I have a 12" Alpine Type X sub, Alpine MRD 1005 mono block amp, and a Tsunami 5 fared capacitor. I have had this setup for a while and plan on getting a big ported box built and putting in the back seat of my CC. I just don't know if it will get as loud as I want in that truck?

 

A 12" subwoofer can sound loud in any vehicle if you build the box right. It's way more about the box than it is the subwoofer... You'll likely produce more db at a given wattage simply by using a ported box vs a sealed box, so if you're just in the market for volume you are on the right track.

 

ana is right. Its all about the box. You can put a crap speaker in a well designed box and it will out play an expensive speaker in a crappy box.

How loud are you trying to get?

 

Pretty loud!

 

LOL. Well your probably going to be fine uless your trying to do the hair trick.

 

Hair trick?

 

When its loud enough to make long hair stand straight out. Its a big thing with people wanting high SPL vehicles. There are TONS of videos on you tube. Here is one.

Lol, I'm not trying to get that loud. I have a friend with 2 p2 10's on a 1200 watt fosgate amp in a single cab ford behind the seat, I would like to be louder than him!

 

You probably wont be louder than him but it will be close thats a good bit of cone area in a small cab like that. He is proably running a sealed system but if your is ported right you should drop deeper than his.

 

Yea his is sealed.
