I want to run 750 watts rms to each sub. does any one have any ported box desings that would fit this sub that i could have? or the size of the box and port, and tuning frequence? thanx in advancewell, mike suggests between 1.5-2ft^3 per sub with a minimum of 20in^2 of port per sub and a vent fb of 34hz.with 750wrms, i'd suggest somewhere in the neighborhood of 3ft^3, 36-40in^2 of port tuned to 32-34hz.if mike doesn't get here quick enough u can...email mike@soundsplinter.com with what ur are trying to get, he'll have a lil more insight as to what size enclosure will work best...if u have any more questions, hollar...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
00maxima 0 Posted January 26, 2005 so about 3ft^3, 36-40in^2 of port tuned to 32-34hz, for both subs or just one? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron Clinton 2,372 Posted January 26, 2005 I think kent means for two subs, that is my guessif you need help with a box we can build it, if not we could do a design if you want 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00maxima 0 Posted January 26, 2005 i am looking for more spl than sq, but still want to maintain some sq. probably like 70% spl and 30% sq. the subs would be going in a 2000 nissan maxima. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoundSplinter 1 Posted January 26, 2005 Kent's rec is solid. If you're lookin' for a touch more output, consider bumping up the combined net volume of the enclosure to 3.3-3.6 cu ft. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
00maxima 0 Posted January 26, 2005 so if i make the box like 3.5^3 feet, how many square inches should the port be, and what frequence wounld it be at? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrray13 30 Posted January 27, 2005 so about 3ft^3, 36-40in^2 of port tuned to 32-34hz, for both subs or just one?i see where my recommendation was confusing, i was quoting half the power but recommending the full enclosure..oops!my suggestion, since ur after a 70/30 split or so, with 1500wrms for the pair, is 3.3-3.5ft^3, 40-42in^2 of port tuned to 34hz. that will give u solid output while maintaining excellent sq. at the most, i'd recommend a tuning of 38hz..lil more output up top with out sacrificing all ur sq.oh yeah, that's a combined net volume..lol...and also what denim said..wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00maxima 0 Posted January 27, 2005 last night i tried to design a box. the port was on the side, and it was a slot port 2" wide, 14" tall, and 11"deep. the box it self was 28"wide, 14"tall, and 16" deep. these are all internal demensions. the box volume came out to be like 3.6^3 before displacemant and bracing. i believe the box would be tuned to 34hz. i was wondering i you guy could just check these demension to see if they would work. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
