SPL & SQ / Fabrication

Alrighty, I think I have the new design down. Going to be 4 Se 12' in 8cu.'s after displacements. Powered by 2 SAZ-1500's strapped tuned to 35hz. After doing alot of reading,searching, and math I have come to this: 3 6" aero's ( around 92 sq.in. of port total) for a length of each port to be 18.94"(19.94 overall). Should I have more or less port? I have read and searched through quite a bit of the posts. Some of the math and that calculators I have used said I need around 138sq. in. of port. But I have read that when using aero's you may only approx. need 2/3's of that. So with that in mind what's your opinions. If this is wrong can you point out some more pla…

Ok outa all my yrs of car audio i've never had a problem like this. It all starts i'm drivin and i goto turn the bass up and it plays for a while then cuts off. SO i'm like no bigE mayeb a fuse or bad connection. But i'm like lets test it so i turn off the HU and turn it back on and the system cuts back on. Turn it up again and the same thing happens so no i'm thinking bad connection somewhere. So next day i look at all the wiring and nothing seems to be a problem. I cut it on and it plays normal. I goto close the trunk and it cuts off. lol So i check erething again it looks fine but now a constant bass note plays wt the music even if you turn it down it continues to pul…

yes guys, as the title says's how in your opinion would you brace this box? here's a link since i can't post pics here: http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/4/487885.html

My frnd recently accuired two RFP3SD subs but my knowledge on box design for these shallow subs are limited. Please help me with box capacity and tuning(ported). I know normal RF subs like a bitt of high tuning but for these ...i have no clue if they will like it to be different. His goal is to squeeze it in a GETZ so space is a problem, if one will fit better, we might just go that way but he refuses to change subs so ill try and get this working for him. He want it loud with a bit of oomf but IDK so would appreciate your imput. Thanks guys.

I need help with designing an aero port enclosure. This is my first attempt. I am looking for 2.5 net and tuning 32hz, With corner bracing. I would appreciate all help I can get! Thanks.

Uh its me again this time instead of an extreme i need a box for a kicker comp 12inch 4 ohm sub that will be going in the back of my explorer i have tried my best with the messurements but i am new to this it is 38'' inches tall, 42'' inches wide, and 38 inches long it's not the best sub in the world so the demenions do not have to be perfect just a simple design would work for me........ just send me a message on here....... if you can.......

So i'm trying to "model", if that's the correct term, a subwoofer in WinISD and BBP6 as a comparsion between the programs.. They both tune the enclosure super low. WinISD picks a net volume; BBP6 didn't have a specified net volume. Neither suggest port area.. Whats going on? EDIT: BBP6 tuned to 23 Hz (super low), WinISD tuned to a reasonable 34 Hz (but net volume was like .5 cuft)

guess i am looking to do a 1.5 tuned to 34 hz with the sub pointing up. I have a 4" aero port that i would like to use. i would like to keep the depth at about 15" if possible. any help would be great.

so within this next week i plan on getting an Fi Q 18 with the BP. Itll be powered by my elemental design nine.1 (and from reading through these forums, noone seems to like ED, but this is the amp im sticking to) and im guna be wiring the sub down to 1ohm. my enclosure is going to be in the ballpark of 4.5 cubes in my '01 extended cab ranger...but this time i want to go ported, and this WILL be my first ported box (and my 4th setup period) i want to do aero ports, but im still having a hard time trying to figure out how to get port dimensions and etc. and idk what to really tune it to either....i guess around 30hz or so and if it helps, i listen to rap (and country, but t…

I have a 4 cubic foot box that i would like to install two 4" pvc ports in... How do i go about figuring it out?

ive seen sum all plexi glass boxes and there pretty sick. how do u make one? wat would u use to seal it together and how would it sound?

hey i wanna enter iasca rookie competition but the sub im using is a 15" atomic apspl15, in the category im only allowed 1 4" aero port, what size box should i use and what length port, the car is a mazda protege5, right hand drive cause im from trinidad, the amount of power is 1500 watts, the box will have to make high spl while playing music since in this category you are only allowed to test with music

Where I work we have this non-flexible polymer composite called synthane and it comes in 4X8X3/4 sheets. Now I was wondering if this woould work for a box? I mean in theory it should, its dense and non flexible. I was just wondering if anyone has ever head of this material. I highly doubt its ever been used as in a box, I would imagine its very expensive.

