SPL & SQ / Fabrication

I have one, and I believe the knob is dead, the light does not come on and I cannot control the unit from it, I dont want to send it into PG and have to pay 100 just for them to look at it, any ideas? or Dave could you take a look at it?

im really thinking about running some dc sounds gear 6 12's or 4 15's in a wall. what do you guys think of box/port sizes for a bass race set up? also does anyone have any spl numbers with there subs?

I just bought a 18" FI BTLN2 and was wondering what is the best way to build my box. It is going in the back of a '97 nissan pathfinder. I know you need 3/4" MDF for the box but can you use 1/2"? thanks

I am going to build a box for 2 18 bls and was wondeing if it would be better to build a slot port design or a rounded port out of like pvc or something.

I finished my fiberglass box yesterday for 1 15" icon yesterday, kinda anyway. Its a little on the small side at 1.8 cubes. I plan on adding some polyfill to bring it up to ssa's specs for 2-2.5 cubes. I just dont know how much to add, I have a 20 oz bag of polyfill at the house. Any advice?

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?

Hey guys I have all of my equipment just wantin to see if anyone here has experience with ext cab trucks. I have 2 Kicker CVX 15's goin in a Dodge Ram ext cab and I'm going to port them just can't decide where I need to face the subs and port. Can anyone help?

Pic 1 this is the front of the box that will be facing the front seats Pic 2 this is a view of the back/underside of the box. Pic 3 This is a back/side view of where the 4" diameter aeroports will go Pic 4 this is the other side The sub will be downfiring towards the back of the cab at an angle and im curious of how this will sound. im thinking that since the ports will be loading off of the door as well as the sub it should be a pretty loud design but i would like some opinions since im new to box building. i wasnt able to insert the actual image

I am wanting to try building a enclosure with a flared port and was wondering exactly how to do it if anyone can help with this i would really appreciate it.

My original box was the one recommended from ssa and it sounded good but the wife wants more space in the trunk so I have to do something different. So I need a box with less depth preferably ported still and a little longer tuned to 32hz. I don't understand how to use the box calculators I have found. Heres what I have to work with as far as area: 32"long x 16"high x minimum depth of the sub which i'm unsure of. The sub is 6" deep so I'm guessing a 1/2" more than that is minimum Basically I just need a longer less deep box that will still sound good. I listen to mainly rap/hiphop and some d&b. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i designs thes box a while ago and cant remember the specs. my patience have wore thin figuring out the specs, so would someone mind lending my a hand? i need to know the volume and the tuning of the box, (btw, if the width of the port is hard to read its 2 1/4'') thanks in advance

Building the box tomorrow. 2 JL w7 8 Inch subs (sold the 12's, these are to cool looking). Sealed or Ported? Used for Rap Music. These are each being powered by a JL 500/1 until I order Sundown Amps.

Ok i need some more help trying to figger out how big to make my port, it is for two sa-15's on the saz-1500d .v2 in a 97 Blazer. The box will be 19H, 38W, and 26D, subs up and port back. But i wanna put the port on the bottom centered and i was going to make the port. 6H, 20W, and 19L, but that didnt give me enuff port area and i want it somewhere between 32 to 38 or so Hz. So if someone could please help me out it would be much appreciative thanks.

so today i noticed my port feels like 80grit sand paper becouse i forgot to glass it will fiberglassing this thing give me gains??? its gata sound better right?

1. other than using the 16in per cube rule, how do you guys calculate how much port you need? and is this an accurate calculator? http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=31 2. how much port area do you need when using aero ports? same calculation? 3. when using a flared port, how do you calculate the tuning; for example, does the flared part of the port count towards its overall length? always tryin to learn new things here, thanks guys

hi, i planned to do a wall setup and the vehicle will be a 4-door Toyota Landcruiser. The wall will be as close as possible with the front seats but not up to compromising seating comfortably. How do you seal off the portion where there is window? i see that the front wall will be sitting halfway of the rear passenger door window. thanks

Someoneon here linked a tool that cuts PERFECT circles. It was an attacent for a drill. Had a shield to block the saw dust and everything. Can someone link it or find it? I'm on mobile and can't use the site so well

Just finished an install on my 95 probe. Put a DD 3515 in 3.5 cubic foot (after displacement) box with 2 - 4" aeroports at 17.75". Hooked to a RF 1000a2. Box is a standard CRX design. I've been toying with box placement and right now its sub up port to the side. Sounds decent, but a friend had this exact setup in his 98 Explorer and it was quite a bit better in there. So I'm assuming the problem is related to box design, tuning or placement. Any suggestions??

Ok, so my front stage is composed of a pair of MLI 6.5's in the doors, and a pair of Fostex FF85k's (3" full range) in the dash. What I am wanting to discuss is windshield reflections. Where my head is normally is a slightly nasty reflection point, not sure how this relates to phasing issues, reflections, and off axis response. I noticed this awhile ago when reaching for something across my car while listening to a CD and noticing the change as I moved my head across the car. The MLI's and Fostex's are crossed over at ~400hz with the amplifiers onboard crossovers due to the fact my DCX bit the dust. The amps that are being used are a PPI 4240 and a RF 450.2 Thoughts …

Hi guys, As the title says, i need a box for my sa-8 but i don't have an enclosure yet. I already saw this thread: But i wanted to get your opinion with this one: can you tell me which one is better? The only difference is the port area. The second one is bigger thus have a higher tuning. I listen to hip hop, rap music most of the time by the way. Any help/insight is appreciated. Thank you!

I am wondering if the Mach 5 SPL-12s would be any good in a T-Line? I have been told they should be good, but the fs is sorta high. I am planning on doing this with my camper shell but with a different box... the box can run the length of my truck... I plan to make up some metal frame for the box to sit on inside the bed. Having the box above the floor will give me room for my air ride when that gets installed..

hey im workin on my third box build and i want this one to be perfict i need help on the port i wanted it tuned too like 33 htz and i dont know how to caculate that can anybody help me if i give you box demention and mdf thickness ???
