Oops, never mind. I was under the impression that these were going in an ext. cab truck.,,,,98

 

What is the mounting depth of the sub?

 

My mounting depth is 5-5/16 inches. Is that how far it has to be from the back of the box or how far the driver sticks out inside the box?

 

That's how far the sub extends into the box. If it was the other way around, I think a lot less of us would have subs,,,,98

Is there a general rule for how much space you need behind the magnet so it doesn't hit the back of the box. Anyone know.

 

Isn't there anyone out there that makes a box for a regular cab ' THAT WORKS ' and won't rape you on the cost - I am NOT NOT NOT paying loads of money for this - I just won't have F'in subs F' it ...

 

That what i am talkin bout. I really like doing things myself though. As you can see by this post i ask alot of questions because I usually make mistakes. Can anyone answer my question though. About how you determine if the magnet will hit the back of the box. That would be a big help.

 

sonichog, I see your location says "The Land of Nod"? You wouldn't happen to be a Tom Waits fan would you? Just Curious,,,,98

 

I'm pretty sure you need to have the back of the magnet double the distance of the vent hole size in the voice coil from the back of the box...

 

Thanks.

 

2 Trucks, would any of those Element Subs work in a Thunderform Box?

 

I don't know, they just came out with a new line of products & they haven't posted the mounting depth of the new subs.

 

I built my first speaker box today for one of my 12s. After three attempts i finally have one that will fit behind my seat. It is alot harder than i ever thought. I still have one more to build. I sealed it with one whole calk tube of liquid nail. It hits really hard. I must say I know have alot more respect for people like Rt Killa, who build boxes therselves. It isn't easy to do.

 

Did you mount it inverted? Show us some pics!
