18 Screw subwoofer box help!
Hey guys, I am an old “basshead” looking to add subs to my 18’ SCrew. I am having a hard time deciding between the following 2 boxes:
SubThump Rear Console box- using a large 12” sub, currently considering the SSA GCON. Powered by a JL 1000/1
http://subthump.com/Ford-F150-Superc...ack-New-1.html
FoxBox dual ported box. For this I am looking at the Sundown SA-10s or Alpine Type R 10’s
http://www.foxacoustics.com/ProductD...50-SC-210-V-09
Has anyone had experiences with either enclosure? I am leaning towards the sealed enclosure as I like deep deep bass and the fox box is tunes to 36hz. So essentially playing lower than the tuning frequency can damage your subs and I listen to a lot of music with ultra low frequencies. Any input is appreciated!

I had a single Sundown 10” DVC sub in a box similar to the fox box you linked above; in my 13’ SCREW. It hit pretty hard, those subs are pretty wicked, but the enclosure wasn’t exactly the best fit and didn’t fit the sub real well.
In my 18’ I used a custom enclosure from Mobile Toys Inc which came loaded with a JL 12TW3. The fit is 100 times better and the sub is far more efficient then the Sundown was, that thing took some serious power. I’m running an Alpine PDX-V9 to power the components active and the sub off of the 5th channel and it hits harder and crisper then the SD 10 by far.
The price of the MTI enclosure was very reasonable and the quality is outstanding. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a sub enclosure without a second thought.
there are pics of everything in my build thread if you want to hit the link in my sig.

When I found the console box from Subthump I was sold. After I found out how much it was to ship to Canada I decided to build my own for a fraction of the price. Took damn near the whole weekend but it was worth the time IMHO. I will be throwing everything back together later tonight and I will post some pics. Can't wait to hear my 12" Focal K2 sub
