Just because the internet for some reason likes to see reels of subs moving. And yes, this is rear fired for a 21+ Ford F Series, 2.5” Seatlift.

When you get into subwoofers with a lot of power, xmax, and strong motor force, acoustical energy becomes a very real factor. The enclosure has to be able to handle that energy without excessive flex or resonance. When enclosure panels flex, it puts additional stress on joints and hurts overall performance, leading to output loss and reduced efficiency.

This build is a simple but properly engineered ported enclosure for 2 15” Kicker SoloX 15 subs. The client didn’t want the added weight that comes with 1” Baltic/MDf or double laminated walls, so instead I focused heavily on internal bracing to keep the enclosure rigid and controlled.

We all know kickers love their air volume, 10.25 ft3 tuned to 34hz. Clean, strong, and built to stay musical while handling serious power, allowing for an enclosure capable of doing 150db+ with ease.

Finished this ported enclosure for a 2023
F-350. 2.7 ft3 tuned to 32Hz, 2.5” Seatlift. From what I’ve seen, rear fired subs have been done plenty of times in these trucks, but I believe this is the first one utilizing 3 Solo X 8’s.

Kept it simple and clean without the bells & whistles; but added small details to give it character while still matching the OEM interior so it looks like it belongs.
Custom acrylic side inserts, a front kick panel since that’s most likely the area to be kicked.

My theory on rear firing after some R&D; Better cabin loading, Allows deeper subs, Protects the cones. Downfire/upfire sound great, but one eats up volume, both are limited on depth and cone clearance.

In this truck, rear fire just made the most sense. Although it took me hours to design. Once it’s in the truck, I’m going to change a few things for the next one but I will be posting what this setup does on Term Lab on music not over powered. (what it truly does for the average daily driver at normal power) and its bandwidth.
