SPL & SQ / Fabrication

hi all i recently purchased a fi q 18 to go in my 95 4 door explorer and now i need to come up with the plans for the box so i can start building. my maximum dimensions for the box are 40 wide by 40 deep by 22 high. i am a some what skill full carpenter but i need help in the tunning area. also if anyone has a similar setup to what i will have and still has the plans lying around i would greatly appreciate it or if someone could use or tell me where i can find a box calculator to spec out this box that would also be greatly appreciated. oh and lastly i am open to using a t line but would need the plans to build one. …

i was looking at the 6x6 in aero ports at parts express but the only boxes ive ever built have been slot ports so i dont know anything about it, how much air do they displace?, or how do i get a turning freq. with them, and just the basics i quess? idk thanks for any help guys

i've posted this in other forums too, im just trying to get as much input as possible. this is for tc3000 12"dvc. several experienced people have recommended around 2 cu, but i've done some more reading and it seems that they recommended for SPL purposes, you want to use a large enclosure and port. But im not going all out SPL, i just want a REALLY LOUD daily setup, so im just going to experiment and try something in between. I've decided to go ahead and try 2.75 @ 33. i chose to use 15.5 sq in per cu ft since 15 and 16 seems to be the commonly recommended multiplier; the port area comes out to about 42.62 sq in. my max height is 13.5 so my width is about 3.157. i used th…

2 12" type r's 1000wrms Sorry about crappy pic, its with the cell phone.

If you had an enclosure for 2 12" subs with 2.2 cubes ea, with individual airspaces could u build a common port to split between the 2? or if you had a common port area would the enclosure have to have a common airspace for the subs as well?

2 12" type r's need dimensions (height and length) finishing the box tomorrow. One single square port. Tuning box to 33-37hz, probaby about 35. Box is 37x26x13 with .75" particle. Subs are facing up.

my friend is getting a 10" type R (powering it with a kicker 400.1). he's trying to keep the box as small as he can so i was thinking about using a flare tube port for the box. what diameter should we be looking at? any suggestion? (sub isnt purchased yet. but i havent seen anything better for 100 bucks shipped) edit: damn i think i put this is wrong section... please move if it is

Ok, so i have the planned dimensions and i need help calculating the port and seeing if this box is ok? Two Alpine type r 12's will go into it facing towards the roof of the vehicle. Length (Depth) = 26" Width = 37" Height = 13" So what should the port calculate to? According to the re box calc. they say the port length is 34.75". Is this correct? I'm usin .75" MDF of course.

Thought we could make one of these. Post up your SPL#'s car: Electrical: Amps: Subs: Box: Mic: Tone: Score: (legal or outlaw)

If I can get enough interest I will be doing an IASCA judge training April 11th and 12th in Santa Rosa. I need to get judges up there before I can have a good amount of shows. If any of you are interested in attending a judge training in Santa Rosa please email me at [email protected]. The training is $100 for both days. It includes a full year of membership in IASCA (which is normally $60). Even if you just want to compete the judge training is a great way to get a full understanding of the IASCA rules. When you consider that you get the membership it boils down to $40 for 2 days of SQ instruction. Schedule is: April 11th 9am-5pm -IASCA philosophy -IASCA classes and …

Ok, now, i need someone to DESIGN me a sub enclosure for a FI BTL 15" Ported ~34 hz cant be more than 16.5 in tall, 34 in wide, 18 in deep..... shouldnt need to get that big now.... I love google sketchup, so if someone whipped it up on there, then i would be forever gratefull thanks for anything...

So, i want to build a custom box for a Range Rover classic, LWB Box is for two 12" Alpine Type R's. I want the subs facing towards the roof and the port facing the rear of the vehicle, the "classic" SUV style. Although, the truck comes with a stock cover over the very rear, i want the box to be underneath that, so when i park i can cover the stuff up and keep people from wondering around the car. What wood should be used? Also, any special tricks with making boxes? I will provide picks tomorrow if needed.

