hello ssa and people with grand prixs lol. i wanna but a 15 fi bl in the trunk of my 97 gp. but idk how i can make a big enough box but still fit in in through the trunk. people with gbs can i get some box dimentions please that would be great. thanks for veiwing.

Ok I've had subs before but nothing too fancy just some 12" kicker cvxs in a ported box and running a 1200W (i think) MTX amp. Well i sold that and now I want something new. I have a 2001 Hyundai Elantra and don't care about trunk space so if the subs take up the whole trunk so be it. The thing is my budget is $1000 and I don't want to upgrade my electrical or get very technical with my system. I listen to mainly electronic music (trance, house, etc..) and rap/hip hop once in a while. Now i've read here that if your going for a SQ setup your not going for loud. I understand this, but since I do listen to rap/hip hop does this mean I am not going to be able to enjoy …

I want to do IB in my 1995 Acrua Integra hatchback. I am aware that I need to seal off the front wave from the rear wave but how much so? If you have seen the rear hatch area do you have any ideas how I can acomplish this. I was gonna remove the faux rear deck and put up a wood deck to mount the woofers and then seal off the seat area. But there is the issue of plastic paneling...do I need to remove it all? and then there is the issue of where the deck will touch the hatch. I cannot seal it together because I need to be able to access my trunk. Any ideas?

I have a DC XL m1 18 that i am wanting to put in my truck (02 Silverado 1500HD). I am thinking about taking the 60 part of my 60/40 back seat and making a box above my amp rack. I am wanting to tune to 30 hz or lower and would like to possibly do a hairtrick. Is it possible to do in my truck with a single 18? Here is what I have right now: 1 DC XL m1 18 D2 1 Crescendo BC2000D 1 Mechman 270 amp alternator 1 Stinger SPP1500D battery under the hood All 1/0 for big 3 and running to amp This is a box I come up with Would I need more port? Should I change anything else? And where should I place the port? the sub will either be facing up or forward. Should the port face forward…

Hey, well over the past couple days ive been smoothing out the wall that ive had for about 3-4 months. i couldnt do anything before because it was -15 degree C all the time. the last few days have been +2 to 4 degrees, warm enough for a tshirt. but today its about -2. If i kept goin today, itd be done and painted, but is it too cold for bondo to cure? or will it just take longer to cure? thanks

I am currently designing a box for a DD9512g which will be on a SAZ 2500D. I wanna tune to 36-37 Hz with about 2.5-2.6 net volume. My question is: What has greater potential increase of SPL. A lower port mach or more port area? Thanks!

I've had this sub for about a year and I want to build a new box for it. The first time, I built the port a little small (port area wise), so this time I'm going to make it bigger as well as increase the box volume. My plan is to make a box that is 32" wide, 22" tall, and 28" deep with a port that will be 20.5" tall, 6" wide and 35.6" deep. According to bassbox pro, that will give me a 29hz tuning. Does this sound right? Those are the maximum dimensions I can fit in the back of my Jeep while still keeping the port about 5-6" away from the hatch. Any suggestions? BTW, it'll be sub up, port back and it's powered off of a sundown SAZ-1000d. Also, do you think I'll need a…

Just purchased a couple of eclipse 88120s in a custom enclosure. I threw it in today and, similar to my hdc3, I am lacking in low end output. The box is dual chambered,tuned to 34 hz, and each driver has about 1.6 cubes. I thought that I did not need to build a new box because the tuning of 34 hz is low enough to achieve the lows Im looking for. However, like i previously stated, Im lacking low end output. It seems like Im never going to be able to get the flat response Im looking for. Thanks for the help guys! edit: The custom enclosure has two seperate ports, one for each driver. I could remove the divider between the two ports if that would help. But, as far as I know…

Has anyone put a xcon in a 4th order? If so how did it sound will the sq be just ass good?

Hey! I´m new here Just ordered a Warden 18 2x2 ohms thats going to sit in my SAAB 9000 coupé in the trunk. It will get about 4500 rms from a Soundstream Goliath Tarantula XXX 6500D. How big box do I need? I want to play loud (ofc) but loud to music, not to pure sinewaves. The music I´m playing is Lil Jon, Ludacris, Young Jeezy... that kind so tuned to 30 hz would be really nice Depending on what the FS is. Cant find it *If I´m spelling something wrong its because I´m Swedish *

should i face my subs and port into the car or both to the rear. these are not the only two options but im looking for the best way to get the best sq for a daily driver.

