SPL & SQ / Fabrication

Ok i'll prolly do this some time this week or next week. But basicly to put that port in the deck like you guys where saying i would just have to find the total Cu. ft of the whole box. And plug my information into this handy dandy online calculator. http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=31 and i should be fine right? not tuning this thing is gonna be hard as hell.lol I already know the length is gonna be like 40in long. but i can make it smaller if need be. And i'm gonna guess and say about 17cu ft. only thing is since its a daily driver and i want to use it for comps, how can i tune it? I mean 45 sounds like a good start, but for daily i dont want it that high, …

Ok so I am going to build my 3rd sub box and i want to know how to cut the bracings and that stuff. And how to port/tune you box. I am going to put it in a car and i want the sub facing upward and the port too. I do not want an L ported i want like square type one. My sub is a 12 Fi SSD. I want it to use half of the trunk but not be so tall just like an inch after the sub fits. But mainly i just want to learn how to do square ports. Any help plz.

alright guys.. what are some good ways to carpet ur boxes.. like techniques.. or whatever.. what matterials do i need to use besides carpet haha ..

alright ive came to the conclusion that with school and measly allowance i dont have the time or money to get into the really competitive comps, but i remeber hearing that some compitions have std size truck divisions if thats true how is that division broken up? if there is such a division im going to try and be running 2 SS rl-i8 around 800 watts rms (if youve seen my newb sign in you know why i have to try). do comps break down divisions by power number of speakers size of speakers....thanks sorry according to my eng4 teacher i have horrible paragraph structure and sentence flowing skills

My guages in my car are digital LCD. They are a teal color now and I'd like to change them to green. Can this be accomplished?

I want to build a box for my 2 12's. I want it to be ported but I'm having a really hard time finding a diagram or blue print. The recommended enclosure according to the website is .5 to 1 cu ft. Kinda confused as to what that means.

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

I have 2 sd1v2 10" running on a 1000d. I like the sd1v2s and all but want a little more. Anyone experienced Kicker CVTs. If so will they hit harder than these sundowns? The sd1v2s are sq's, are the CVT's straight SPLs?

well i got the expo to wang finally. its go the 4 PG 15's and about 3 grand in watts for the subs and the windshield wipers are now jumpin off the window and it feels liek your in a wind tunnel. I smile every time i get in it and blow my ear drums out with it. what? huh ? what??? dude i cant hear you speak up. Slayer sounds really good in it too. but i gotta love jammin some ying yang too. it will be at the march 27th import life tour at COBO hall in detroit. so if you can, be sure you guys get out there to check it out. Its ugly but it wangs. Im working on the fiberglass install still the guy that was going to do it went out of business. so theres a new cat gonna make…

Does anyone in the eastern North Carolina area make kickpods or know someone who does? I'm not terribly skilled with fiberglass.

Im gonna be getting my 15" custom juggernaut back from PSI soon and i was gonna build a reg ported box 4.5 cu 35 hz first, but i am kinda dabbling with the idea of a 4th order. ive tried looking up some info but so far i just have spent alot of time and still dont know that much about them. any opinions, advice or tips is appreciated. im mostly looking to figure out what the method is on figuring out how many cubes you need inside the sealed area, and how much you need in the ported area and what you port it to, and why you port it at that hz. im planning on building multiple boxes for this sub to figure out what i like best

