    I just locked in an ARB bumper for my 2012, #33 out of 35 available to the supplier.

    A XD9000 winch is ordered as well and both will go on at the same time.

    I got a couple Infinity's back there too. I think it sounds better, but someone on here told me it's a waste of money. I disagree and love my sound right now.

    it sounded good when I first fired it up, took measurements for time correction and it sounds awesome. at high volume I get a little bit of port noise, gonna make a sealed box when I have time.

    I got a subthump, it's a sealed down firing type. Sounds good to me. Whats the timing thing about? I just had a pro do my system.

    you measure from the driver's ear to each speaker, plug the measurements into alpine's i-personalize feature, load the specs on to the head unit with a flash drive, and it tunes the system to the vehicle.

    i-personalize is an alpine thing, I believe some other manufacturers head units have time correction, not sure about pioneer.

    4 Wheel parts in El Paso, who is the only ARB dealer in the area.

    They didn't even know they were available, until I told him I learned about a shipment on TW.

    He called the main supply and they had three left out of 35 available and they were going fast.

    I should have it by the first week of January.

    Winch, lights, and bumper, plus installation came in at 3K.

    I plan on shooting the installation process and I'll also take it out to the desert and shoot another sequence from many angles, probably the day it's finished and post to TW in the ARB thread.

    While I've installed everything else on my truck, I just don't feel like doing the bumper.

    Try speaker forward and port up.....won't get rid of the noise but you probably won't hear it as much as the airflow will not be directed towards you in the front......orrrr you could do speaker up port firing left or right.....or downforce with legs on the box and port to either side......pretty much any way but the way it is should sound a little better! Ported vs sealed is def the way to go though!! Let us know how it turns out!!
