looking to free up some space in my nissan 350z so i'll be replace the box i built for my single sundown audio sa-10 with a stealth box. now before i do this i was wanting to know if this box will work great with my sub tune at 33-35hz instead of 39hz. The box i have now is a 1.095 cubic feet vented box tune at 35hz with the sub facing up and vent facing forward. h**p://www.ebay.com/itm/350Z-Ported-Vented-Sub-Box-Subwoofer-Enclosure-Plexiglass-Amp-Rack-39hz-/261676372251?hash=item3ced20911b&vxp=mtr

I saw this done with on RL-p by some one on here. Basically my only motivation to even think of doing this is because I have a Rear Strut-tower Bar that kind of divides the trunk (99 civic cp). So any box I put in is going to either be really small or really convoluted.. and I don't want to do that.. unless I have too. So what are your thoughts? Another idea is to attach it to the seat back and then build a 1.0-1.7cf sealed box around it.

hey guys I'm about to start on my new box for the TI and was wanting to put some internal bracing for this box. Does anyone have some good pics of internal bracing, I need some ideas on what to do here. I already have the box plans, just need to get some basic ideas as to where to place the bracing. thx. -chev

Want to build a series-tunes 6th order for a Single Fi Car Audio SSD 18. Not sure where to start I know 6th orders are more complex to design and more of a trial and error build but if I never try it out I will never learn. So of course the goal is to successfully build a 6th order but depending on the final results if it does not meet expectations there will be adjustments. Also if non of the revisions succeed I will fall back on a standard Ported Enclosure . Please if you have any useful information on 6th order designing/building It would be awesome if you can share them with me . Thanks in advancez max dimension - height 30” - depth 21” - width 38…

So, explorers finally safetied.... Now i am going to start the box build. I plan on installing 2 15's for now, but 4 in total down the road. My question, would it be bad for the subs to oversize the box to leave room to cut in speaker openings down the road? The subs call for roughly 3.5 @ 33-35 hz, if i made the box like 12 cubes tuned to the proper frequency what effect would it have? How does the increased size effect the sound and response of the sub? Will their be any dangers in running a sub in an oversize inclosure for daily driving? Thanks in advance. Chris McDonald

hey whats up im new to spl, i have a 94 ford econoline van i have competed in spl for 1 year this is my first , and i love it, i have 4 l5 15's im puttin in a box, the box will have 13.3 cubic feet of airspace i do not want to wall but i want to be loud, i was thinking about sound deadening my roof and floor basically everywhere is it a good idea or no, i was also thinking about removing my middle row of seats, to let more air go by, any hints or tips on making a van loud without walling, or any tips on what i should do , thank you

I've been looking at the usaci rules but all I can find is that it says modifications are trunk only so does this mean batteries and amps also have to be in the trunk or just the sub?

What is the technical reason why it is BAD to have pressure behind a wall in my truck? -- or any ride at that. Thank you.

hello i have a 02 nissan frontier crewcab i have never built a wall and need help with the design if anyone could help me im trying to get around 35 htz but the floor i weird and i cannot figure out how to upload pictures i can email them to anyone that can help or if someone can tell me how to upload them w:51 d:27 h:36

OK i got this box made 4 yrs ago for my other car but it was a ported box for 2 12's. It was for 2 pioneer premiere ts-w12prs subs. Now i am not sure what the sub actually calls for on ported box but the is a review & Klippel Data on this sub here http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/...newthread&f=24 Its a slot port box btw The box is pretty big Here is the outer dimensions of the box Height:12.5 Width:36 Length:26 I am using 3/4 mdf wood Here is the port length Width: 4.5 Length: 11 Depth: 18 Here is the specs of my w12gti's http://manuals.harman.com/JBL/CAR/Bo...2GTi_rev_f.pdf I am currently using this box on 2 w12gti's with a sundown 1500d at 2 ohms which is 80…

the sub should be here within the week. it will be going in a 2002 cavalier. i have limits on the box, so i have come up with 36w x 17h x 13d with 2 3"ID ports tuning to 35hz. i read some where i could tune the box a little higher due to the fact i listen to a wide range of music. any truth?? sub will fire into the cab area. i have also read some where about sealing off the trunk. so, i would seal off the enclosure from the rest of the trunk and channel all the sound into the cab area?? any specifications on space needed in front of the woofer or ports??

well just picked up a 18 btl just wondering what everybody on here suggest for a box all opinions welcome. Will be running a hifonics cyclops xxv for power. thanks in advance.

I need help. I traded my 2 vvx-15 for a sundown v2 18 inch in a box that needs help. I want I box thats tuned between 30-34 htz. I want it vented not ported, I like the look better. I like how loud it gets but I would like to control it a little better when I turn it up, but I think its the box that leaks. I have a jeep grand cherokee, so I know I have the space for a large box. At the moment the the sub faces up I would like it if it fired to the back. Any help is greatly appreciated. And I am still running the planet audio bb2400.1

I did a recent install in the wifes jetta an alpine oversized face deck 7998 or something I think I'd have to look.. a PG Xenon x600.1 amp, pushing a single DD 9510F in a 3 cube box 45in^3 port 34hz tune. not too musical imo, but bangs hard on the low bass stuff. I think if I had more power it may help, and a higher tune also would more than likely help, as it's tuned lower than the drivers FS... anyway, in my sig is a link to the vid, and here are a couple pix does a 141.9@34hz car closed on the dash new TL, and a 141.4@32hz. 140s on music peak hold on dash, and I did a rolling average with some chopped and screwed and watched it do 139-140 for a little over 30 seconds.…

Hello my fellow SSA dudes, I'm looking to get a blow through bandpass design for 2 18" fully loaded BTL's. My truck is a 1986 GMC S15 and i will be powering them with 2 AQ2200. (if i can fit more BTLs lets do it!) Dimensions: Front to back - 6ft (72 inches) Left to right - 4ft 10inches (58 inches) Tailgate opening - 4ft 3inches (58 inches) Up and down - 1ft 3inches (15 inches) Wheel well to wheel well - 3ft 3inches (39 inches) Thanks Dom. P.S. (To my fellow SSA dudes) - sorry again you have to see my threads about this subject.. just trying to get some help!

im gonna make some kick pods using my old kickpanels in my truck, but i saw a guy on here once making them with 1/4 inch mdf for the mounting plate, and then the rest was foam filler which he resined and glassed directly on top of that then wrapped them in vinyl. is this a good idea, or stick to the regular all glassed way?

So basically I'm slowly piecing my system together and had an idea for an amp rack that is somewhat "expandable". It consists of a wooden base, with a wooden box attached to the end of it for the amps, batteries, etc to be placed into. I'm planning on having ventilation and having the rear of it open faced. It would have shelving for the amps.I'm thinking I could secure the wooden base to these strap hooks I have in the rear of my truck (2006 tahoe), have them protude through the bottom then either use a heavy duty strap or bolts through them. I'd rather not drill into the body anymore than I have in order to secure it. One of the reasons I'd like this design is for secur…

Im changing my set up.. i only had my 2 10" Qs for a couple months but they arent loud enough for me anymore. I have an 04 super crew F150 and im taking the center seat out of the back seat and im gonna center console 2 12" BTLs. maybe if i can fit it 2 15" BTLs id like to keep it a wood enclosure to keep the cost down. Anyone have any ideas for how to get them to fit and have the airspace they need? and then ports?

Hey guys wondering if anybody local to Richmond IN has some spare pieces of mdf laying around im just needing a piece 37.25X12.75 and dont want to buy a whole sheet let me know if you can help me out