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…

Vehicle : 2002 Toyota Avalon XLS Location in the vehicle: Trunk with rear armrest access port Space available (Length x Width x Height): 22"x42"x16" Subwoofer make and model: SSA XCON 12 D1 Number of Subwoofers: 1 for now. Type of Port (Kerfed, Slot, Aero, etc.): Kerfed would be optimal, Slot if not kerf. What type of music do you like?: Electronic, Drum n Bass, Classic Rock, Alternative, Rap, Hip-Hop, R&B. Is your goal SPL or Everyday Music?: Everyday Music geared towards SQ Tuning Freq (Hz): 28-30 or so Volume : 2.5-3.0 Questions: 1. I plan on only giving about 600-1200w by a Crescendo BC2000D, should I have the volume of the box be closer to 3.0 to maximize effici…

how much do you think a setup like this would cost i just want a wall going across my trunk (for 2 12" RL-P's) like in the pictures and maybe when i fold down my seats ill put some plexiglass so you can look at the subs but if it costs too much then its out of the question

ok so i really dont trust most of the box calcs. online so i've been researching formulas and anything i need to know about designing on my own. so anyone with advice please put in your two cents..... tell me if i got this much figured out: 1). to come up with the ft^3 of the box you multiply length x width x height using the inner dimensions. then take the total of that and divide by 1728 which is the in^3 of 1 cubic ft. 2). then to factor in port, bracing, and driver displacement you use the L x W x H on each item and subtract it from the ft^3 3). for box's with a slanted front. for example the top is 5" and the bottom is 15" you find the average of them by adding them…

I'm looking for someone whos got a TL anywhere in wisconsin or near illinois border.

I have made a ported box just over 1 cubic foot. This is for a 400rms, 10 inch sub. For a 2.5 inch wide pipe, I need 11 inches long for a 32 hz tune. IS IT OKAY TO USE 2 PORTS? and what type of pipe do I get? Can I just run to home depot, find a strong looking 2.5inch wide pipe, and go from there? and are 2 ports okay to use, even if there the same length?

i need to build a box around 2 cubic feet tuned at 33 htz with a maximum height of 17 inches, does this look right? also, sub up/port back or sub/port both back?

im would like to know if port are is THAT important. freind of mine has a BL 12, he wants to buy a box that another friend built, but the port area is under 12 sq inches per cube. the sub that was in the box before sounded pretty good. just wondering if the port are being a lil small is restricting output or SQ in any noticeable way. its off by like 8 sq inches. thanks

This guy is nuts. Many of you have probably already seen this but it was my first time coming across it... Dodge Sprinter

Alright guys here it goes... Trial 2! for my woofer box.... My current design is 31.5w, 22d and 16.5t. I don't remember the wood thickness but I found a scratch paper and I only made my box 3.5cuFt... Which is the smallest they recommend for a level 5 15". Why I did that? I have no bloody idea.... Anyway I re measured and I can add a little more to the box -- roughly 2.25 inches on top, and 7.5 inches on width. I would like to try and reduce the dept the most I can because as of right now I cannot fit more than one battery back there. I would like to be able to lay my amp down nice and neat and have the bat next to it. I will be trying to design my own again but I woul…

This is going in an RX8. Looking for a fairly good ground pounder with the ability to upgrade to 4 SA8's in the near future. Not sure This design has enough port area. Don't do too many ported boxes and would like to make sure before I waste the time building. Will be powered by a Sundown 2000D. Link to pic of enclosure I had worked up.:

First post, Please bare with me. I did a search but didn't find what I was looking for. 2005 Ram 1500 Quad Cab My truck is all set-up with highs, deck, EQ, Kicker ZX.1000 amp (~1150W @ 2ohms). Looking to run a 12" BL Dual 1Ohm. I listen to mostly rap and hard rock, looking for a good box for the daily driver, I'd say mostly rap, real deep lows but I'd still like to hear the kick drums. I've never built a custom box before; I'm looking at 2.0 ft3 slot ported box @ 32hz. Will this limit the sub from reaching its full potential? The amp puts out real good clean power, I'd like the best possible box for my truck. Are there any pre-built boxes that will work well with …

The vehicle is an '89 mustang (hatch). Im wanting to keep the enclosure at right around 10 cubes to keep my imp rise at about one ohm but want a different port placement. it is possible that this may just be a wall but im looking for the best gains, what should i do? the build is with four FI SSd 12's thanks guise.
