I have a 02 Sierra Single cab and have plans on making a ported box that will wold one 10 Kicker L7. I am planing on going 1.3cf with a rectangular port of 2.75" X 11.25" and 17.75" long. I plan on firing the port towords the passenger leaving about 2 inches of clearence. At what Hz would this enclosure be tuned with these specs. I have not seen a ported pre-fab box for a sc truck. I was just wondering if anybody has experimented going ported on sc.
Thanks.....!

hey shark_g

i have a ported box in my regular cab, setup for 2 tens. i'd definatley want to hear your setup if you ever get it done. i was planning to go with a l5 before i heard the db's. let me know if you want to see the box.

 

Oh one more thing. These enclorure specs came with the L7 but it does not specify at what frequency it is tuned.

 

I have 2-L7 10's in my truck . Each one running .66 c.f. I will be trashing this box in favor of a larger down firing box. How much power are you planning? Mine are powered by a JBL BP1200 (1200x1) Also curious on why a ported box. I have had several solobarics and I just like the seal box sound better.

 

Actually I love the way L7 sound sealed I have heard several setups I have been very immpressed. However, I have a friend with a GTP and he had a single 12L7 feeding it 600w from a JBL amp and went from sealed to ported. My god that thing came alive. It just hit so much harder in the ported box. I going to run my 10L7 off an Orion XTR 500.2. Its only 500w but I hear they are under rated amps. I am off for the summer and i have all the time in world so I am probably just go ahead a built 2 enclosures and compare them.
RGVSierra, I would definately want to hear your set up.

 

Have you checked Kickers website? I guess I havn't heard a good setup in a poted box. Oh well, with 2, I don't have the room for it anyway. Good luck, let me know how it turns out.

 

hey shark_g, now that your off the summer, maybe you can get with us tomorrow to hit the track, there are at least two others going, i'm going mainly for a rematch against this 91 Chevy truck. He has me by 2 to 3 trucks on the street, but he's running MT's. let me know..