Hi there, hope it s not too early to start asking for help. I've got 2 RE XXX v3 18s but running only 1 @ the moment cause there is no room for 2 so I m getting them resized to 15s. Could somebody please help me with the design of a enclosure for 2 RE XXX v3 15s??? external measurement would have to be max. W 36 H 24 D 28 Dropping low but musical ... Thank u in advance, Andre

Ok, this is giving me a headache... I dont know the exact volume of the box but it's somewhere between 12-13.5 cuft NET or it should be... This is what i've got and cant figure out why... I had a port 25.5" long that peaked at 50hz. I then had a port 22.25" long that peaked at 51hz I then had a port 20" long that peaked at 52hz I then had a port 18" long that peaked at 53hz I then had a port 16" long that peaked at 54hz The port extends through a double baffle (1.5" thick) and sticks out of the box 5" I always cut off the port length on the INSIDE of the box and retest. My peak frequency is 50hz. My LOUDEST port test was at length - 20" which peaks at 52hz but is loudest…

I'm going to be purchasing a table saw in the near future. My question is: how big do I need? The only local place to buy MDF in my area only sells in 4x8 sheets, so I'd have rinse this saw with that initially. I found a nice looking one at lowes for $150. It's a 10". I don't know what the 10 inches refers to.. Would that be big enough to get the job done on a 4x8 sheet of MDF? If not, what about 4x4? I think lowes can cut the sheets in half for me.

I know port tuning makes a difference. And I know what the differences are, but would there be an audible/easily noticeble difference between 30hz and 34hz tuning? For the larger amount of port area I want for my smaller box, I would have to tune around 34hz, instead of the 30hz I wanted to tune at.

ok so im ordering a z15 hopefully tomorrow if my dam taxes show up and i would like to have the box built and bolted in my car b4 the sub arrives. now my question is should i go sealed or ported to move a ton of air and have alot of feel to it? btw its going in the backseat of a 76 caprice. and the next thing how can i get box dimension? sealed wouldnt be hard to figuer out but if i should go ported ill need some assistance. recomended sealed is 2.5 cubed and ported is 3.5 cubed tuned to 30 hz. thanx in advance for any help

Anyone ever used plum ceek Mdf to build a box out of? I was thinking of trying some.

Okay I am looking for some help in this forum because I am loosing hair over this. I currently have a system in my ride and it is progress though. Eclipse CD 5030 ARC AUDIO KS 300.2 MOREL DOTECH OVATION 6 ARC AUDIO KS 500.1 MINI DIAMOND AUDIO D3 15 Now first things first the KS 300.2 is powering the components at 180 x 2 @ 4 ohms The KS 500.1 Mini [500 x 1 @ 2 ohm] is powering the Diamond Audio D3 15 [1.75 sealed enclosure]. Anyways looking to swap out the Diamond Audio D3 for a Fi Audio sub most likely the SSD 15. I was told to get a single dual 1 ohm sub and wire it in series to make it a 2 ohm sub. Anyways I have a pair of Selenium 6 Midwoofers that are 8 ohm and mo…

i need help in making a ported box for a re xxx 12" v4 for a vauxhall astra sxi 52 plate could any one please help me

currently i have a 2.5cuft box tuned around 33hz with a 1300.1 percision power amp running at 1 ohm. i have just installed a pair of polk components in the front with a powerbass 2ch giving each side about 100rms. so now the sub isnt the main part of my system like it was before when i only had 30rms to the front doors that would get un audible when the sub hit. the idea for the new box is about 4cuft tuned around 28hz or so. my biggest question is how big should my port be? what are the advantages of 12" vs 16" per cube? would 12" be more snappy vs a 16" which would move more air? currently the box is directly behind the drivers seat with the sub and port facing the dr…
