Guess I can add to this. Purchased a 12" Icon and it was packed damn well! Shipped fast and he was pleasant to deal with. Wouldn't hesitate to buy anything he's selling.

I can't believe the patience that you guys have shown this guy. Glad you did because reading all this crap I've learned a lot and decided active may not be for me right now either. I'll keep playing with components until I find something I don't like about them.

That's gorgeous

Smd amp line? Oh boy

I wish the ssa tech team would get together and publish something. The knowledge those guys spread around here is incredible. I would buy it no doubt.

Your enclosures are some of the best I've seen. Love seeing your work.

Have a 12" icon showing up soon and would like to get an enclosure ready for it. I've been using the bitpusher site to help me calculate the box. This is what I have so far Now I prefer to use a Single 4" precision port. I'm unsure how to calculate the entire port area I have with this setup. Reading through past threads and SSA's recommended 2.25 cu ft tuned in the low 30s. Also saw in a thread that for that size box I should aim for around 35 sq in of port. Pi * r * r doesn't calculate the length? Missing something somewhere maybe someone can help. Is a single 4" aero going to give me enough port area? Anything you see wrong here? One other thing. Going off the picture I posted of the calculator. Would me entered measurements be outside measurements? When I draw out the box I want those for the outside dimensions so subtract the 3/4?

Does anyone see a reason not to use the BL enclosure for an icon? Only thing I see is the volume is slightly higher. 2.25 vs 2.4 which I don't see making a huge difference? Size wise it fits the vehicle and port area seems to be about what I'm wanting. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/44519-bl-box-cut-sheets/

Your right. Now to determine port area would I just multiply opening width by height? In this case of the bl enclosure it's 3" wide port x 12" height so it would have 36 sq in of port? Is that correct?

oh boy. scratch that. 15" height was a bad guess. i measured and i have a max height of 13.5". going to need to work on getting something together. thanks for your assistance. This thread is about done as aero ports wont be used.

looks like the pre design will work just fine. at a height of 14 1/2" it WILL work for my vehicle. problem solved. Thank you Lith!

My thoughts exactly. A 6 isn't quite enough either and 2 6's is over too much. Hmm

Slot port is possible too at this point just never used an aero and I think it looks better. Dumbass me already ordered a. 4" precision port kit from PE. Not a big deal if I go with a slot port. I can find a home for it. Should have held off and asked questions first lol.

I didn't download the file yet. Would need to boot up PC. I'm assuming the pre designed won't work for me as I'm height restricted at about 15". So port length determines tuning and I'm basically after just pi r squared to get the 35 sqin I'm looking for? Think I'll need more than 2 4" aeros then huh?

I'm jealous. Wish I had a brand new n2 lol.

Brand spankin new basket. I thought they all came like that. Shouldn't be sketchy.

It's been some years but when I bought my btl you had to poke the holes through. Should be like half ass stamped or something if I remember right

It's gonna hurt me a little when they do sale. This is a thread I keep revisiting but can't seem to talk myself into it right now.

I had a cheap ass zapco component set cut out just as your describing. Turned the amp down, messed with it for quite a while and realized I just bought a shitty comp set. I couldn't get the volume out of them I wanted without it cutting out. My advice is listen to the advice given. The more detailed you can be with what you want from your speakers the better help your going to get.

Price?

I need a match for my UFO 18 also. Hmmm.

I don't run a 3 way active setup and love the hell out of my 80prs. Love being able to control things.

Nice looking box

Nice senchez
