stiffler style

great videos!

Edit* nevermind. I totally misread.

Not to thread jack, but no need to start another thread. Is the Kenwood KIV-701 active capable? Thanks

Update: I've been piecing together the box during my free time between classes. The inside port wall is not easy to install without doing a little damage to the kerfed edges. I had to do a little work on it to clean it up after the install. I just painted it (some is still wet in the picture). Also, shitty Iphone camera. http://i.imgur.com/5OLPZ.jpg I have yet to cut the inside mounting hole, mount the front faceplate and the top piece.

Hi, I would like some thoughts on my box design. From what I've calculated, the numbers work. I'm tuning to 35 hz. The colors are to distinguish the different panels. Also, please disregard the different thickness of the walls. I didn't want to have to build the box again just to make the thickness right. The curved corners are to represent where I will kerf. http://i.imgur.com/01zoy.png It is 15" x 22" x 16"(outside). Thanks

Thanks for the input! I went ahead and did the inner piece of the vent. This was my first time kerfing and although I had to do some filing on the edges of the cuts, the piece looks pretty good. I'm confident the outside kerfing will be much easier so I'm going to go ahead with the design. I wish I did the baffles the way you two proposed. I jumped the gun on that one. I'll be taking some pictures of the progress tomorrow.

Edit* I don't know what I did, but the correct outside measurements are 26 3/4" x 16 1/2" x 15"

very interested in these as a replacement for my door speakers. Any further updates?

The link works. I'm on a mac so I'll have to download it on my windows desktop for it to work. Thanks for the help!

Hi, I'm new but a long time lurker of this board. I've finally decided to purchase a sa-12 and add a subwoofer to my car. (Bmw E46 Sedan) Before I purchase, I would like to get the box sorted out. I've been using some different calculators and various threads from this board to figure out how I should build the box. I have the whole trunk to use so no space constraints. The sa-12 says 1.75-2 cubic feet which leaves very little to no room for a port. I want to tune to 35 hz. I looked into maybe one 6" aero port, but it would be a stretch to get a 2 cubic foot box to fit the sub and the port which would be 14-16" long. Any help or suggestions? Would a passive radiator be more doable? thanks in advance

I have plenty of time as I'm a college student so I don't mind doing the kerfing if there is going to be a more than negligible benefit from it. I was planning on using 45's in the corners I'm not kerfing as well. Thank you for the amp suggestions. Greatly appreciated. Where would you suggest I check my math? Such as an online calculator of some sort for this application. I'd love to build one great box rather than two crappy ones. Edit* I found a calc on carstereo.com however I have some questions. Which measurements do I use to find the internal volume? I'm using the design StreetLegal posted in the thread he linked. Do I use the 22 1/8 x 11 5/8 x 13 1/2 and the rest is considered port area? If that is correct than the 33.96" port length I'm getting is about perfect with what is already laid out. What happens if the port length is too long or too short?

When I looked, the sax-1200d was out of stock for whatever reason on this website. While I look for one in stock somewhere else, what other amps would you recommend to be comparable and useful for my situation; possibly less costly? Also, after doing some sketches and what not for the box build, I think I should kerf the back two corners along with the inside wall of the vent. Is that going to be unnecessary and more time consuming than useful? Thanks for all the help

Thanks for the help guys. I'm going to design the box StreetLegal posted and see how it goes. Would one SAX-1200D be overkill for powering one SA-12? Also, from what I read on bmw forums, the bass is much more prevalent when the rear deck speakers are removed.

40oz, Would you mind telling me the dimensions of your box? I like the idea of aero ports as I had a lot of port noise with the last sub box I built, however, I'm sure I built a subpar box at that time. Where were the ports placed in comparison to the subwoofer? I would be placing the box in my trunk, however I am removing the rear deck speakers which would open up the holes to the trunk. Thanks!
