SPL & SQ / Fabrication

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.

Hello all. I was hoping to get some advice from the SSA community. I have a 2009 Sierra Ext Cab. Currently for substage i am running a 18" Zcon and AQ2200d. The box is 6.6cu ft. net @ 28hz. with 112sq in port area. Sub is firing forward behind drivers seat, port is up. The whole truck has been deadened other than the roof (not too much flex). Pics can be seen im my build thread. Since the pics i have added the AQ2200d and changed the tuning from 34hz to 28hz with a port extension. (the port now fires up from the top front instead of the top back) Changing the tuning really helped with my lows but its still not quite where i want it to be volume wise. Some songs that slamm…

I have a 98 S10 single cab truck. just bought 2 10" sony xplods. model xs-gtx100lw. along with a sony xplod 800w amp to push them. I, however, can not find how much cubic feet the speakers need. and I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out with getting the best and most sound possible out of these speakers. I am going tomorrow to get the wood to start building a box. I am 6 ft tall so room is kind of an issue with scooting the seat up.

Just picked up a SA-8 v.2 and I need some help designing a box. Every design I find is for 2 subs, but I'm only going to be running one. This will be in a trunk car and powered by a DSC1500.1D. Maximum dimensions are 14" H x 36" W x 18" D

Hey guys, so my dad really wants an Image Dynamics 12 for Father's Day and I want to build him a box for it. It's going in a Honda CRX, and I want to try and load it off the rear hatch. I just need a simple sealed design and cut sheet. He's got 35"s between the two shock mount plastic panels and 28" from the open storage box to the back so space isn't an issue whatsoever, especially for a sealed box. Only thing important is that I want it fairly close to the 35" across so I can mount it right behind the storage tray angled back to the hatch class. Any help? Thanks a lot guys, and here are all parameters you might need http://www.imagedynamicsusa.net/files/59633398.pdf

Are there any pros and cons of having ports firing: the same directions as the subs, 90 deg off the subs, 180 deg off the subs?

So, I bought 2 12" DCONs and I'm currently building the box according to SSA's . I was wondering how I should go about building the front. Some websites suggest countersinking the subs so they are flush. I'm wondering what the correct design is for the actual SSA tech drawing. I'm sorry if this has been answered here before, I've searched and searched, but to no avail. I do plan on doing a build so that other people wont have much trouble. Thanks,

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

Hello, this weekend I hope to construct a center console for my truck. The vehicle is a 99 ram 1500 quad cab The box will take place of the center bottom seat cushion, allowing the top flip up portion to still be utilized as storage. The box will house 2 FI Q10 D2 subs with everything but high qts option The box dimensions are H:10" W:15" L:30" Box material will be 1/2 birch ply home depot project panels Box gross volume is 2.11 Port will be precision port dimpled inner + outer flare 4" diameter 24 inches long for a net volume of 1.67 cuft and port tuning frequency of 27.43Hz according to torres.

Has anyone done a build in a newer camaro?

How much will having a bend in a round port affect tuning & sound? Not talkin like 90's, maybe a 30-45 at most. Is there a way to compensate for it w/ length or something or just trial & error? Bigger port maybe? ie 5" port 30 deg bend compared to 3" port with same bend?

Hey does anyone have an SPL meter that they are selling? Or does anyone have one that lives near Akron or Cleveland Ohio that you could meter for me? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

I started my base mold about a week ago, and popped it out after the second layer. Right now im on my fourth layer for the base, and it seems to be getting really stiff. Probably going to end up doing 2 more layers. I have a question though, does fiberglassing polyiester rope to the inside of the box help stiffen it up? i thought I read about that on here but im not sure.

My buddy wanted to go from 2 12s to 1 12 in a sealed so I built him a box for free and he gave some cheapo 12" sub as a thanks. I would like to build a 4th order since I never have and see how loud I can get this guy for shits and giggles. Problem is I don't know where to start on designing one.

First off, hi...i just joined... I'm a complete audio noob... I'm looking to build a console/sub box for my 2007 Silverado... Its a reg cab with hardly any space behind the seats...so i want to take out my jump seat and build something... Here are the plans i sketched up... I basically want it to extend all the way to the dash... have a cup holder... and have the sub in the back, out of sight.... I will put a arm pad on top to rest my elbow... I'm not trying to beat this box out the frame or have a super loud setup.... I'm looking for looks/functionality/and bass to complete my setup...... Any criticism is appreciated....any thoughts or ideas let me know..... I don't k…

Hi guys, I'm in the process of thinking out my rebuild in my car. Here's the origiinal build thread: So I will be using the same subs, 2 18" Mayhems, I will be adding 2 210 amp alts, and Amp upgrade to give me 6Kw+ I want it to be loud and low, play the 25-40hz bracket sweetly, I dont really care outside that cos I dont ever play up above the 40hz range. all help appreciated guys Joe

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

not for sure where or when this happened, james herren sent it to my phone, hence the crappy quality. anyway, figured it would be good for some laughs. and yep, it's a 172.2db run. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

when i make enclosures all can make is sealed enclosures. but id like to start and learn how to make a ported enclosure. i kno theres alot that goes into making these awsome boxes. i want to know how do u kno where walls should go and how big ports should be. and basic stuff like that. this is my first ported box. i got a 10" jl w0 in a sealed box that im not using and wanna make a ported box for that. sounds great but i wanna learn how to make ported enclosures. so how do u do it without guessing? thanks.

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.

trying to decide on 2 different setups and basically, if you like loud (40hz area) but also don't wanna lose that low rumble in the 29-32hz area, what setup would be ideal? all ran off of a 5,000w amp 3 12" Fi Qs(BP option mandatory) Sealed in 4 cubes. 3 10" AQ-HDC3s ported at 37hz. I know that the 10s are louder but i have never done a setup of this magnitude and am wanting to know really, for someone who may have done something this loud before, what is your opinion on this? I know the sealed setup, i can get my lows just fine, will not be as loud as the 10s but is it gonna be very noticeable? Basically, i can give you a scenario- If i set SSF to let's say to start roll…

How do you find or know your vehicles peak frequency? And how much high or lower than that should you tune you box for spl applications? I drive a 06 silverado extended cab.
