SPL & SQ / Fabrication

Hello, I have a box designed and it currently has 4.6 cubic feet net internal volume after wall thickness/drivers/bracing. I would like to port this box and the port face is 13.5hx4w. What length would the port need to be to tune the box to 33hz and 35hz? Also what would the lenght need to be if the port face was 13.5hx4.5w? Thanks

Hey guys Im currently out in pursuit of the rookie1 world record in Iasca IDBL format.. I'm using 3 8'' mtx 5500 running them off a sundowns 1500d with a optima d34 up front.. Im limited to port area, 14 per sub so I'm basically playing with 42sq inches.. My current port is 39sq inches and Im doing a 140.1db on the audiocontrol meter.. In my class Im not allowed to use test tones so Im using tracks like 36 mafia-slob on my knob.. Is there any ideas yall could give me to bring my score up? I'm thinking of re-building my box to give each sub 1cub of space each with a solid 42 sq inches of port. Maybe try 45 degree fillers and fiberglass the inside of the box with external…

Does or can anyone help me figure out what kind of space is needed to run 2 12" Z V.2 subs in a 4th order in the trunk.

Ok... In the process of building a new sub enclosure, fibreglass of course. And I am porting it (RL-p 12). Now, I do not want to use a slot port, what options do I have for nice flared ports? What dia should I go with, is 4" large enough? I saw a couple options on partsexpress, wondering if it is possible to use normal plumbing PVC instead of the supplied stuff so that I can get lengths longer than say 17"? I'll try to get pics up on the build, but, me being digicam poor, may not be able to get any up until it is completed (or I go through a complete film on the old-fashioned cam-era).

any one with a 2.2-3.0 cu./ft speaker enclosure for sale. it is needed to house a single 12" bl tuned to 32 hz. o fit in trunk of 2006 ford focus zx4. also if no on that then i need a box for two 12's for trunk of same car with same speakers 12" bl fi loaded.......G

Well my Frianken DP isnt working out to im selling my e12a, my BX1205D, and adding some cash in to see what i can come up with for an SPL driver. I can budget around $350 total. I have a USamps MD2D for power (2000w@1ohm nominal) and i want to run in Street B. This means i am restricted to two 12's or a single 15 (or x ammount of 10's but im not going to play that game). 2 12's need to be D4 or S2 and a single 15 needs to be D2 or S4. Or if its really SPL oriented it needs to be wired to 1ohm (or slightly lower) nominal in the end. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Need suggestions on bracing for this box. Would a single 4x4 in the center of this box be enough bracing for top to bottom. I haven't added bracing from side to side or front to back yet. Total top width is just over 52 and bottom is just over 41 wide 38 deep and 18 tall designed for 4 12's

Ok so i have been doing a lot of research for the past 3 months on my plans for a setup. i decided that i am going to go with 4 18"Fi SSD in a blowthrough enclosure designed by peter kulicki (still designing) with a Sundown 3000D (still saving up for it). but my dad told me my subs are going to kill my highs. currently have 4 kicker 6x9s doing the work but i am looking for some suggestions on an extreme setup for some highs in my single cab. by extreme i mean i want way more than a set of comps and tweeters. any help will be appreciated if you wanna check out some pics of my truck you can check it out here!! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/797852

Picked up 4 havoc 15's for my ext cab f150. Problem I have is my max width in the back is 58.5" and I want to fire up so I can't do a straight baffle and have enough surface area. I need to do an angled baffle and have come up with two ideas but wanted to throw it out to see if anybody had a preference between the two or maybe other suggestions. Max dimensions are roughly 25h x 23.5d x 58.5 long These will be sealed:

Memphis doesn't carry them in their site. Did some searching but only came up with the subs or some other t/s parameters . I doubt the place that sells them here will give them up cause they make boxes. They are kinda like that. They gave me recommended optimal. The port however doesn't make sense. I used Torres calc. To do their recommended port size. It's way too small IMO. 4ft^3 for two 12's with a port of 12x2.5x19long which tunes it to 28hz. I wanted to get what the actual T/S parameters are so I can get an accurate idea of how to build it.

i got a bigger amp for my 10's and now my back wall of my truck flex's way to much ...it has a knocking sound i can make it stop buy pushing as hard as i can on the consol ...what would be the best way to stiffen the wall...the box is bolted to it but only at the bottom ..i could put some more bolts into the top but im not sure it would end it ...another idea i have is to weld some tubing to the back of the wall inbetween the cab and bed ..well here is the only pic i have to show where the consol meats the wall

i will be running 4 skar 10's, the box will be in an extended cab dodge dakota, the rough dimensions of the box will be 48" wide, 26" tall, and 15" deep, subs will be on top. now i know if the subs were on the front pannel i would double baffle because of the amount of surface area there is on that panel, but if the panel the subs are on is only 48"x15" would i really need a double baffle? i mean of course i will brace is with allthread or wooden dowels, but i dont want to double baffle if i dont need to, mainly becase that would require me buying an additional 4x8 sheet of mdf.

