Thinking of switching sub setup..

Recommended Posts

Give me the total space you have to work with..What vehicle and gear you are going with,and i would be glad to help.

Total space is already given, car is in the profile and listed in this thread as well.

Uh no, I'd stick with the manufacturers recommendation. A box that large tuned that high WILL sound horrible.

What does it matter if it could handle it if it will sound horrible?

These subs were already desinged for smaller enclosures to begin with.

Ethos like small boxes. I know this!

No plans of reconing it. I already like the sub as it is and I prefer a smaller box, thus the reason for this thread. I think I can actually achieve more hatch space with the two variations I mentioned above along with better sound since my box was clearly wrong. I do appreciate the offer to help though!

That is terrible advice. Dss recommends 1.5 ft3 tuned to 32hz with 40in2 of port. You would get terrible performs out of the ethos 12" in that large of an enclosure. Chances are you would also damage it. The reason I love SSA is because of the solid accurate advise so please stop given such bad advice.

You kind of implied that is what I should do.  You asked for the specs on my areas to work with, car, etc etc then mentioned that I should L port it @ 4cft @ 35hz. 

 

Being totally off-spec or not, it was way off from what I was asking of the forum, which was info on how to go about a smaller and better enclosure for the Ethos since the current one isn't ideal for it.

Just stop. You are not making anything better. Just let it go.

Next time you want to give advice about a product you know nothing about, don't. Or, do, and just add in somewhere, "OPINION NOT FACT" so there is no confusion that you are talking out your rumpelstiltskin.

All good.  I just want to make sure the info I provided doesn't get buried.

 

I've been playing around with calculators this morning online and it seems like I can make something work in the areas I provided.  Unfortuantely I'm not familiar with making sure port area and stuff are where they should be, so that's where I would need the help in designing something up.
