Alright, I do not want to get rid of my 2 Arc 8's, they are beasts in their own right, but I am suffering in the 20-40Hz range. Right now they are sealed in a 0.73 cubic foot enclosure receiving 200 watts each.

Can anyone model up the Arcs and figure out a ported enclosure size possibly smaller than recommended and tuning frequency that would work for these. Please keep it as small as possible, I don't have much room. Thanks!

Heres the specs....

Impedance :
2 or 8 ohm

Resonant frequency :
24.7Hz

Sensitivity :
85.6 db

RMS power handling :
150 watts

Electrical "Q" :
.367

Mechanical "Q" :
3.572

Total "Q" :
.332

Equivalent volume:
1.55

One way linear:
15 mm

Mounting depth :
4.75"

Optimum sealed enclosure :
.35 cuft

Ported enclosure :
.6 cuft

You want lowend. It is hard to do so with a very small box. Their recommended enclosure size seems like it's pretty ideal, although I'd maybe make the port slightly larger. You have a supercab F-150. You should have plenty of room back there...
