Default Upgrading Sound System....

Well I'm a bass addict, and that is a good thing to be addicted to...Anyways, right now I'm running 2 Rockford Fosgate p2d410's and they do sound damn good, those are run by my RF 550.2 amp, and a cap. but, I always want more..So I am going to be adding another p2d410, and a Rockford Fosgate BD-1000 amp. The thing is that, I have only found 1 box that will hold 3 10's for my RC, and it is still a sealed incloser, I would love to have a vented box in it. Does anyone have any clue if they make anything like that? Here is a pic of my box, and the new box, and amp.

And here is a vid of the system, bear with me, this vid was taken 1: before my new exhaust, just skip to about 1:10 or so, and 2: before my level kit was put on, and correction, its not near 1800 watts like I say, that is what the amp can do, I was misinformed! LOL!

im not sure that you have enough room behind the seat for a vented box. you are goint to need a huge box for three subs, maybe two though could work
id say just go ahead and get that box for three subs, i rarely see anyone with more than two subs, let alone in a reg cab. it will look good. then when youre done, you can hook me up with your old box

Haha, thanks man...I remember you wanting some pics of the system, I guess a vid does a little more justice. I will order this I think first thing on monday next week, I just bought a short black antenna tonight for the truck, I dont like the long antennas! haha, anyways, hey man, if you really want a box, I'm your guy, it'll prob cost more in shipping than what i would sell it to you for! lol! Or, we could just meet halfway in Texas somewhere and I'll just give it to ya

room is going to be the big problem. vented boxes are very complicated and it's even worse in a cramped space you'd be really hard pressed to create a port that is of enough area/lenght and of a shape that will properly conduct air without port noise. stick with sealed and you'll be fine. or put a cover on the bed and do a blow through and then have all the damn fun you want.

Ive also been looking for a shorty antenna but cant find a real short one. What did you get. and on the sub i have a friend who has two boxes like yours stacked with 4 mtx 10s in each. It is way LOUD even though they is not much room.

I hate to sound like an ***, but I'll do it anyways. Why fosgate components?
And personally, if you have the time and the skillz necessary for carpentry, why not build your own box to fit?
