 Subject: sub in custom center console
IP: Logged
Message:
I had an idea to make a custom console for my '95 extended cab. I would like the arm rest to be about 5 inches taller, I was going to add decent cup holders since the ones above the glove box don't hold a 20 oz bottle of soda. I am also goig to mount my CB there.
I thought while I was at it I could put a subwoofer in there. My idea is to mount a Bazooka tube facing to thr rear and build around it. My question is, how do bazookas sound? It would either be the 6.5" or the 8" if I can make the 8 fit. I have never heard a bazooka tube and have no idea how they sound. IS there a company that makes a good 6.5 sub. I can get a tube with a cheap sub for $20 and upgrade to a better sub if I can find one.
Any thoughts?

Do a search, I remember a couple of people building downfiring center console sub boxes for a 10" sub, one even had the cupholders you talked about. Check out boatersworld.com or a marine parts store for the cup holders, they come in white and black. I installed a couple in my boat's engine cover last year. They look big enough for a 20 oz soda, but I haven't tried it.
If your building a center console why build around a bakooka tube, just make a portion of the center console a sealed encolsure for the sub.

That was my first idea but not down-firing. Wouldn't I lose a lot of my sound that way? Also, I'm not sure a 10" would fit. I think I only measured 9" or so between the seats. I'll have to measure again.
Regarding the tool tray, I tried to pull them out but I got one nut on each side off and then the other one just spins. Do I need someone under the truck holding the other end?

If I build a downfiring sealed box w/ 2 10"s, should I seperate the subs or just have one chamber?

If the subs are running off a bridged or mono amp it can be a common open chamber, if running them off seperate amp channels put the subs in 2 seperate chambers. I would personally make seperate chambers so no matter what the configuration it will be OK.

you need seperate chambers for each sub (hopefully with similar volume) it will sound better this way and put less stress on the woofers.
