SPL & SQ / Fabrication

say you have a box with the cuft you want to port it with but this box has a reallly strange shape will that change the port size,length, or anything at all? its going to be for a ssd 12 the box has 2.12 cuft going with a round port

I have a phoenix gold ti 12d and i'm wanting to build a 2.75 cu/ft SQ box tuned to 25hz. which are the specs. that site recommends for it. i have a mtx te 1501d that will be powering the sub in my 08 4dr toyota tacoma. i'm not the greatest with math and formulas so any help to make this buildup as painless as possible would be great. thank you

Hi, Can anyone help me with a box for one T3 Audio TSS 15 for a 1997 Acura CL? The CL is the Acura's version of a 2 door Honda Accord. My amp is a Sundown Audio 3000D. I can use up to 4.5 cubic ft. The box needs to be for SPL. Thanks to anyone that can help me some numbers.

Anyone wants to donate some blueprint of boxes that could fit here sub is 9515 w/ strapped saz1500 amp Length - 31.5 inches Height - 18 inches Depth - 22 inches These measurements are the space left to be exact, no box yet. Assuming 1inch MDF will be used and I'm eyeing for 4.5cu.ft. or 5cubes plus port tuned to 40-42hz. Sub is facing up and port is facing the rear hatch door. With the given depth, there's a 4inch gap remaining before the box/port would hit the rear hatch. Id appreciate your suggestions. Thanks

I wont to bild one of thes http://www.decware.com/whornok.htm for a set of 8's will the RL-i8 work in this tipe of box and what will the sield chamber be it ses to model a regular 4th order single reflex box to determine the rear (sealed) chamber but i dont have the program to do this i know the rli-8 is not out yet but i can wate for it

So basicly, box in trunk, 2 18's and 1 amp. for whatever db and iasca i guess, but for iasca i would have 2 amps

Ok so my 10" JLW3v2 blew for no reason that i could tell the other day. I have it powered with the JL 250/1 monoblock I bought the sub used on ebay a while ago and never tested both voice coils so I think one of them may have been bad because no wires were loose when I opened up the box, but anyway, enough about that sub. Now I want a new sub and the Boston Acoustics G210-4 caught my eye. I like how it sounds tight and clean and it seems like it'll match my amp well w/ a max RMS of 300 from the sub. My problem is my current box is .71 cubic feet and on Boston's website and Crutchfield it says the sub wants .5 cubic ft (The calculation of the dimensions on their spec s…

Hey guys, I was messing around with some box plans, and for the recommended box for two rl-i 8's (.6 CF @35 hz) the port has to be over 106 inches long. That is almost a 3 CF port! Anyone know how I can get the length down some? Check my math, but I'm pretty sure this is right.

where did it go!?!?!?

My lil ass will be there with my bro from Tallahassee...just booked hotel and plane tickets. see he just busted a 159.5 Shane? Like 5th in the USA (SS1-2)..hell yea! more free chit!

Last 4 years and last 7 boxes I have all used slot ports. I have never even looked into aeros before so I got a few questions and would like some support on what others have told me about them. As of right now I am using the torez calculator to try to help me with this. The box Im designing is for a 21 warden, I would like to have 115+ sq in of port for it tuned to low 30s. I have been told that flared ports somehow equal a bigger straight port, example I was told that a 6in flare would equal a 9in straight port. Im guessing the torez calculator goes by straight ports that are not flared. I am getting confused with all the diff info I have been given and would like any ki…

Hi, I am getting ready to switch my system from my firebird to my truck, so I can sell the car.. It's going in a 99 s10 ext. cab xtreme.. I have 1 12" pioneer premier 3002d4, It's in a sealed box now, but I want to build a ported one for it. I will be using a precision power 1500 amp at 2 ohms, so roughly 1000 watts to it. I know how to do the wood work, but I am not near as good with calculations.lol. A good slot port box design wood help a lot, if anyone has the time. I would like it to be tuned to 34hz, with 1.7 cu without the sub. For room in the back of the truck I have 14 1/2"x18 1/2"x50".. I know thats more than enough, but thats the total space I have. Also, wh…

About to start the new enclosure for my 2 zcon 12s. It will be a trunk wall. I will be trying a 10 inch round port this time. I'm wondering how many cubic feet you guys think I should aim for with the new enclosure? ? Will have an aq3500 at .5 on them but Will be adding another 3500 as soon as I can find another. . Going to be tuning around 33-34. any suggestions?

I was wondering, I am trying to figure out how to not make a box but find out measurments ... well what should i look for when I am lookin at the sub specs and what just what do i look for to make sure everything is perfect

Okay, from what ive read over the past few weeks ive decided that i want to go with an active frontstage. My DEH-7800MP is capable of this from what ive read. I plan on glassing the front doors to accept a well acoustically matched woofer and tweeter combo, i was hoping someone here could give me some suggestions on what woofer and tweeter to use so that i have little flatspots in my sound. Also for reference i hate harsh pingy tweeters, i don't particularly like all my highs to sound like crashing symbols! lol.... With switching to an active front stage this also means i will be completely losing my rear audio am i correct? Thats the only thing ive been confused about! T…

This is what i have came up with, i have the wood, tools, and these are the specs I found most best for the sub and is wondering if this would work prime with the AA mayhem single 12" dual voice coil. http://imageshack.us/a/img22/3130/subspecs.jpg

Way late but as promised here are a few pics, sorry it took so long and even if you don't know it all you guys on the forum have helped me in some way or another. The idea was to obviously keep a sub inside the car (like my 8's that were in there before) those of you who know BMW trunks understand why. Keeping it stealth was a main focus hence the flat black paint it really blends it into the car. Any and all comments are welcome, keep in mind I designed it to be way stiff, sound great, and astetics came in last. I estimate that it is around 1.2 net after polyfill. I set it on top of my 1.5 cu ft net box and it was fairly close. Later, b

Hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday. Alright, I want to upgrade my front stage and would like some help with speaker placement, setup, installations and whatever else you guys suggest. Check my signature for the setup I currently have. I have a lot of time before I get everything and install because I'm in Afghanistan right now. So basically I want to improve on my overall sq because my speakers are lacking in the midbass area and want to change my setup and I guess try to go active and really experience a real sq system. I'm not trying to go all out in the sq area but I want to do a 3way setup and just upgrade my setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Than…

how does this look? Used the RE calculator and it is confusing me a little bit. It is saying 4.58ft^3 volume with 105 sq.in. of port but when i do the math I get the volume shown in the box (in the drawing)... Sayd the tuning is 42Hz~ which is exactly what I am looking for but I wanted to make sure everything is good since I am getting conflicting numbers on teh box volume... Box is for a Mach5 SPL15

Hey all.I have a few questions about walls for car audio in cars.I have wanted a wall ever since i got into car audio but ive had a few concerns about them.Here are a couple of questions/concerns I have about them. 1.About how much does a wall weigh on average? ( I was told i could get a wall built in my car that would weigh about 300lbs made of birchwood.Is that possible?) 2.Is it a must to have air shock or whatever in the rear of the car (I have a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant ES 2.4L and it would cost over a grand to put airshocks in.) 3.Do you guys think my car could handle the weight of a wall? i VERY BADLY want a wall in my car and I know I will not stop fiddling with my …

okay these dimenions that i have for this sub box say the front and the top are the same okay thats where i get confused with it because i thought the top was the top of the sub box and the front where the ports at is the front not the other way around. 2cubes35hz2925sqin6tn.png i hope that the picture worked because i do not know how to put them on here if it doesn't work just tell me. because this is really confusing me really really bad.....
