it all depends on what kind of sub it is...audiobahn should give dimentions on a website...is it going to be sealed?..ported?

personally i would have bought a JL W7..we just put 2 12's in my friends explorer with 2 rockford 1500 watt...yea it hurts...with the one sub i think we ran at 143db...for one sub thats amazing for one sub if anyone knows about subs and car steros

..but yea the box dimensions make a huge difference on the sound of the sub

you can make the box any shape you want but you need to make sure the cubic feet is what you need.


goto www.sounddomain.com and look there for their boxes. i dont know if they sell them for single cab or not though.

Not to flame, but didn't you think of size issures prior to ordering? I'm helping a buddy with an install - he has 2 10"s in an F150 single cab. Fitting those 10s is going to be hard enough, I have no idea how you plan to fit a 15 in there. Good luck.

EXACTLY....I want to see a pic of this if you get it figured out. I have a single cab F150 now and I have no subs due to space

i have a friend who has a f150 regular cab(if thats what a single cab is??), and he had a box with 2 10" subs in it...it just barely fit, and the seat was all the way to the front, very uncomfortable but it fit...he also put a block of wood(maybe 3-4") from the back of the seat to hold the subwoofer box....really jimmy-rigged, but it worked, he just never was able to mount his amp, so it always had problems with cutting out and stuff.....he says its a Ford truck box, so i would say get one that matches your truck if you can....

LOL you better check your install. I had 2 old audiobahn 12's and they're about the same as a Solobaric with a good install. Ported boxes are the way to go with either sub to get loud. Install is everything and if your install isn't good your whole set up will sound like anus.

On the 15" sub in the regular cab truck. I didn't see if you had a bench or not but if you have 2 buckets the best thing to do would be to pull the center counsel out and make a fiberglass mold. Run the 15 in the center and out of the console. If you have a bench it's not going to be as easy but can be done. One thing to make sure of is when you get it installed make sure your seat isn't pressed right up against that bahn. They like to get hot real fast and need all the venting possible.

well i asked my dealer before i ordered and they assured me i they could fit it and i have a wood shop so i figured i would give it a shot. i know itll fit, but i dont know if im good enough with wood to get the angles and everything right. next summer i may get 2 more 15's and bring them in from my bed into the cab with the box in the bed, cause i already have a tonneau cover. thanks. lata
