I would like help with a design of a box for a Sundown Audio SA 12" sub woofer , that is 12" at the bottom, 8" at the top 17" tall and 30" long, with the sub woofer mounted on the slanted side. I would like it to be ported, and tuned to 32 HZ. Again, 3/4" MDF 12" bottom 8" top 17" tall 30" long Tuned to 32 HZ Sub-woofer mounted on slanted side Truck-box style.

I need help with a box spec for my 2 Sundown Audio SA-15s. Its going into a Izusu Rodeo. The box can be up to 41 inches wide. I looking for a box that i can use as a daily driver and for competitions. I would appreciate the help.

Does anyone know where I can buy a copy of the USACI SQ disc with Hotel California? Or if someone can burn me a copy, I'd be willing to pay...of course.

Hey guys I just recently got two SA 8s and I am getting ready for a custom enclosure. I have been thinking about maybe upfiring them into the rear deck of my new Infiniti M35x and cutting holes for the port and woofers. The only issue is that I did this with some Image Dynamic 8s and wasn't thrilled about the how they sounded. Certain people say that give you a cleaner sound any input? I was also thinking about doing something funky like firing port backwards and subs up like you would in an SUV to see if that made a difference in the trunk. Should I just stick with the conventional trunk box? I was also wondering what people were running for box size (i heard .6 per sub …

What numbers are you hitting with windows up, vs down? I need some numbers for this thing I'm doing. Thanks!

I want two 15 in icons in my trunk but idk if i have the room. I want a ported box. Trunk dimensions are 4x3x1.5. Amp is crescendo bc2k if anyones wonderin

a box's internal dimensions - 10.5" high 35.5" wide 20" deep If i put a port in it width-wise, slot port along the wall, 10.5" high x 4" wide, and run it across and leave a 4" gap from the wall resulting in port length being 31.5" long + 0.75" for wood thickness exiting box... When i calculate port displacement, do i find the cubic volume of 10.5" x 4.75"(plus thickness of wood) x 31.5" or 10.5" x 4.75" by 35.5" ? Do i take into account the effective area around the port too? because if i do then i would choose the 2nd option above as part of the displacement.

My guages in my car are digital LCD. They are a teal color now and I'd like to change them to green. Can this be accomplished?

Ok I am getting ready to build my wall and was wondering what size bandpass box and port would be required for 3 solox 12's running off of 3 crunch GP3000dpros? Its going in a smaller car so that is why I am using 12's. tuning would be for everyday listening.

I just received a phone call from Matt Borgardt at ID. Due to the fact that he is seriously ill, we will be unable to have the IASCA event on Jan 24th. The event will be rescheduled for some time in April. The next IASCA show will be February 15th at Beach Autosound in Huntington Beach, Ca. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause any of you. Please try to spread the word so we don't have people driving in from out of town to show up at an empty parking lot. -Todd Woodworth

It is in the back of my 2001 tahoe right now. I have a box, but it looks like crap and I need a new one. What would you feel would be a decent size and tuning? I listen to mostly rap, love when it hits super low and moves some air. I think my box is tuned around 34 hz right now. Could I go lower for daily? Would i be ok doin sub and port facing back? heres the box I have it in now, the port comes out on the top left. It was built for my last truck, so the port location isnt ideal.. let me know what …

Im BACK! After being gone for a while traveling the world I have come back to my fellow members / friends / people / dudes / dudettes and folks on the good 'ol ssa forums (good job Mark). I am starting a rebuild once again. I literally blew my old box apart so its time to go bigger, badder and more bracing! I noticed a huge improvement from my 3.5cuFt box to my 4.25cuFt box. I hope to do the same when I hit a 4.75 ish box. I am installing into this box a single DC 15" woofer being powered by a 3500D. Here is what my plan is: BOX: Height: 17.5in Width: 38in Depth: 18.5 CuFt: 5.083 Square Port Volume Internal: 1134 Square Port Volume Displacement: 1144.125 Tuning Freque…

Why did you get out of the competition scene in upstate abyway? I thought you had a good thing going. How high did the Orion setup ever get?

I need help to build a box for one 12" Fi Q in the back of my regular cab GMC truck. I don't want to compromise sound quality and i do want it to get loud. What i was thinking of doing is fiberglassing the bottom floor behind the passenger seat where a box would normally go and use MDF for the front, sides and top. I 'm not the best at 'glassing, it works but isn't pretty. I'm trying to get there recommended size of 1.2 - 1.3 cubic feet. Any ideas to start??? If any one has any ideas please let me know i am open for suggestions. Thanks in advance I want to run a 12" Q and a Sundown Audio SAZ-1500D.

Hello all, am quite new to this forum and have been around caraudio for a little while but still have a lot to learn especially as I haven't been as passionate as most seem to be here Anyway I have this old car in good shape that I am using to drive to work at the coal mine and have put a stereo into it although most needs to be reinstalled as it is just temporary. I have a 15" RL-p Soundsplinter sub on an SAZ 1500D amp and an alpine HU and some Hertz 165 high power components running on a 400W MA Audio amp I had laying around. The Sub is in a ported enclosure I built a while back for the 08 Charger I had but never put the sub into...... problem is the enclosure is too …

Hey, I was wondering what the biggest box anyone has put in a WRX sedan through the trunk. I have a XXX 15 and I am having trouble getting big enough dimensions for a ported box to house the XXX. If anyone can help let me know. Thanks, Chief

So I used to run my Fi SSD 18 in a 9cuft box tuned to 32hz (or close, it was my first box build and I had some hard times with it). I liked how it sounded, though it was on the high end as far as box recommendations go for an SSD 18. The thing with the box was that it suffered slight water damage and aesthetically wasn't as pleasing as I preferred. I was looking to either paint it or put some sort of vinyl or something over it to improve its looks, but never got around to it. Another thing that was annoying about the box was how LARGE it was lol. It was initially designed for my room, but was moved out to my Jeep Cherokee. I wanted to keep the back seats up, so the only w…

Anyone know if there are any major/non major SPL competitions in NJ area. I would like to go up and watch and maybe participate in the future. But mostly just watch in awe. Curt
