SPL & SQ / Fabrication

Single Q12 going in 2005 jimmy and was wondering if I should just go with the cut sheets found here http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/44520-q-series-cut-sheets/#entry701997 or should I get someone to design one? wondering if this would be optimal for good SQ over SPL. Should I place enclosure against front seats facing sub backwards, upwards, towards front or behind back seats facing up or backwards ?? Looking for SQ quick response over SPL. Wanting ported for better power usage and also heard ported can sound just as good as sealed so went that way and got without high QTS. Anyone have experience with single 12 in SUV ? Anyone maybe be able to design an encl…

I like to think up things i haven't never seen done so let's get some opinions in here because i wanna see what people think how this would work - I don't feel like drawing a pic so i'm going to rely on your visualizations to see this box in your head. Let's take a 12" sub. Let's put it in a ported box at 2.5 cuft. Tuning... thats the interesting part. Ok, so build a box with 5 walls, not 6, 5. Leave the rear wall completely off. Now, let's say for quick number crunching, the box is as follows - (all external) 16" wide x 16" tall x 16" deep with no rear wall. Now, let's build another box with no sub cut out, again with 5 walls, not 6. Dimensions for this box is as foll…

I ordered two 12" D1 Icons and want to build a box for them before they get here, but I have only built one box before and have had three pre-fab box's before. In all of my sub setups (total of 4) it seemed that my very first enclosure "folded horn" box which is what the salesman told me it was. . Was it actually a folded horn box, I have no idea, BUT according to everyone else apparently you could hear me about 5 blocks away with two 10" memphis subs 250rms each. That box seemed the cleanest i've ever had and it had the port in the middle of the box with a wall in the middle of the port running parallel with it, so basically each subwoofer had its own chamber. My questi…

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 was told to post this here, this is a link to my thread. can i please get some help on this please! sa-10 box help - SSA Car Audio Forum

The dam thing didnt fit again, lol, but we took it apart and put it in seperate. The subs definitely move alot lot more, only thing is its louder but only in the trunk still , and now its flexing the side panels and trunk is now rediculous. i wish i still had my friends camera.. I'm hoping if i can stop the flexing the sound will go into the car instead of rattling out. ANy thought.s.. BTW the box i'm pretty sure isnt done right, but oh well for now

Okay I have two 15" fi ssds in a 95 ford explorer im looking for a ported box design tuned at 33hz Ive look everywhere and I am having trouble figuring out how to design one myself

I am currently in Iraq and cannot measure my doors. I drive a 2004 Ford Focus sedan. Does anyone have a Focus or know the mounting depth? I have some MLI-6.5s but they were incredibly inexpensive as I got them used from a friend and I would have no qualms with not using them. I really would like to know if I can fit the Peerless SLS 8" in my doors. I know 8"s fit diameter wise, or at least they look like it from here: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/9621. It would be awesome to have enough low end up front that I could put my RL-i 10 in a sealed box to save some space or even do away with a sub together.

2 12" type r's at 1000wrms 1ohm ported. I'm upset with my box, it kinda sucks. The port wall isn't tall enough, and it's a little too big. I want aeroports for some reason, they've always caught my attention. I've also heard they sound better. Max dimensions are 14.5" height 26" length 37" width all external. I want the subs firing up and the ports going back. This box will be in the back of a '93 Range Rover Classic LWB. I can get pictures of the inside if needed. All daily use. Just need the box design, and cut sizes.

Hey everyone, I have a dilemna. I want to throw a nice pair of 12s (or 15s if I could) in the back of my trailblazer, but I want to save space. I have 2 young boys and I need to haul a lot of stuff sometimes (golf clubs, snowboards, etc). I have a Sundown 2000 that should be delivered in 2 days, so I want to work around it. Quentin from Audibel is going to be building the box for me, thus I'm pretty much looking at SSA or IA subs. I'd love a pair of 15" Xcons, but you do what you gotta do. I figure I have a few options. Either a box up against the back seat(rear-firing?), or a false floor(firing up). I'm open to suggestions. For the box against the back seat I was leani…

The site lists 1.8 cu.ft. for the IXL 12 SL. I am assuming this is for either home or car use, so would a box approximately 1.52 ft3 with pollyfill be adequate? More specifically my dimensions are: 17"x15.5" top/bottom 15.5"x11.5" r-side/l-side/inner baffle 17"x13" front/back internal: 15.5"x14.75"x11.5" This is attempt number 2 for a box. I needed some mdf for door speaker baffles and had to buy a whole sheet so I figured out all the numbers for a 1.35 cu.ft. box because thats what i remebered and had it cut at lowes today (actually I have enough for 2 boxes that size). I got home to make sure i remembered right, and of course 1.35 is for the icon, the other sub I was t…

I built a sealed box for my 12" ICON to proper size for my mustang, but I've recently sold that car and picked up a small hatchback. I want to stick with the sealed enclosure design for this car to minimize the amount of space. Whats the smallest I could go enclosure-wise for the ICON? Would it be possible to go smaller than the .9-1.25cu ft size thats recommended if the difference way made up with polyfill? Ideally i want as small as box as possible but I still want the sub to sound great.

