'' comps in the stock location and dual 5.25 mid bass speakers in a fiberglass pod in the foot well. not in the kicks but just under the doors. firing across from each other. real nice indeed.

all the amps were in a false floor in the back. now this jeep had no back seats due to the false floor and amp placement. amps were all soundstream reference series. i wanna say 3 2CH amps one for each set of speakers.

now i had to ask about this bass that came from nowhere. the owner said..you see that square cloth in the tail gate just in front of the spare?


yeah so? well its a blow thru for the 3 tens in the tire. i was like say waaaaa. really? so he pulls off the tire cover and in it were 3 10's with a plexi face so you can see em ( fake fiberglass tire). i wanna say sound stream subs but not sure since its been so long.

if you saw this in a parking lot you would not know anything was there. it was frickin sweet.

just wanted to say his bass was very directional as you heard nothing standing beside it only in front of it. not even behind it so much either.

 

I would load the subs and port to the floor

 

never thought of that. that would work too