Well i'm talkin to a member on *** about buyin his 18" dc level 5 but first i got to make sure i can fit it decently in my trunk (wall is not an option and im not taking out the back seats). my trunk is 16-17" high depending on location and im looking to run a box this size (optimum size without going into a different shape from square/rectangle): 32" wide, 16" tall, 30" deep. should be ~ 7.795 cu. ft before and displacement. im lookin to have the box tuned to 31-33hz as i listen to mostly rap and techno. the sub specs according to DC site are: Mounting Depth = 10.5Mounting Hole Diameter = 16.75"Motor Width = 9.84"Weight = 80.5lbsVC Diameter = 3" Flat 8 layerSd = 1159…

Hi guys, I will be building the pre cut enclosures I calculated under RE enclosure calculator but there are a few things I would like to verify. I would like to tune the box between 33-35Hz @ 1.8-2.0 cubic ft. However, I just read that the RE calculator is not accurate. So I searched and found this website Enclosure Volume Calculator (EVC) and made the following calculations: Box Width 23 Inches Box Height 15 Inches Box Depth 15 Inches Material Thickness 0.75 Inches Number of Drivers 1 Total Total Port Volume 258.188 Inches3 -----> see calculations below: Port Width 13.5 Inches Port Height 1.5 Inches Port Depth 12.5 Inches Driver Volume …

Sooo, it is time for some ass time in my car seat tuning the system. I need music! Every genre (besides rap please). If you have links to some FLAC torrents of said media, please link me!

Whats up guys. I am going to try to build my own box. I have only built like 2 before, but I want to give it another try. I was wondering who can I Pay to design a box for me for 2 15" Type R's... If you are interested, or have worked with these before please let me know, or send me a PM.. Thanks. Steve-o

The Box design i used from a guy from SMD didnt pan out so well, i honestly think the port length was longer than in my plan.... It sounds like it tuned to 42hz instead of 32hz. That being said im hoping SSA forum can help!! Keep in mind id really like to keep the box either as wide and shallow or flat/wide/deep as possible. Basically im trying to fit the golf clubs in the back, either in front of the box, or on top. 12" Fi Q on ~1600RMS tuned to 30ish hz. thanks for the help fellas/ladies

If the port area is 32.5in^2 how long do I need to make it to get 30-31hz??? This is for my 12" DCON.

I am going to my 2nd comp. this weekend---state finals of WV---I will be competing in the Stock SQ class and I am nervous hoping I do well---I think I have tuned my car so much it is starting to sound unnatural---I need to leave well enough alone but if anyone here knows me knows I can't leave anything as is.----sorry I had to rant alittle.

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.

Ok guys i have a 2006 charger. It supposedly has a 180 amp alt in it. Over the past few weeks i have done everything i could possible think of to get rid of this alt whine. Change grounds on the HU and the AMP.Changed RCA's. Ran an isolated ground to HU from the battery. Gave the HU an isolated power to an external battery. Seperate ground to the alt with the stock wiring in. New alt power wire with the stock wiring as well. Took the serpantine belt off the pully's to see if there was any catching in the alt(no catching nor was there an play in the alt shaft). Went and got the alt tested today its a good alt. Got the battery tested and its a good battery. The only time th…

i want to thank those of you who pointed out the error of the batterys as projectiles. there in a safe place under the amp rack now... back seat has been removed / replaced with a flipp up amp rack boxx placed for fitt

well i competed today w/ my new amps. 2 rockford bd 1500's on my 2 kicker L7's in a new CRX and just thrown, finished at 3:30am we did a 147.7 on the new termlab. good thing is we didnt blow an amp so now we can progress instead of blowing an amp everyshow. now to play and get loud :boink:

yup, the shit's still in the ceiling and it's gonna stay there. if you need to hear the drummer strait ahead and back 7 feet, the back up singer come 3 feet deep from 7 feet from your right, lead guitar and vocalist strait ahead yadda yadda... if you're all about staging, imaging, using time delay, phase, and EQ.... GOOD FOR YOU! I like it loud and clear. it is loud and clear. I like a ton of midbass and a ton of high treble and easy on the low treble and easy on the midrange. So this thing has come a long way, I now have: Alpine IVA-W505 touch screen DVD player so that I can use the touch screen to control the digital Alpine PXA-H701 crossover/processor. I have (2) Kick…
