SPL & SQ / Fabrication

I am looking for someone in the Portland area to build a box for me. I am very capable but don't have the tools at the moment. I have the design. It a pwk. For 2 12's with a 6" aero. I don't trust the dealers out here, plus they'd want too much $$$.

Hey guys. i just purchased a 15" Fi.BL sub and before it gets to my house i was hoping to get a box design built. I am fully cabable of building anything i just need some help and advice designing it or possibly have someone design it for me. So heres what i got.. Vehicle : 2004 Chevy S10 ZR2 ext cab Location in the vehicle: in the cab behind the two seats (sub up, port up) Space available (Length x Width x Height): 45 x 18 x 28 Subwoofer make and model: Fi.BL D2 Subwoofer Size: 15" Number of Subwoofers:1 Type of Port (Kerfed, Slot, Aero, etc.): slot What type of music do you like?: mostly rap. i listen to a lot of decaf. Is your goal SPL or Everyday Music?: my goal is …

should i face my subs and port into the car or both to the rear. these are not the only two options but im looking for the best way to get the best sq for a daily driver.

I'm trying to figure out my next box. The program I'm using is tells me that my port will be 5Tx10Wx17.5D. Now how much of an effect will it have if I was to change the opening to 3.5Tx11.5Wx17.5D?? I'm looking to tune it to 34Hz. Thx from the help.

I need to know how many tubes I would need and what length and what diameter opening to reach like 30hz in 3 cubes... with at least 36-48 square inches of port. And I also need to know the displacement of these I can't seem to figure it out.

I came across a thread on here where a guy cut slices into one side of a sheet of MDF and then he bent it into a tube! I can no longer find it and i wanted to get a better look at it because i was thinking of using this technique! Does anyone remember where this is? or does anyone remember seeing this? Please post a link to this thread! It would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!! <<<<HAHAHA

Can anyone make one for me? I'm not very good with sketchup or the cutlist plugin.

I'm thinking about doing something that I've only see Steve Meade do, on a much larger scale. I want to build a small setup to just listen to music in the garage with. I have a cheap set of Pyle component speakers that I can use.. I'd like to build a ported enclosure like this. They would be ran off of a really old 100 watt 2 channel Pyramid amplifier. I do not plan on adding a subwoofer to the setup, just this set of components. Since this old amp doesn't have any sort of SSF, HPF, or LPF, it's playing a full range. I will have a crossover for the tweeter, but the woofer will be seeing even subsonic frequencies. I'm thinking about using 1" PVC for a port tuned around 40h…

im building my third box but first wall and i always wonderd if when i calculate the cubic feet of the box do i subtract the port cubic feet??? i have come up with a box thats 17.5cf but the port is 2.4cf and each woofer is .25cf so its like 14.6cf .please some one correct me if im wrong im not to sure

I'm gonna build a new box for two 12's and was thinkin about porting it through the rear deck with two 4" ports with the subs at an angle to the back.What do yall think about that?

I just picked up a NIB sw9122 and all that was in the box was 1 page of the owners manual and the mounting hardware. So I need to know what works good for a ported enclosure? How many cubes, freq., and port area? It will be running off a Audio Art 100hc, so in the neighborhood of 1000W. I am thinking somewhere 2-2.25^3 ported to 32hz but not sure on port area, seems this sub will move a lot of air.

A buddy of mine wants me to build him a subwoofer box for two 12's in his Ford Ranger Edge. Now he is taking out all of his rear seats which gives me a good chunk of space to work with. I know how to build and design an enclosure, all i really need to know is subwoofer/port orientation. Havent made an enclosure for a truck like this and I dont have the time to build multiple enclosures and test them all out so I was hoping this could save me some time. -Mike

Well, here we go, I've created this in an attempt to make a tool that can help take the guess work out of all the difficult to figure on a calculator values we constantly figure for box building. I think this is a decent tool and that it could work for alot of us. I'm putting it out here for all to try and give it some real world tests. Let me know if you guys find anything wrong with the sheet just let me know I'll do my best to fix it. So here ya go, we'll try this link out first just copy/paste: =http://www.mediafire.com/file/ugzuqj4mzjw/Box Calculator.xls=

Here is an idea i am throwing around for my 99 neon... 5.25 component set up front for the hi/hi-mids have 6x9 holes in the rear deck, but will enlarge them slightly to encompass 8"(7.25 cutout) midbass drivers 50-200 hz response.. then have 2 12's in aported box in the trunk Is this a sound design to put the midbass on the rear deck?? I have read numerous things about running mono for the rears/keep away from highs back there cuz it moves the center image backwards types of things... Also is this going to be terrible placement for the "free air" midbass speakers on the rear deck having their back wave interfering with the sub output... (really the rear deck is the only p…

Hey fellas. What's going on? Alright, heres the deal. I picked up another CVR, so I am now in the process of deciding what I want to do with the new box for the 2 CVRs. This setup is going to be a pure daily driver, no competing or anything. I listen to all rap or hip-hop. Now, I emailed Kicker and asked what they thought the best daily driver box would be and they sent me some specs that ended up being tuned to around 40 hz. I thought 40 hz is pretty high for daily driver tuning. I PM'd Polecat and he said that 40 hz would be good and that I wouldn't lose much low end and that it would get loud and sound musically good. My current box for my single CVR is 34 hz and I am …

just double checking my calculation my box is 2.42ft3 after displacements and the port is 3.5"w by 13.5"h by 42" long my tuning should be 32-33hz im i right at all?

I am going to start on this project very soon so I thought I'd start planning right now.. Here is what I wanted to do.. I did not want to sacrifice my whole cargo area so I got my sub box made to take up only half of the whole cargo space so I can have half of the space to store things or whatever.. And then I realized that I have no place to mount my kicker 2500.1 which is a fairly large amp so I decided that I would want to build a false floor with plexiglass on the other half of the cargo space in front of my subwoofer box.. (as of now my amp is sitting on my rear seat folded down (i definitely do not like it at all and I do not want to mount my amp on the sub box as …

i was wondering if anyone could help me with some plans for a box, for my 15" its an alpine type-r. i no, not the greatest. but its my 1st sub. the opening on my trunk is about 41" by 18" also i have a picture, if that helps.

So i was trying to look for some pictures of a box terminal made out of ring terminals, nuts , and bolts. So i can have a idea on how to do it. Thanks.

I plan on walling off my 00 Grand Am soon with 2 18XXXs (05 model) and I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I have a couple measurements... 41w x 34d x 34h That's the external (gross) measurements. I plan on tuning it around 30hz. I was also wondering where to put the port. This will be my semi daily driver (I have 2 vehicles), and I am not looking to hit any high numbers. I want this thing to get loud and low. Also any kind of tips/pictures/diagrams/explanations/ect. for a wall and dancefloor would be greatly appreciated. And yes, I have put some effort into this by reaching out and contacting many people so please do not respond in here if I have already …

Alright, well, for a build I am going to be doing I can choose between 2 4" aeroports, or 1 6" aeroport. When I put the 6" into WinISD it tells me a length of 23.25" is needed for my tune. And when I enter 2 4" ports it tells me I need a port length of 21.5". Now, is that a combined length between the two ports? Or does each one need to be 21.5" ?? Thanks for your help.

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 found a formula that seems to work at http://www.caraudio911.com/ under designing a ported box. But I was wondering why on step four they say to subtract half the port width from the port lenght to get your physical port lenght? When I made my box I dont think that I did this so I may be building a new one if this is important. I was also wondering if this formula works or has been used by anyone here?
