SPL & SQ / Fabrication

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…

Unfortunately due to some extenuating circumstances this year's event has been POSTPONED!!!!!! The Clayton Chamber of Commerce has postponed this year's Clayton Classic Car Show. Since the show is put on in conjunction with the Classic Car Show, we have to postpone the Clayton Car Stereo Show. We will be in close talks with the Clayton Chamber of Commerce and see when they will decide on a new date for the Classic Car Show, when we get a new date for the show I let everyone know and we will try to have it then.

So the plan was to build a trunk box that was larger with more port area than the box I had previously but I ran into a bit of an issue much too late in process.... After we finished the box, I tried to slide it into the trunk. Didn't fit Damn you Corolla and you're itty bitty trunk opening. Inside of the trunk would have fit it fine but it could not be fit through the opening. Sooo, I have another backseat box. LOL It sounds insanely better which is a plus, but I guess i still fail a bit in the end. It'll do for now... 4 cubes @ 31hz, 18 sq inches of port per foot. Tell me what you think. (Besides telling me it needs to go in the trunk )

Hey I want to build a ported box for 2 12" SDC2.5s, but I've never built a ported box....and it confuses me On the Audioque site it says each sub should have 2.5 cuft and that includes the port and sub. But what should the port length, width etc be? I've searched and read up on a lot of stuff and other peoples' builds, but still am not sure what do.

alright i went active last week and blew my tweeters withen about an hours play time.... maybe too much power.. maybe i had them crossed over wrong.... 100.4 sundown amp... 1st model and these ar4e my trweeters... http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...roducts_id=1466 where should my settings be?

anyone in here ever deal with Digital Designs or have a few M1 amps layin around?

jsut curious who all is excited that both will be offered in the ame even? I know me and my team are. Who else?

hey, im going to be buying a VW rabbit in a couple months cause i got accepted to my #1 choice university!!!! i got a scholarship so now i have about 10 grand saved up plus i'll take out a student loan and im gettin paid to go to school (1600 bucks a month). I currently have a Fi Q18 tuned to 28-30 hz, and i hit 145.2 on my first try with some music. Im looking for some help on deciding what the best setup would be for a hatchback. Im thinking 2 12" BTLs with about 5000 watts. im really excited to get this project goin. my goal is to break the 150 mark but music is what the stereo will play, no farting. any help is appreciated!!!! thanks

Just made my first go at this google sketch up and was wanting some feed back to see if i need to make any corrections i'm building for either 3 fi bl 12's or 3 psi platform 2 12's heres a pic of what i have came up with so far

Im starting my build in about a week or so and i narrowed my design down to two options. The first option is to have the sub up firing at the rear deck with a kerfed port(s) firing back or sub up firing at the trunk lid with a kerfed port(s) firing into the cabin. after doing a lot of searching i see a lot that like the sub up port back. The reason i chose these two designs is because i cant do both sub and port back or sub back and port to the side. Which option would yield better results? I also its vehicle dependent but my box will have to be build inside the trunk so moving it around is pretty much out the question

well tomorrow my third rl-p 18 should be here, so now i need to start doing some box planning. i have an isuzu rodeo (suv) with the back seats ripped out. im going to use the whole back portion to build the box. its not going ot be a wall though. my question is what size and tuning should i do for all three? i see the recomended 5 cubes at 27 hz for one, but im not sure if it would change for all three. by that i mean, would the optimal size be 15 cubes at 27 hz? maybe im overthinking it but it seems ike it would change due to there being multiple drivers in the same box. also, i know i can fit the box in my suv, but porting it back may not work. my back window angles in …

Can someone check these calculations? Height:20 Width:38 Depth:14 Port Length:25 1/8" Port Width:3" These are externals. Thanks for any help

I'm just looking for some pointers on where I could look for reputable information on designing 2 way passive, 2 way active and (after some practice) eventually 3 way active front stages. Just stuff like, what to keep in mind as far as driver selection, particular features to look for when choosing a certain driver, and how to design passive crossovers. I was daydreaming and hit a roadblock when I realized, what the hell do I even know about a quality front stage? I can't say much at all, other than, deaden, and airseal the speakers. So I feel like it's time to start learning, might even have some applicable tips on hand for when the new truck is ready I'm plannin…