Im gonna make a box for a buddy of mine and he wants it to be 8cu ft and tuned to 34hz...i was wondering the size of the aeroport i need...lenth, and what size pipe should i do

Was wondering what would be the best options(in terms of loudness) in regards to size,port direction and sub firing direction. Space I am working with is Depth: 23 in Height: 26 inches Width: 42 inches So I can fit a decent sized box in it. car looks like That one isn't mine but it gives you an idea of what I am working with, but will have inside pics up tomorrow I appreciate whatever help I get.

I am getting AA Assassin Series 12"D4 and I want to make a box for them in my tech class. My goal is to make a transmission type box. I am just not sure what you need to do it right. Like how to tune how big you need to make the vent. I want to make the box about 4-5 ft. If anyone can help me that would be great.

I am new hear but installed my first system in 92. I use to have a hatchback and always used sealed boxes. I always used a slightly slanted boxes firing up at about 75 degrees and about 5 inches from the back wall (t5 inches is all the space I had left). Always had clean and awsome bass but I've recently installed a couple of 12's in a flat box firing directly at the back at 90 degrees to the rear with less success. My question is, Is it better to have a slanted box for rear firing and what is the best distance from the rear cause my trunk is huge and am currently about 10 inches from the back. Thanks for your support …

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.

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

Have this started on a couple other sites. Been out for awile (5-6yrs). Wanting to get back into comps. I already have 6 MA HK4000ds and a VW Golf hatchback. Also have a buddy selling a couple Americanbass VFL400.1s for a good price. Would prefer to stick with the MAs because I have them. Looking to do 2-15s in a wall. Prefer the street class to save $$$. Have about $3500 to spend. Also what would be some good sub options. I used to run some Apxx's and have seen several motors forsale. Also the RDs I have seen do really well.

Since soon I will be installing a new sub in my truck (if i can ever get in contact with nick at IA) so while i have the 180lb behemoth out of my truck i figured I'd slap the leftover second skin somewhere. Im looking for the most quiet and the most potential SPL gain. My doors have 1 layre on the door skin and 1 1/2 on the door (didnt botehr putting a second layre over the window acess gap incase i ever need to acess the window) I have 2 on the back wall and that helped a LOT. It went from slapping my bedliner to maybe 1/2" of movement full tilt. I feel much more comfertable upping my SPL now that my back window isnt dancing...as much. The floor and firewall would proba…

So I decided to pick up another Sa10 so I can wire down to one ohm. Now I just need to figure out how to fit these in my Infiniti I30. I've always done sub back, port back but can't with the four tens. I'm thinking about doing port and subs up, I've also thought about subs up port through the armrest. I'm capable of designing and building the box, just wanted to know if anyone had any advice about the layout. Thanks -Rick

for a friend. its an explorer.. 30 deep 40 wide. and tall well that depends on how much air space will be needed for the design 2 kicker L7 15s "all black" i donno if it makes a shit i dont follow kickers. not sure where to tune it at .,. i was thinking 33 hrtz or so. sub up port up. thanks,

I'm kinda interested in doing a T-line or horn or ABC enclosure, just want to do something different, or at least see if it will work. I read a couple of articles on T-line design, but I don't really want to do that much math. I'm just looking for some general design guidelines/ what to expect in terms of results for those types of enclosures, which is probably a lot to ask, since there is a lot that goes into the design and fine-tuning of those enclosures. For example, if i wanted to do a T-line for a 10" woofer, how large of a "pipe" would I need? How much do I need to offset the driver from the end of the pipe? stuff like that...

The title says it all. How much space should I have between my port and rear wall? My port will have a 9,5" x 20.5" surface area, the enclosure is 20 cu.ft., I will be using two Fi Q 18" powered by a Hifonics XX Colossus II amplifier that will deliver about 3000W rms. The reason I ask is that I don't have enough room for the tuning I want, so I want to make it as close to the intended tuning as possible. I was thinking that 8" will be enough if I make the end flared and the wall "pointy" to reduce turbulence. Would this be enough? Picture of how I was thinking about making the enclosure:
