So I'm pretty set on running sundown audio subs just not sure what I can get the loudest with. I want loud in your face bass or as close as I can get with a scab 2004 with center shifter and a 2.5" back seat lift. I will not do a blow through I actually use my truck bed and I need the back seats so i cant take them out either. I don't want to add batteries cause there just isn't any space.

I will be doing the big 3 upgrade as well as upgrading my battery (will need a recomendation on which battery to get as well) currently have a duralast yellow top lol and if I have to ill upgrade the alternator if I absolutely have to but I'd prefer not since they kinda expensive lol.


2 sd-2 12 sealed?
1 sd-2 12 ported?
2 sd-2 10 sealed?
1 sd-2 10 ported?
2 sa-8 ported? Could be forward firing?

I plan to run the sub(s) off of a 5 channel amp for ease of installation as well as keeping the price down. I was thinking the hifonics brx5000.5 for the amp unless i can find something that does the job better for near the same price. (230ish)

I'm leaning towards the sd-12 ported because I've built a ported sub for home use a JL 13" and it will drive people out of the room (small game room) and I've honestly never heard good sealed subs that didn't have a ton of power going to them and I'm not sure the stock alt could provide enough? But them I'm not even 100% sure I'll have enough ft^3 for the ported so them I'm thinking 2 ported sa 8s facing forward. IDK lol too many choices.

The rest of the stereo will be unless there is better for the same price.

Front doors Pioneer TS-D1720C (100)
Back doors Pioneer TS-D6802R (70)
Head unit Pioneer AVH-X5600BHS (380 with dash kit and harness)

And the front runner atm for amp

5 channel amp Hifonics brx5000.5 (230)

Well I guess that's about all sorry for the long post lol thanks in advance.

If you lifted the back seat you could probably fit an SA12 ported. I would do that or 2 SA8s or 3 e8s ported

The sa12 is 6.5" deep using .75 wood that would put me at 8" with no room for the rear pole vent or allowing room for excursion wouldn't that be a problem? I got my lmi 2.5 lift in the mail today soon as the rain passes it's going in so I can get some accurate measurements.

Measurements would be helpful. there are ways you could finagle some depth. If the SA12 has a 6.5 inch mounting depth, then you will need a box 7.25 deep (since you dont count the baffle). that will put the pole vent right up against the back of the enclosure. To alleviate this you cut a round hole slightly larger than the sub magnet in the back side of the enclosure and cover that hole with 1/8 inch hardboard. I would personally rabbet that in to make it flush but you dont have to. that gives you an extra 5/8 to 3/4 inch clearance for the pole vent. A small 4-6 inch circle of 1/8 material will not hurt the integrity of the enclosure. your enclosure is either 7 1/4 deep or 7 3/8 depending on whether you rabbet the 1/8 inch piece in

Yea I was hoping to get the lift in today but it was day 2 of southern California only rainfall in years lol 7" in last 48 hours. Supposed to stop raining Monday so it's going in then if not tomorrow damn weather.

2 sd12 sealed

king nothing

That would be nice too. But expensive.

I'm thinking the 2 sd 12 sealed actually I don't see how I could get a ported 12 in there too much air coming out the port.

king nothing

What???

dipschnit

^i was thinking the same thing!
