Suggestions for S10????

Looking for any suggestions for Chevy S10. Size of speakers and quantity? which way to face box or subs? frequency? slot ports or aero ports?I will take any thing. I am competing in SPL and Streetbeat.

wow...dont u just want everything handed to ya...

I am actually pretty good at teaching myself. i have been running a little 4/25 watt amp with 4 subs total cost of less than 400$(2 JL w1s and two Cheapest memphis ya can find). I might not be setting world records but that is the goal. I guess I could buy a CRX and some kickers just like everyone else.

but thanks for your input. Mr. Aphinney

Here's what I have been told and been doing this year. 3-15" subs all the way across facing forward for Outlaw. Big slot port across the back. Lots of power, test, test, test, and test some more. S-10's tune from 56 hz to 71 hz depending on the year. That's about all I know about them. If doing sealed on the dash, have to change box configuration to get the most out of it. Supposedly dynamat can help or hurt you.

well first off go buy a rex and u will find out that they are not magic...it takes alot of time to get them loud..cause yes i do have one..

AND OH YEA...we do have the loudest s-10 truck ever...the loudest prostock number ever done...

AND YES IT IS IN A S-10....

so keep dreaming of that 50...

3 15s forward...slot port up .... that will help ya get to your 50

X2 not easy, no magic

2-15's and a slot are good for 50's, we are hoping to get a little higher than that, if I can find some batteries laying around the shop.

What numbers have you done aphinney? Not trying to start anything, just curious. I've seen you on here for a few years, hopefully we can meet at finals or db steve's 300th show.

in chris's s-10 we are doin 163.9 in 3000+, 163+ in 1800-3000 and a 161+ in 601-1800

in 0-600 all i have shown was a 155.7

not goin to be at steves now since we got all of our points so...we arent goin to show anything till finals..so i will see ya there bro..

Hopefully that will help. right now i was facing them up with the slot port up on drivers side. I am tuned at 52 so I will def. try them forward with slot facing up. Thanks to all so far!!!

Sorry if seemed upset aphinney just looking for suggestions. And I agree getting above 55 is def. not easy. let alone 60!!! thats just nuts!!!

might be checking out for two days to go to lake but will check back Thurs. night.

Those are some sick numbers man!!! And everyone thinks you need a rex to get loud. Much props man. I can guess what you are capable of in 0-600, if there are bets on finals my money is definately on you!!

well thanks to all for hints and suggestions.....havent had a reply in a while does anyone know how to delete this????

2 15's subs forward port up accrosed the back of the box netted 151.2 or something fornicate i wish i remembered at 71 hz on 1900 watts stock alt and 1 group 34 yellow top.. outlaw.

all imma say is make the box as big as u can.

yup, i would say 2-3 15s, or 4 12s firing forward and ported up...

Damn Phinney. I have a feeling your a little sore with the guy. And it was a 160.7 in 601-1800 prostock. But you can round up cause it was definatly capable.. But have to ask..This guy must have said Rex's are easy or S-10 are easy somewhere . This is what i got from this anyway. Now get busy and ready for finals BIRTHDAY BOY. I owe you some swats.. hehe

Yes, but that CRX you have was 4 dB louder than my truck with less power. Also 7 years of work in my S10 and about 3 days of work in that CRX. Not MAGIC, but there are a lot more proven designs.

We did 3 days worth of work in your style S10 3yrs ago and did a 160.7

With over 16,000 watts of power (8 bd1500s on 16V). The CRX did 159s with about 5,000 watts of power and $250 woofers (not Kicker), and was 0.3 dB behind Josh with 4 amps on 3 12V batteries. I've had boxes just like Josh's in my truck with less woofer and/or power and they've never done anywhere near that number (mid to high 155 with 6,000 watts). I actually went over and helped him build that box one night with Kevin when you guys were unavailable. My truck may just be weird (3rd door vs. non 3rd door).

Moral of the story -- if you know what you're doing, you can get loud in very few days. If you don't, well it will take a while, and be ready to test, test, test. All these ideas are good starting points, but it takes time and several sheets of wood before you get really loud.

Well said.

I think its just in my blood.

Then I need some of your blood in my car. Might help get me louder!

I use a s-10 pick up with a cut through in 04 it did 157's on the glass DB Drag style with 2 15s all under the window lines, it peaked at 57 hz was about half the bed with the 2 15s shoved on the passenger side large slot port on the driver side
