I just ordered a pair of P3 12s a 4th order slot ported bandpass box a Class D 1 ohm stable Power Acoustik 1800 watt mono amp, and a 1.2 Farad Capacitor for a friend of mine. It's going in a 2000 extra cab S10 pickup. He wants a hard hiting system. He also bought a second amp,head unit,mids and highs. What do you guys think?

amp

speaker

that box will prolly sound like poo in an xcab s10.... Sealed down-firing is about the only thing that works in a small truck, imho.

I've done 2 installs in tacoma xcabs, and one in an s10 xcab, and sealed is the way to go... Downfiring, specifically. You can get sheets of Birch at Home Depot for a good price, and make the box yourself.

The box was dirt cheap! Only $40.99 plus shipping. If it doesn't sound good I'll order another one.

as i always say, how it sounds is dependant ont he listener, being a installer has taught me that i need to follow the taste of the customer, instead of my self smile.gif

so...if the need is bass heavy with lots of boom, then you are probably right onw ith your set up smile.gif

in anycase, the only real why to find out if its good or not is to hook it up and see smile.gif
