i have a similar box... but mine doesnt have the amp rack in the middle.... and i need the 1000/1 i only hav the 500/1

 

nope, the recommended box volume for a sealed w6 is .65 cu ft and its exactly so.

and yup, thats all i used to raise the seat as well..

 

true that. but i would still run it around 1 cu ft IMO......looks dang good though, clean install

 

dont want to make them too much oversized or you'll get horrible bass response. really should always go with the recommended specs for sealed boxes.. i polyfilled them but thats as much as i'd do.

but thanks for the compliment

 

yeah, i guess if you are just starting out and want to be on the safe side sticking with the factory specs is the way to go. I have learned through experience that depending on how you like your bass output and sound quality the factory specs are not always the best way to go so i like to experiment with several boxes to see which suits my needs the best. That is what i am in the process of doing right now in my truck.

 

bigger box = boomier
smaller box = tighter bass

If you have a big and you want to increase the effective volume of the box simply add some polyfill.

 

Looks great!

 

poly fill is just cotton right?

 

i had the same set up in a single cab im about to do the same on my 07 same amp and subs

 

nope...polyester fiberfill = polyfil...and it's the stuff that's inside of a pillow...for $2 at wally world (wal mart) go buy a pillow cut the bitch open and test & tune...THERE IS NO FORMULA FOR POLYFIL and everyone has their own ways but i say

2.5 - 3.5 cu.ft. = 1/2 lb polyfil/cu.ft.
3.5 cu.ft. + = no more than 1 lb polyfil/cu. ft.
