Cool, I'll be ordering one this weekend. Thanks Jake!

Hey Hunter,

I've been scarce as of late, but I just saw your post in my audio rebuild thread. I think you posted it about two months ago.


Yeah I love my FoxBox. It's fits perfectly and adds a perfect amount of bass for me. I don't go for head-rattling or window-shattering.....but it does get strong when I need it to. It's more about low-end fill for me.


I'll try to get a few pictures for you...




Nice truck, btw!!







edit:

I'd guess it sticks out 1-1.5" from the seats. Mine sticks out a bit farther because I have about 3/4" worth of sound deadening on the floor. I can't get it all the way back.

it's cool bro

I'm not wantin blow your ear drums out bass, just a nice little thump that you can hear. What size subwoofers are you runnin?

 

[mblouir]

It holds two 10" subs. IIRC I'm running JL 10W3v3s. Reason being there is only 6-1/8" mounting depth for the subs, so you have to find some decent ones that will fit.

 

[KillaF150]

That's about what I'm looking for. I'm not too worried about it sticking out from under the seat reason being I don't ever have passengers that ride in the back. How do you like the JL's? I'm tryin to find some decent priced subs without going bankrupt

 

[mblouir]

I love 'em, man. They aren't top end ($$$) by any means, but they are perfect. I have a feeling you'd be more than satisfied with them.

 

[KillaF150]

Awesome. So if I I were to get those, would going with 2 ohms be worth the extra $$?

 

[mblouir]

Dang dude, tough question. It's been about two years since I did the research on all that.


IIRC it's best to match your amp's output impedance to the total output of the subs. I believe my amp was rated at both 2 and 4-ohms, so I went with the 2-ohm subs. Since the Fox Box runs them in series, the total output of two 2-ohm subs is 4-ohms. Matched the subs to the amp.

 

[KillaF150]

The 2ohm sub is rated at 500w RMS; 4ohm is 300w. I'm wantin to get a Double-Din touchscreen headunit before I go adding components and subs. But I wanna get an idea of what I want first so I can save myself the headache of doin it later.

 

[mblouir]

I hear you. I think the 2ohm sub is worth it. I believe the reason I went with the 2ohm is because there are a lot more options for amplifiers @ 4ohms.
