Wondering what everyone is running in their explorers. I've heard a lot about firing the subs to the side with the ports back, has anyone tried this? Has anyone tried a SS1-2NW setup as well?

waggy always uses small as boxes. Just build the box over the window line, there is a ton of room in most explorers. Subs up port back works in them.

The way I have mine setup right now is for street A, I am thinking of running street C or SS1-2NW next year. I would really like to try the no wall setup but not sure if it will be loud enough. Has anyone tried this in an explorer or similar vehicle?

Mike - you have a good idea so far..

Just use flared ports, you will not regret it!

thats the next step, I think my main issue is I don't have enough power!!

Indeed. A friend and I used subs up / ports back in his Explorer. While it was not for competition use specifically he did meter at 154 @ ~35 Hz on an AC mic with that setup consisting of 2x SI Mag D2 15s (first gen 15s, older TC build) and MA Audio MA5082HX Amplifier (current hog Class-A/B unit). This was several years ago before I had my own Termlab mic

Seemed to work really well in that vehicle.

The box I have now is about 3 cubic feet common chamber 2 10" firing up with three 4" round ports 13" long external. I'm hitting low 140's on the TL with 1100w. I know that the amp is holding me back but I can't afford anything bigger right now, so I am kinda limited to box design at the moment.

Mike,

What subs are you using? That might help regarding advise on optimum enclosure sizing and tuning.

Poweracoustik FUBAR 10's, not the best, but they do alright
