    Sorry I was referring to a round over plate for the port, that would just screw onto the box externally and eliminate that sharp edge and look cool. Maybe you could do that in blue as well.

    If those are 6 in pvc ports, how much port area does that give you, around 56-57 sq inches? and also whats recomended for the rl-p 18?

    Also what the box height exactly?

    sorry for all the questions lol

    I see what your saying. That can still be an option, lol. The box is 16"T-38"W-20"D. I have 56sq" of port area. Make @ SS recomends at least 50"-60" for the 18".

    Nice work, if you were me I would have beefed it up with another layer in the baffle and added some more bracing as well.

    Thx, it's got more bracing inside that I didn't get pix of. I just took the pix of that one since it also was holding the ports in place. Not to mention the 2nd baffle. fing05.gif

    Well I'm finally going to use it, lol. The box is 5.2cubes net tuned to 34hz.

    I have one of each (amp & sub stated in the title), and I'm trying to figure out which amp/sub combo would be best. The 18" will be in a ported box. 5.2 net tuned to 34hz, and the 15" will be 3.4 net tuned to 34hz as well. What's your take on this? Thx, Vic. :thanx:

    I have had an array of Sound Splinter subs. 18"s, 15", 12", 8", and all of them were (are) fantastic. I'm not kissing ass (although it kinda does sound like it, lol), but I'm am being honest when I say that I will not run anything else. I had 2 15"s in a ported box (2.5 ea @ 34hz) with roughly 1300rms going to each. Output was awesome as well as the SQ. Just to give you an idea. My last numbers with that set-up was a 153.9 legal at the dash, and that was my daily truck, lol. I currently have 2 RL-i 8"s in my wife's car running of a Directed 1500d. Their getting around 600rms each, and loving every minute of it. I'm getting ready to build a box for the 1 18" I have, and I'll let you know how that goes. fing05.gif The only one's I had sealed were in fact the 2 12"s. I had them in a 3cube net box getting about 800ea, and the SQ was second to none.

    I'm on the list for a pr. of Rli-8's and was looking at a US amps XT4000D xTERMINATOR to power them. I'm gonna have to ditch my Memphis 500.1 but it was only temporary anyhow. Whaddaya think. It can be had for 250 on fleabay.

    My pockets aren't much deeper than that either.

    Thoughts...........? :ughdunno:

    If you keep it turned down low, you'll be ok with it. I have 2 running off a Directed 1500d in a ported box, and thay sound awsome.

    Wow. I have more port area for a single 8 than you do for a pair and would encourage more.
    Yup, that's why I'll be rebuilding the box, lol. This box started off as a sealed box. But porting it got me from 135.8 to 139.6. It's basically going to be the same design, but I'm going to make the box deeper & face the ports up. Remember, this is the wife's car. So I'm not going crazy with it. Just getting it to the point that the subs will be fine & function properly.

    I've got 2 ported in the wife's car.

    Can you share the design?

    I'll be rebuilding it to use 2 3" aeroports. This one is

    16"T-24"W-6"D1-10"D2

    The port is on the side, firing towards the amp. It's roughly 1cube (after displacement of subs & port) tuned to 35hz.

    Noted in another thread on the subject:
    As these drivers offer a relatively small cone size, I like to suggest a slightly larger sealed box in order to help beef up the overall output and low-frequency extension. On the ported box, this is not necessary and in order to maintain a flat frequency response, that is why you see a smaller net volume recommendation.

    Apologies for the untimely reply! Spent a week in Oregon visiting my mother, sisters, nieces and nephews, and have been scramblin' to catch up this week. But I'm back, and as always - the quickest direct response will be had through email, though I will do my best to stop by these sweet digs as time permits!

    I may just amend the recommendation to state 0.4 cu ft net volume, as really anywhere just under and up to 0.5 cu ft net volume will suit this driver quite well. Sealed boxes are indeed quite forgiving to minor variances in construction.

    Thank you for the reply. I did end up porting the box (1.2cubes @35hz) to get a 139.6 at the dash with the 2 8"s. :woot:
