I calculated that box, and your net volume is actually 1.46 after sub and port displacement are subtracted. Im not sure what you used to calculate you tuning.

Are you sure you got the coils and subs wired correctly???? take a 9v battery and make sure both of them move the same direction.... or at all..... you could have a coil out of phase

Im going to go check in a sec.

I wired them

Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams, Two 4 ohm Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Speakers

What gauge wire did everyone use? I tried 12 gauge and it was to big so I went with 18 for now.

12 was to big? I used 8

happy birthday

yea! how did you get 8 in there! I had alot of 8 I wanted to use but I couldnt even get 12 to fit. Ill have to take some pics.

Thanks for the happy birthday

Im not 100% sure if my methods are right but I have been told that if you want to run multiple ports you divide your box volume by the number of ports. By using that method and the12volts calculation your box comes out tuned to 52hz. If Im doing that right and your box is really 52hz that could make it sound shitty on music.

I get to watch everyone do all this awesome stuff with these little buggers and I just gotta sit around and twiddle my thumbs until my BL gets sold....

I hate you all.

Here ya guys go 3.5 cubes at 34hz. powered by a 3500d

Door panels and carpet are getting glassed, and the box got messed up when the front baffle separated. i had a all thread brace through the box and through the back cab wall, it tore through the cab and then let the baffle flex. so the 1x10 is holding the baffle together.

Box is now uninstalled and the blow through is in store, 12 E8's on 2 3500's in a 4th order.

Sorry about the quality crappy camera and i was in a huge hurry to get home.

the tape is holding the 2nd port steady as it developed a crack when the baffle broke.

the piece of wood at the top was a piece of oak to space the seat off the box. As it was closer to the box then the bucket seats i took out.

Mirror doesnt shake violently since i glued all the joints lol

All is uninstalled now need to order more equipment
