Any Ideas????

Ok, I need some advice...

Has anyone put anything larger than a 10" woofer in the back of a QC?

I want to keep the back seats, if possible, but I also want to mount 2 12" subs. As it is right now, the magnet on a typical high-end sub is too big for the space under the back seat.

I would love to see pics of anything anyone has done to improve the stereo system in a QC.


I don't want to have to build a huge fiberglass box and remove the back seats.

I may have to go back to the JL Audio 12" subs, they have a smaller magnet circumference.

This blows!

Try a hole saw. :burnout: :aetsch:

I'm thinking you can find some shallow 12's. I havent been in car audio for 10 years, but they should still make something.
If I can put 4 10's in the back of a RC, you should be able to get 2 12's under your seat.

Seen it done, and a box built under a truck before.

Depth is not the problem. The Sub I have is only 6 5/8" deep. It's the circumference of the magnet and magnet cover that are a problem.

There is only one brand of Audio that makes a sub with a small enough magnet (That I would consider worthy of buying) and that is JL. I know they make quality stuff, but I really wanted to do a Rockford Fosgate system...

I have considered it, or something like it...

There is enough room under the cab, and nothing really in the way, to push the sheet metal about 2.5 inches out of the way, but I am not sure what the "Ram"ifications would be. :dontknow::dontknow:

check with probox. they make a box with 10's thatll do what you want.

Yeah, I have looked at that. Still 10's. I want 12's.

And, the Probox is pricey!!

Not sure how the speakers will perform but Kicker Solobaric L7's is how I would go and plan on going. The cubic feet required is less than others. Probably didnt help but figured I would give my .02.

 

[ntw0rk]

AWww.. the hell with it.

I am going to return the Fosgate and order the JL Audio 12"...

JL Audio 12w3v3-2 12" 500 Watt RMS Subwoofer.

Should do the trick... Just not exactly what I had in mind.

best box for the rams

im running a jl w3 and it slams lol

JL makes fine equipment. You'll be happy.

I know, the Fosgate was meant to replace a JL 12" that blew out on me...

Actually, the speaker is fine, the rubber ring is what failed...

the 10's sounded better than the 12's hard to get enough air to the 12's under the back seat. just not enough room. i had a el cheapo 1000 watt mono amp pushing the 10's and you couldnt sit in it with it half way up.

 

[wesalbert]

you couldnt sit in it with it half way up.

Thats because you listen to country

 

[Yellow venom]

Thats because you listen to country

LMAO! That was goooood!
What about those square subs?

Yeah L7's like I said...small box, big boom

 

[Black1]

Yeah L7's like I said...small box, big boom

Yep, I had ONE 8" L7 in my Lightning and it slammed like 2 12s. :rock:

Rockford Fosgate is GARBAGE .... you did right going with JL, Scoot. Did you have a grill on your sub before? If not, I bet that would keep the rubber surround from being tore up.