Do you guys think I can get 4 dcon 10s in a 36"w x 16"h x20"d ported

Any use this program to model stuff? If so, im too broke to pay for it

My boy is about to buy a 04 monte carlo. He wants something loud in there without sacrificing the trunk to much, I wont have any measurements for a few days but I wasnt sure if anyone has built anything in one these and mite know some ideas for speaker and amp brands

I bought 2 aurum cantus ac165/50c2c to go in a 2 way active setup (morel 378s for tweets). The speakers are not made to run infinite baffle, but I figured I could make something work. I'm not quite sure dimensions yet for the door, but at first I was thinking of using those 6.5 foam speaker baffles that seal the speaker. I am doubtful that these will give them enough space or will be optimal but Id rather they be sealed in a tiny airspace then free air. I am going for sound quality in my front stage, so I want a more permanent better solution to this. Any tips on going about making an enclosure? Also to note this will be in a new chrysler 300 so I don't want to cut up t…

alright calm down.. i know the SQ guys are all worked up with sand in thair clams right about now.... i want better sound in my car.. i have some highs and mids but not enough.. i wanna get a cleaner sound. i have 2 bl 15's on a saz 3000d. and then i have 2 sets of 5x7 alpine typr R comps in the doors and in the rear deck. it sounds good at mid to low volume, but when i turn it up to higher volumes the tweeters are steal sounding and the word are ran over a bit by the subs.. its not THAT bad.. if you watch some of my vids you can see that some songs are better then others ...... some sound good.. and then other songs are just blah... i know 5x7s are junk..…

so me and my buddy decided to make the box for my 15 thats on the way and here are some pics gonna carpet it soon! tell me what you think, and be honest!

If I do my setup the way I'm thinkin, looks like I can only fit tens. Max diemensions is 34 w X 15 h, I'm pretty certain. I've got the rest of my truck bed in regards to length. I've got a few ideas.. Lemme explain this. First off, these are overhead view of how the box would be. There not to spec or anything, just some ideas. Its not the right diemensions or anythin.. just some ideas how I could fit a few 10s. Would fire into my window. The first one, top left, is a sealed box, kinda based on a clamshell on its side. second one has four subs, and a port in the middle. Bottom is just a ported box with two tens firing into the window (not sure if you could fit two tens an…

Is it cheaper to buy my own MDF and make a box than having professionals at a audio store do it? I plan on having a SA-12 and a box Ported tuned to about 32hz with about 1.7 cubic ft of space. I have the measurements and such. I used the re audio box calculator. I can get help from my woodshop teacher and some friends but I'm curious if it's cheaper. Idk how much they charge at the audio store but I'm sure it's not cheap. And another thing how good is birch over MDF? I can get birch free but everyone tells me MDF sounds better. Build would be musical and everyday driver not spl. Thanks guys can't wait to hear from you all.

I saw this on a video and I want to know if its possible for me. Here is some info: I want to go with the musical ported measurements. 2.5^ft., 4" Vd, 13.5" Vl, tuned to 28htz I want the outside length to be 31" (including ports) max, I want it 14" high. What I don't know is the depth. I have a 3000 watt amp and listen to various kinds of music. If someone can help me on the dimensions and maybe even a plot of the spl curve, it would be greatly appreciated and I can get to building. Thank You. Edited to add, If I left anything out, please let me know so I can provide you with the info. Thanks

For a slot port is 2" for the width too small? Will there be port noise? Box Specs: width: 25 height: 13 depth: 13 wood thickness: 0.75 port height: 11.5 port width: 2 port length 1: 10.25 port length 2: 14 tuning Hz: 37

Ok so i'm pretty much done wt my box, will post pics soon enough, but. I'm not going to be able to reach my subs, once done, so if i connect each + and - to a bolt and nut on the box, that should work just fine correct? I'm sure i've seen it done before. I just would rather not run long lengths of wire to the amp.

Howdy, I am going to be walling the astro soon and wanted to get some ideas of what type of walls there are and whats the benefits to them.I am walling it with 8 18" icons I havent set the amp in stone yet but I am contemplating between a DC 12k or a Soundigital 16k. once again the amp is up for debate. There will be a multiple alternator setup with battery bank to supply the amp or amps that are chosen. but with all that out of the way! Dimensions I have to go with are 48" tall 51" wide and up to 97" deep but I really dont need that deep lol! we still need to leave room for amps and batteries! I was throwing around the idea of a clamshell or maybe a 4th order just not …

I've got a 2.4 cube box tuned to 30 hz with a 3" aero port. The sub is a Fi Bl 12 getting about 750 watts off a Powerbass ASA1500.1. I went to comp last sunday and did a 136.8 at 44hz. If I made the port tuned to 35 hz, or even 38 hz, would my score go up? I'm not too worried about the competition in my class since I am sitting in 2nd place in the circuit, but it's always nice to be louder.