car- lexus gs300 music- hip hop and rap sub- audioque sdc2.5 12 amp- jl audio 500/1 max height- 14.25 port tuning- figured 38 max depth- 14.125 max length- 31.125 using .75 thick mdf i get roughly 2.75 cubix feet.. so i figured with sub displacment and port i would be at about 2.5 which is what audioque is the biggest i should run the box.. now with the port i put in 2 inches wide by 8 inches tall and i would need a port length of 7.51 inches.. now my question is does all that sound about right? should i have the port longer? when i did the port at 14.25 tall and 2 inches wide it said i needed a port length of 14.71.. basically just looking for some advice on what to do…

i have a 92 s10 blazer and i want to put a single 15" sundown d2 and i want to build a spl box but i will use this as a daily driver does anyone have blueprints or pics of any boxes for this setup?

i talked to my cousin earlier and he was explaining different box designs to me, he said that he had a box that was a cross between a t-line and a horn design box, he sent me an attatchment w/ pictures of the different types but i cant find formulas anywhere, i used the search but none of the links for formulas worked so i was hopign someone could help me out... thanks

I did search 'box carpet',and you'd be amazed (sarcasm) how much those two words are used on this forum. lol, i went through about 15 pages and found some good info on where to get it,but i still have one question. A lot of people said they got their carpet from a hobby store,and i'm just curious what kind of carpet to look for when i get there. I could be wrong, but i don't see them having "sub enclosure carpet", so i really just need a name to call it... If i can't find it at a hobby store, i guess partsexpress.com is the next choice ($5.85/yd... much better than crutchfield's $30 for 3yds.)

Hey guys, I am gonna start a few projects and try and glass a few things, I want to put 2 8's on my rear deck and something upfront to put the tweets on the dash. I can't put them in the A-Pillars so I was going to put them in the corners of the dash and I want them to look clean. I was wondering what kind of resin and bonding agent? I think you mix the resin and something else before you put it on the fabric, I read about it a while ago and I will go over it again because I don't remember much. Just thought some of you guys would have some tips on how to do this... I've got some pretty good ideas to actually design it but I will touch back to see if it is plausible... …

this will be going in a '06 gmc ext. cab 4 door.im not walling it. 2 21" DP's.ill log everything and put it up on here as well as ROE maybe even Classifiedzz.but i need to work some kinks out of it first DP 21

Well heres the plan. Thats the rear window in my cab. thats the front window in the fiberglass camper shell... I plan to take out both windows and run a gasket between the two. I've heard that you use some kinda RV gasket... what is it called? As far as I know I'm going with two IXL-12s and a 2500D. Would 3/4 MDF be thick enough (Rona has no 1").. I didn't check any other stores.

I got 4th in 139.9 after busting out against alpine. But I got to take Bill out in round 1 so that made my day 1-6th place finishers in 139.9 all qualified with a perfect score My scores for the day, 145.0 windows up 145.8 windows down 146.6 drivers down All on music (jeezy, ~40hz) Thanks DC for making a lvl 4 strong enough to hold 2800w rms -Derw

I was looking at the 4" flared port tubes. I don't know too much about them but how do you find tuning for your box with them? And how much do they displace?

I'd appreciate any help you guys can give me on this.... I have a 12'' Nightshade on the way and need some help with the enclosure. I currently have a 10'' Fi BL in 1.6 cubes tuned to 35 hz in my reg cab Ranger. I know it isn't the prettiest thing in the world, but it's the optimum size for the 12'' Nightshade and I'd like to re-use it. My first problem is the mounting depth.....I'm going to have to add some spacer rings to allow the Nightshade to fit depth wise and obviously I'm going to have to increase the cutout to allow a 12'' 12 spoke basket to fit. I wanted to ask you guys what would be the best way to go about this? Should I make a few circular spacers around the…

I have been to the 2 local (small ) car stereo shops in the area and neither have RTA. Anyone have any suggest to get a reading of my system. Would love to be able to get it tuned up

Hey, im about to build a box for my buddy and i wanna get around 4 cuft. per sub after all displacements. Again they're two cvr 15's. I was thinkin somewhere around 14 inches of port area per sub per cubic foot of volume and im planning on tuning the box around 35-38 hz. so (14 x 4) + (14 x 4) = 112 inches of port area I've build a ported box for an Fi Q15 and i had it tuned to 33hz but it sounded like it was tuned very low once it was inside of the truck. And i have read that when the box is intstalled in a vehicle the tuning frequency of the box drops about 5-7hz because of the resonant frequency of the vehcile? So im trying to account for this with this box i'm b…
