    Default 12 inch sub in vr ute

    you can only physically fit a ported 10inch woofer in the area next to the fuel tank. it is ported into cabin via vent hole. it costs about 500 to professionally build and install. It sounds like a 12 inch because of the port and cabin space.

    you can physically fit a 12 in there as i have one - and yea they crank up pretty good too

    $500?? try 30 buks worth of materials and a couple hours with a saw and drill

    i asked for them a fair bit too, but i think alot of people have had them made or bought them, i made mine with no plans, you just need to measure things carefully, can give you a photo if you want - but theres already heaps of them floating round on the forum

    wish i had written some of the measurements down though...... could of made a bunch of them

    Default vr ute box pics

    here is a box i made to fit in a ute. slo_firo can you send me a pic of the 12 in the area next to fuel tank. I don't believe you would have got the recomended box size. And what kind of box is it, sealed , bandpass, ported. 10 inch woofers are ideal in a bandpass ported box.

    just a sealed box, my sub is a boshmann pro series or something (i got 2 of them for free so dont know the specs) and yea i know the box may be lacking a bit in volume but its not exactly the greatest sub in the world.... i dnt care too much - i listen to metal so it doesnt bother me that im loosing bass..... and if i destroy my sub i have a spare ready to go in

    will upload pic soon, gotta get it off my fone
