    Unfortuantely building a box for the MAW's had been put on the back burners by some other projects I've been spending my time on.... bu I'm back in the planing mode :)

    I just did up some plans for a 2.5cf ported box with 54sq" of area tuned to ~35hz. Now I just have to go see if the box will fit into my trunk lol.

    I'd like to see how you are powering your Saturn engine with the MTX :P

    If you really want to get technical, the box, not the car, would be powered by the MTX :P;)

    *shudders from memories of linguistics class*

    I was thinking of a PR instead of a port actually... but I'd have to do some real good measuring to see if I can squeeze 2.5cf in the trunk... I'd really like to do 3cf net instead of 2.5cf though.

    Damm lol

    I wasn't going to let the cat out of the bag until I had a box built, but since I'm at the risk of spamming with my 133 posts (vs. 289) I'll drop some details:

    The box will probably be made out of plywood to keep weight down, and will *probably* be a sealed box. It'll be going into my 95 saturn sedan that I'm building a new engine for (literally), and will probably be powered by an MTX 2150x, that should drop ~400 watts RMS @ 4ohms bridged.

    I'd like to build a nice fibreglassed amp rack, but I don't think I'll pull that off this year.

    I don't think I have enough space in my trunk to run a ported setup either, which is what I'd really like to do.

    I think if you run them in a bandpass range rom 40-50hz to 80-120hz they'd do pretty decent.

    You shouldn't need more than ~50 watts RMS a piece to get them into overexcursion with that setup.

    I'd recommend running 4 of them if possible. Your can get your fronts to help out with bass a little bit too.

    so wait? You are getting RFs now?

    yea...i mean, i wanted to go 18 an i have been braggin around skewl, "i am gonna get 18's!!" but when i realized, i had no idea of what they would sound like, (had a bad experience with cheapy woofers once, meaning <$200) i began looking around and found the 1000w p3 15's for $129, just a bit more than i was wanting to pay, i said what the hey, i trust my bro, no offense to you awesome people here at SSA, in his decision. i mean, they look good, those mj's, but by the time i am getting 18's, i will have a decent job, and will probably just save for LMS-Ultra's (BTW how many 18's could i cram into a '99 VW beetle? screw the backseat, i dont mind taking it out) i hate t ohave wasted yer times but i am a little apprehensive about a brand i have never heard of. thank you for understanding,

    sincerely,

    Haha the P3's are trash. Go look up some tests/reviews on them from people who actually know what they're talking about.

    The MJ's have astounding value, put out the bass and handle the power.... but it's not a big name brand.

    I'd recommend at least 150sqcm of port area. The squarer the port the better though, so though you can make the port the full height of your box (a usable 310mm assuming 20mm thick wood, for example) and ~4.8cm wide (31cm tall), you'd be a lot better off making it 20cm tall and 7.5cm wide.

    If you do go with a full height slot port, go with 200sqcm of port area IMO.
