SPL & SQ / Fabrication

sorry if this is in the wrong place, i wasnt really sure where to put it. move if needed. i just know lots of RE questions get asked so i'd thought i'd start it here. i posted the same thing on caraudio forum and thought i might as well post it here too. if anyone has any ideas i am open for anything. -getting around on a build for an 18 inch 2005 xxx. ive done some searching on box sizes and such for this and i am thinking... 8 cubes 34 hz 115 inches of port do those numbers sound about right? bigger box? more port? this is going in a 97 grand marquis...huge effing trunk...FTW amp is a saz1500 i was also porting the rear deck and taking out the back deck speakers. was t…

I attempted to download the IASCA rules today from IASCA's website (that looks and works like it was created by an 8 year old) and they require an account for download. For what reason, I have no idea. They also locked the PDF's so you can't print them. Anyway, I got the files another way and uploaded them to FloridaSPL.com/iasca (no account needed)

Here is my dilema! I wanted an 18" BTL N2, BUT my malibu only has maybe 19" height in the trunk throughout. My dimensions to work with are something like 42 from wheel to wheel, 30 deep, and 19 Height. I am open to all opinions on what would be best. I REALLY want the BTL 18 but if everyone tells me 2-BTL 15s would be better I would obviously do that. I know the nightshade and SMDs like smaller boxes as well? I just bought a Sundown 2000d today sooo that will be my amp pushing w/e sub I get. I was also considering building the box out of the trunk and into the cabin therefore allowing the 18 or 2-18s to blow through the cabin in a wall type enclosure. Here are some pics …

Hey Guys, i'm sorta new to the forum so do bash me too hard I am designing an enclosure for a 21" Death Penalty. This is my 4th variation: 8.533^ft, Tuned to 33hz, Kerfed port opening, Double baffle, 1 1/2 Port bracing, 1" Dowel bracing, 121^in of Port. This is going in a 1996 Blazer, Port faced towards the hatch. I want it to as good as it can at being "musical", do you think it will sould all around good with this enclosure? Give me your opinions, thanks.

How does this look for a box plan. I am looking at going ahead and buying a 21in DP since I have plenty of airspace to work with. I also wanted as much cone area as possible that would be ok powered by my Saz-1500v.2. This would replace the rear seats in my 07 F250 and would be at window line. Goal is to hammer the lows, get loud as piss and sound good doing it. Will this work or should I change anything. Sub / Port will be facing forward. Around 10cu tuned at 30hz I got no responses in the IA section so it may be better suited here.

I want to start this off early....give me some ideas on how to make it better.....Chad^2 don't even mention payment....the next time I see you I will pay you personally......start from the bottom guys....food?....music?.....type of judging??? I want to hear it all....

as of right now i am sound dampening, already heavily dynomated but not enough for me personally. so i am covering the interior with mdf and foaming between the mdf and all metal. the back wall will be about 3"soild, needless to say i want solid. i am going to have the subs facing up behind the two front seats, i have 12.9 cu ft gross and 10.77 net cu ft of space to work with. the box will be constructed from 1.5" mdf and internally braced with 5/8" all thread. the plan is to have an interchangable port set-up for SQ and SPL for compitition. if anyone has any ideas i would like to hear them, this is the first time i have ever used soundsplinter subs. my last sub i ha…

I am looking for a box design for 3 audioque HDC3 10's my trunk specs H 16 in L 43 in W 36 in the mouth of my trunk is 44in looking for a 4.5 cuft box tuned to 36/37 hertz i don't know how much port area though,

I will be installing a budget audio system in my 2008 Hyundai Elantra four door. I will be running a three way front stage. I am using Viper Audio 650.2 passive component set. They are metal dome tweeters with 6.5" midrange and crossovers. The tweets are harsh and the 6.5's lack midbass. I picked them up bnib cheap.... I will be using a Boss REV-665 four channel for power. Again got the amp cheap..... Channel 1&2 for the component set and channel 3&4 for 6.5" woofers. Mounting: tweeters in A-pillars aimed at each other, 6.5's midrange in custom kick panels aimed at dome light, 6.5 woofer in bottom of front doors mounted behind factory door panels and aimed at each…

i just finished my 5 CuFt box for my fi bl 15 and i used just about every square inch of my MDF wood i had for the box. my question is if its ok to use 3/4 inch plywood for my second baffle? i have a bunch lying around and would be nice instead of buying a huge sheet of MDF i would barely use. lemme know what u guys think! Thanks!!

Hi, so I'm in the process of fixing up my 300zx twin turbo and am figuring out designs for sub boxes and want some advice on configurations etc. I have two re se10s I was thinking of using or Incriminator i10s on around 150rms a peice (keeping power low to avoid having to upgrade electrical and going more for sound quality over getting loud.) My issue is I want to do a box in either side of my hatch but there are some lines on the one side which makes it have a much smaller available space. My question is should I make both boxes fill up the space and have different size boxes or make them both match? I will probably stay sealed to avoid having to figure out airspace an…

Hey guys I have a question I bought 4 3 inch aeros to be tuned to 31 hz they are going to be 12.3 inches each will this sound good I'm using a saz 3000d witha cascade designs omega 18 itshould pound right thank to all who help

since I own a scion, I frequesnt the scion bbs. Well, this guy (works for or at eDesigns) is putting 32 7.5" eDesigns woofers in the back of his TC. I guess the project just started today...but here are some pics he posted.... This reminda me of the Bose 901 series home speakers... any thoughts on this set up? I imagine it would get pretty loud. aside from being overly rediculous..what are the advantages of using 32 7.5" woofers, as opposed to 2-12's..? ...hhhmmmm....maybe I could do, like 16 rl-i 8's in my scion....hmm....

I just purchased a SSA Xcon 10 and will be putting it in my 350z. My question is.. Would a premade enclosure from "Zenclosures.com" be fine for it? Heres the link to the enclosure http://www.zenclosures.com/Nissan-350Z-Subwoofer-Box-p/z110ar.htm Any input would be greatly appreciated! Kyle

Metered with SPL-LAB same song and I got a reading of 160.1 @36 hz in the port and 146 @48 hz in the cabin. Does this sound right for the difference in frequency readings? Or is the deeper bass getting trapped in the trunk? Let me know what you guys think, thanks.

Well im starting to gather all the parts to build an active 3way setup. I know what im getting into and i know its probably far more complicated than im expecting but i love the challenge. I plan to build pods for the midbass and midrange. The tweeters i plan to mold into the factory location on the door pillar say it stages correctly in that location. Im welcome to all suggestions when it comes speaker choice as im still considering lots of options. I tend to like a smoother highend with alot of punch in the midrange if thats of any help. As for budget ill put a max per driver price beside the speaker type. Im not saying these are for sure max but its what im tr…

Ordering a AudioControl DQXS digital processor sometime in the near future. All the speakers I have are in my sig. I need suggestions on where to place these bad boys. Two 6.5"s are going into the bottom of each door. for the 4s and tweets do u fellas suggest I do 1. midrange/tweets in doors and a-pillars. 2. doors and kicks 3. kicks and A-pillars note: each 4 will have a tweet right beside it, so it wont be off axis

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

First off managed to pick up a 93 civic hatchback for 700 bucks and I would like to know what type of set up would be best, like port direction, sub direction, box style all opinions welcome as i'm pretty sure someone here would have done something like this already.
