SPL & SQ / Fabrication

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??????

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 ?

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.

It's for real

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?

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.

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

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?

I just recently bought a FI Q 12D1. I'm looking to have someone build me a box, but he recommended i get him some port specs. I wanna go 2.3Cu FT and tuned to 33 hz. Anyone know how to get the length/depth of the port? I'm completely new to ported boxes, any help is greatly appreciated.

I remember reading somewhere about the relationship between a box's port area and potential output. The reason i ask is i have been looking at the IXL drivers from Mach 5 and in order to tune low in such small boxes the port needs to be quite large in order to avoid port noise. I was looking at a 2cf box with a fairly large port (roughly 50 inches) my question is will such a large port casue a loss in output? i was looking at tuning at 30Hz for a daily setup that would hammer out the lows. Is there a general rule of thumb regarding port size compaired with box volume? Could someone point me in the right direction (i haved tried to search) I was hoping some of the experie…
