I'm getting a 15" Alpine Type R sub-woofer for my '83 Mercedes 300D. Is this a good box to get? I'm putting the sub in the trunk, and will be moving i

Make sure the specs for the alpine match the I'm dimensions of the box. The quality of the box is beret than average

No this is not enough air space for alpine u need to buy regal box not truck

Yes! This would be an excellent box for it. This is one serious sub box, I love it and gives off clean low bass.

The box has about 1.5 cubic feet per chamber. If the sub specifically states that it needs more air space than that then no. But with most 15 in subwoofers they need between 1 to 3 cubic feet per sub, and most can get away with 1.5 cubic feet. So in my opinion they would fit just fine

Hey Matt, I bought a box that was made for my challenger on amazon that was awesome. The speakers are bad ass for the price. I like em alot. They sound as good as all the expensive brands, and that is normally what you get from "Im the shit right now brands" Hope this helps

I have a 1500 and got the R/T Dual 10-inch Chevy extended cab sealed speaker box and it has been awesome. Push a lot of watts thru 2 kickers and its held up good for a year to this point.

I was unimpressed by it, honestly. You would definitely have better sound by purchasing a cheap Pioneer or Sony 6 or 8" subwoofer from walmart and building a custom box (1/2" MDF optimal)...cheaper and only takes ~1 hour max (added time for sealant to dry); this is what I did for the 12" subwoofers in my truck and the 8" subwoofer I have for my living room stereo. So I say don't go for it unless you have "loose" wooden floors and a good enclosed corner to place the main unit so that the acoustics of the subwoofer will be 'naturally' amplified.

I have always had sealed enclosures for my subs in the past and I bought a ported for the w7 and I was not disappointed. There is a guy on eBay that sells custom w7 enclosures but they are pretty expensive. That's who I bought mine from. Since this sub already has great SQ, I think you should go ported to max out your sound. Make sure the box you buy is Jl specs because I have read if it's not, it might not sound the best

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about hooking the sub through to the main speaker outs and then to the L/R fronts. I guess that would be pushing it quite a bit. Thanks for the tips on the powered sub. At $80, I can't really go wrong. One last thing: If I wanted to forgo the rear speakers, could the sub be hooked up to the surround outs or am I letting my complete ignorance show here? Thanks again.

It's a good sub I would recommend putting it in a enclosed box not vented though. Also so far I've had to replace mine every year cause the voice coil goes out in it and flips the protection on the amp.

Keep in mind its not a 15" subwoofer, its as deep as it will go for its size : ]

I put one of these subs in my fiances civic and it is receiving 125w @4ohms. It is perfect for a small vehicle and would sound great in a truck if it fits. The box is quite small so I imagine it will do the job. JL RULES!!!

Great sub-woofer. Just compare the specs from the model you are referring to. Not sure exactly what you mean by classic? there are many versions. For example, in this present time this model you are looking at is now an older version and kicker now has newer versions that handle a bit more RMS Watts

Yes. According to the specs from Parts-express. As long as your sub can handle the power you should be fine. I replaced my plate amplifier years ago and it has sounded better than the original PSB and never given me 1 second of problems. If I were building a sub there is no other amplifier I would choose. The most problematic area on installation is the mounting. After that just pure clean bass that is deep and smooth. 300 watts RMS @ 0.5% THD into 4 ohm load * Signal to noise ratio: 105 dB (A-weighted) * Dimensions: 11" W x 7" H x 4" D * Cabinet cutout: 10" x 6-1/4" * Line-in and high-level in crossovers: Adjustable 50 to 150 Hz, 12 dB/octave low-pass crossover, and a fixed 330 Hz, 12 dB/octave low-pass crossover * LFE-in crossover: Fixed 330 Hz, 12 dB/octave low-pass crossover

I got 1 of these and it hits pretty hard with my BOSS amp. If u are looking for trunk shaking i would go with 2 and get a 2 channel amp. Ported box is what u want

Depends on what P3 version you have, if you have something like P3D2 then you will SLAM on with this box. If its one of those shallow subs then no too big for the box. This is the box you would want to use with competition subs that have larger magnets and stronger coils. 2 inch coils. this box works really nice with 2ohm and 1ohm loads. If its spl your looking for, then spl you will have. This box will provide the best low end bass that other boxes don't provide. I have been told with my old setup that had this box, i could be heard 4 blocks down the road.

Not sure if it will fit in ur car. I bought this box for a friend an he has a Honda Accord and it's a little sideways in the trunk. I got these subs in my car in a sealed box and there crazy loud. They recommend ported but I got them sealed and they sound tight and crisp. Have a 1000 watt amp on them. Ot sure about jl but u can't go wrong with these. I pound these things. They can handle it

if your asking for the exact measurement, I cant answer since my woofers are installed. but of course any round 15inch sub will fit. I wouldn't worry about the exact specs on the hole. I only have 500rms kicker cvr woofers in my 4 15lsv boxes each one receiving 400-450rms. ive heard bad reports of ppl installing super woofers in these boxes(1000-2500rms) and the boxes slowly falling apart. however all 4 of my boxes are rock solid, no evidence of any low build quality.
