SPL & SQ / Fabrication

I was cleaning out my room, and found some literature that came with my DLS components. I didn't notice this bit of info when I was doing the install. But DLS recommends a chamfered baffle for the midbass. I simply made 1/2" birch rings with no chamfer. My question is, will I notice a big difference in midbass response by going the chamfered route? The rings are fairly thin being only 1/2", I don't think the backwaves are really hitting it. But I want to get some second opinions before I take my doors apart to redo the rings. http://www.dls.se/files/701/2/baffle_installation.pdf Pics of my baffles: passenger side driver side

Sup guys, first time poster. I have a 2003 dodge dakota regular cab. I have 2 SSD 10" that I have in 2 sealed boxes behind the seat. I am looking to take one out and put 1 ported box for only one sub in. I have the box dimensions that I want just can't figure out where to put the port or how big it needs to be. I have a HiFonics 1600 mono That I am going to be wiring to the sub at 1 Ohm. The box dimension I have came up with will give me 1.25 cubic feet @33Hz. Height = 15 inches Width = 24 inches Depth = 6 inches Please help with port size and location

Subs: two DC Audio LVL4XL 15's Here is the room I have set aside for the box. I can possibly go bigger. But, if possible, would like to not go bigger. 23 inches high 20 inches deep 38 inches wide I want subs up and the port up. I would like to use a slot port. Tunning could be at whatever would work best with the dimensions given. Anywhere between 30hz to 40hz would be fine with me. I dont know what my cabin peaks at but I have had two setups, one 18 tuned to 32 and two tens, not sure on tunning, Both setups peaked at between 40 to 45 hz. I will be using a US Amps AX3200DE to power them. This will be in a small SUV, 07' Honda CR-V.

i built a sealed box for this sub .6 cubic feet and it sounds good but it depends on the notes and it just drops off different notes and its loudness lacks majorly im very disappointed in this subwoofer... i have 800 rms going to this sub at 4 ohms and my amp can be wired to 1 ohm at 1600 watts rms and it still sounds like crap? help a brother out.... thanks im at lose and ready to sell the box is air tight its a good box. i m lost ?

I might be doing an install with a clarion DRZ9255 with a active setup on the HAT L1's .. wondering how accurate the built in crossover is on the clarion if anyone here has used it in this fashion

i'm planning on running 2 orion hcca 12's and the box i'm planning on housing them in aimed at 30hz. it's dimensions are 39" wide, 14.5" in height, and 32" in depth. my port measures 13" wide, 8" in height, and 27 3/4" in depth. will these measurements yeild my 30hz goal. i'm not that good with measuring volume and everything so a little assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Could I get the same output if I use aero tubes on my box instead of a regular port? I want to get a 9cuft box for the new 15" BLs. Would the aero tubes make the gross area of the box smaller because I want the box as small as possible but still have about 9cuft of area after displacements?

W'sup guys, i'd like a little assistance on my box build. I'm doing revisions 2 my blowthrough in my 99' s-10 and need help on port size. My box will consist of 2 12" orion hcca's and will be 14.5" tall, 43" wide, and i'm not sure as 2 how much depth i'll need. I'm still in the process of learning how 2 calculate port size so assistance with this will be greatly appreciated. I currently have a blowthrough with a bandpass box formulated from Pete at hexibase. I've been trying 2 get him 2 help me construct a ported box but he's busy as hell and i've been trying 2 contact him for like 2 months with no reply. Can u guys possibly assist me? Thx alot.

Ok so my buddy is putting 2 old school JL W6 15's in his extended cab frontier. About how big should his box be, he wants to go sealed. And which way should the subs face? Towards the back of the seat or facing up??????

2 BTL 12's. The outside dims of the box are 17" tall x 24.75" deep x 33.5 wide. I am going to use a 8"pvc pipe and make my own flares but need help on length for 33htz tuning. Also with it being an 8 inch pipe do I have to have 8 inches from the back of the box to the end of the pipe? Also how long should the pipe be to be 33htz? Please help me with this.

I have a 97 accord sedan, I running a alpine hu I have 3 JBl BP series amps. the 80.4 for my highs and Im running the BP 1200.1 per sub. As for Subs, I have the MKII 12's Brahma's (2) in a 1.75 cubic feet box I think tuned an 30hz. I don't think it hits hard enough I haven't had it tested yet. Im looking for some suggestions for a new setup to get a deeper and harder bang. Could someone help with some ideas, even if I have to use the whole trunk im fine with it

Ok so i hear a lot "the bigger the box the better." Then some manufacturers recommend small boxes. So what is Correct? Also advantages to bigger ported boxes vs recommended size ported. Also what is a good tuning for ports, or what do you use?

hey i am tryin to get a mirror like finish with paint how can i do that ? what kinda paint do i need ? any suggestions im starting with mdf

I need some input from some SQ guys. It has a factory nav so options would be to swap out the factory headunit with an aftermarket and good equalizers. Or just add equalizers to the factory unit. All highs will be mounted in factory locations. Two eight inch subs will be molded where the back seats are located. The product list includes the following: two pairs Focal K2 power 100 KRS 4 inch components two Focal Utopia 21 Wx 8 inch woofers One Audison VRX 4.300 One Audison VRX 1.500 What would you consider the best way to go, money not being an issue.

Ok i have been competing in an 02 ford explorer (third gen) with two 12'' nightshades, 2 1500s, and a big ol battery box in the back.. sub up expernal aero ports back, i am looking at ways to make the vehicle louder not get more power as i am reaching my limitation running in MECA s2, anyone with any suggestions i am at a loss for ideas, also it has the third row seat which make the vehicle about a foot longer than the one without in 3rd gen models..

Crazy, stupid, or cool? Thinking about doing wall with 2 18's. Not for spl, just daily pounding.

I have a F250 Crew Cab and have 3 JL old 10w6s powered by a Diamond Audio D61000.1. They are in a 52" long box ported to 33hz. I want to get a 10" Fi BL and 1) wanted to know if this will hit harder that the JLs and 2) the box recommended for the BL is 1.5cubes, could I make a bigger box for the 10?

I used the SSA enclosure tool and just want to check and see if everything seems right This is going in a 99 civic sedan, SDC2.5 12". I have all this calculated for a net vol. of 2cuft and a gross of 2.65.....will that be good? Any recommendations for a better box for this sub? Outside dimensions: width=30 depth=15.5 height=14.5 For the port, tuned to 38Hz: width=2.5 height=13 L shaped so... L1=12.25 L2=1.5 and the enclosure tool says total port length is 18.25...is it calculating straight down the center? Area=32.5 displacement=602.875 in^3 or ~.35 cuft I'm really not too sure about the port.....also if i were to use winISD, what sub should i use for calculations or…

The SQ of the Qs are great but I want to know want the size and specs of a box that would maximize the dbs on daily music. I would think that the max ported box specs at 32hz would do that but would a smaller box be louder? And I know its "install dependent" but just want to see what others say.

I looked at a couple of websites but am still confused as to how to tune the port to the frequency you want. And how does the length, width, height of the port affect the tuning?