Would this be a good box for 2 xcon 12s running a crescendo bc 2000d I'm planning on running it at 2 ohms because I'm hoping to run stock alt with an extra batt. in the rear for now. I was hoping to run sub and port forward sealed from the trunk so my max height is 18 and width is 32 and that's real tight. If someone else has done this I would love to see pics for reference. http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii511/trpkkd/accordbox.png

if ny one has ann ideas for a box design that would be helpful please post them!!!! i need a good idea for the SPL competition!!!!

I have been running 2 12" zcons for little over a year. 6 cubes 38hz 80cuin of port area. drivers side port all facing into cabin spray foam sealed of family car. trunk build. still have to load kids in back seat. seats fold down. Always been run at 1 ohm. I was using a saz3500v1. when I built that box and tuned it. I recently bought a B2 M1s to run on these subs. 7500w @ 1ohm. with the power increase I was looking for any help with what the new box would require as far as net volume. Looking for help????? suggestions???

I lined my box with fiber glass and mat, and it came out very bumpy, tried to smooth it out and did an ok job at removing some. My question is how smooth does it have to be, does it affect the over all sound pressure.

i will have 2 or 3 amps in my truck to power my speakers. I want to remove them from under the rear seat and build some type of mounting device for them. i have an 8 cubic foot box for my SP4 - could i mount the amps on the side of this box or on some wood attached to this box OR would the vibrations be less than ideal for my amps?

I would like to know where I can get some MDF for a temporary/test enclosure I plan to build, I don't care how cheap or low in quality it is, since this will only be a test enclosure, I live in southern wisconsin, if you know of any stores here or any online shops that are cheap let me know. This will be for my 15" xcon for a temporary sealed enclosure for now, and after I get it in its new enclosure I will use this box for future testing purposes. i did do a quick search through the forums and I got zero results, kinda weird.

i have a 2005 tahoe with two orion hcca 15.2 and want to build a box like the one steve meade has for is 4 18's here a couple of links...sorry dont know how to put picks up https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=x6V8eu8o53qyjM&tbnid=EQYYPTVbyxj2eM:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fstevemeadedesigns.com%2Fhome%2Fmemberbuilds_5.php&ei=Js_tUumTLOqe2QXA8oHYDg&bvm=bv.60444564,d.b2I&psig=AFQjCNEvJXWf_OhHZbJlaEYPPEtNZET1bA&ust=1391403157918733 http://cs12828.vk.me/u109393749/video/l_a71dab0b.jpg

Besides the obvious, what is the difference between front fire and down fire enclosures? Is it just a prefrence issue or is there a sound quality difference?

i got test tones from 20 hrtz to 85 but i fail to find a sweep for free. any ideas?

Starting a box for a friend tomorrow. He has 2 12in kicker cvr's in a prefab box with the ports stuffed with towels because it's way to small to be ported. Lol I will be building a 5 cu box tuned at 32hz. Dimensions are 36w x26d x15h, port is 5in x 13.5in and around 26 in long. It will be 3/4, double baffled and 1in dowel braced. He doesn't have much power JLa1400 (500rms) Should be good for when he can get some real subs and a bigger amp. It's going in a Cadillac deville trunk rear facing. Opinions are welcome., although after spending about a hour making the cut sheet I am pretty set on it, lol. Can post pics during build if anyone wants to see it, should be a huge i…

alright, so i have a FI Bl 15" with, cooling,daily, universal d1. I am planning on building a new box because my current box only takes up 1/2 of my trunk which is in fact bad. Due to the trunk and how it is made there are two metal bars coming across the length of my trunk, and it makes my sub box aprox. 1 foot away from my trunk lid, which i think lessens the well initial BOOM, when i had my MTX JH55's in they sounded much louder when they were pushed back so i thought well "why the hell not build my own box" here are the specifications, i even made a pretty picture for you guys. ports from eD. (made in Google Sketchup!) Ideas, comments, suggestions? (some insight from…
