SPL & SQ / Fabrication

hey guys, i recently took out my sub and amp because i needed the sitting space. my video pretty much explains what im looking ot do. any help would be appreciated!!

I was playing around i bbp6 and this is what i came up with, is this right or wrong? Optimum Square Prism Box Parts 1 Top, 1 Bottom: 13.27

i have a 12" FI Q w/ BP option in a 2001 jeep grand cherokee. powered by a SAE 1000D @ 1ohm. right now it's in a 1.5cuft (external before displacements) enclosure that i had the (horribly stupid) local audio shop make for me. i was short on time. i'll let you know dimensions of the room i have to work with. but there is basically as much room as you could ever need for a single 12. or i want it ported tuned to anywhere close to 32hz. so yea, have fun, keep in mind this is my first box. and i don't want it to be over (i believe) 16 inches. i just want it to stay below my rear window level. thank you so much i know it's not really hard. it's just a temp box to get some prac…

Where should i put the port? This is going to be in a blazer, and if back how much room should I leave between the port and tailgate?

Hey, this is what i got: 1x pioneer sub ts-w3002d4 @2ohms=1000rms QCA3500D amp; 2ohm=1750watts rms enclosure: 20"x16"x13" port size: 2"x11.5" everything on my car is stock and i think my amp is putting out a little less than what is rated performance wise, i dont think that my sub is performing like it should, my excursion is nothing compared to what I see on you tube and im not sure if it is because of my enclosure. I know that I can get better power if i upgrade wiring but I think I should be getting more out of what I already have. I want to try a different box, does anyone have any suggestions on sizez and I dont know much about tuning but im not getting high end …

ok so one night i was sitting around thinking up some new box ideas. i really want to have my sub facing forward into the cab of my car, and have the port be on top of the subwoofer. so i was doing some concepting and came up with this, Pdf of box idea. I just want to know if it will work before i start building i forgot to put notes so.... notes: 1. double baffle front plate 2. round port edges 3. 2.8 ^3 feet of airspace after all displacement 4. 3/4" mdf or particle board used. its going to be firing forward with the trunk sealed from the cabin. thanks, Anton Miller

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

Hey all... got another question here . If you use aero ports, is it possible to build the box smaller in relation to a box with slot ports, or is the port displacement the same for both types? Thanks

alright so i think im going to be mounting my future amp to the back of a seat. is that bad? and also what material is good so the amp doesn't rattle around.

im wanting to do a build using a mach 5 audio spl 12,sundown audio saz-3000d combo the question is ,will this be a good candidate for a mass loaded enclosure,or t box on the street. im very impressed with what peter w. kulicki has done with two soundsplinter rl-i 8s but i want to understand the enclosure more because id much rather build myself.

I have the Morel Dotech Ovation 6 two way set and was wondering if I could still use them to go three way sometime next year. I actually was thinking of using the Selenium 6 inch midwoofers as midrange or should I just get another midrange for this? I actually was told to use the Morel midrange but some say go with Hertz Audio midrange. What you folks think and I am going active with this in the future. Thank you.

this is what i got the box is 41''w--18''tall---26''deep--this is all outside --the port is 3.5''tall---27''wide---18''deep----i think i have like--7.75cf net--port tuned to--33hz--can someone tell me if this is right----the subs are the--FI BL 15''---i will have a---ia 20.1--on ea sub let me no what you think and if i need to do something about the box

im looking at my max dimensions and it looks like its going to be around 8 cubes and its most likely going to be tuned to 33hertz and i was wondering if thats too big? its a shared chamber subs and port up(going in a pickup)

There's a sanctioned USACI show about an hour and a half from here this weekend, thinking about entering in the "Consumer Q" class...anyone here have experiences with USACI SQ? I'm pretty sure the "Q" classes are just soundstage judging, no install, but I'm not sure. What are some things I should look out for so I don't get completely stomped? Thanks in advance.

Okay, so...I am going to start my build for two 15" fi bl's in the trunk of my 97 chysler sebring, I can not quite remember what specifications, but it will be about 7 to 8 cubic feet. I am not sure whether it would sound better with the port facing in side the cab or toward the opening of the trunk, the subs will be facing up, and about 30-32 hz. Any input would be appreciated Thank,

seen it a couple of times during my visits to select products site. anyone try this stuff? i am trying to get a better idea of the result i would get with it. my car has this felty suede material in the center console and ashtray area. is it similar to that? i was thinking of using it to line the bottom of the amp rack and wanted to know if it is decent or i should just do real suede?

I've got these comps installed in my jeep with the tweets mounted on the doors @ the front corner of the window. As of now I'm running a reference 500 to them but plan on switching amps in the very near future. even with the crossovers @ -6db the tweets sound way too high and ear piercing. Does anyone have any experience with these comps? Any suggestions on making them sound a little better?

Got a pair of MTX 8500 10"s that I am trying to sell (brand new in boxes still) but if they do not sell I am just going to use them. I am wondering what the best box style would be for a pair of these? I have pretty much unlimited space (Astro van) so that isn't an issue and they will be run on a XXX-6500D @ 2ohms so like 1500 each for burps, 700~ daily...

Can you order 1" MDF somewhere online? does home depot or lowes carry this? What about 1" birch plywood. I want strong but lightweight.

I have a question about ports. I am having finely decided to use round ports. But I have a problem; I have 8.89ft3 I want to tune around 38 Hz. The problem I run into is I need like 15’’ of port. The box is only 14’’ deep, going with 2 8’’ ports. So, can I bend the port with a 45? So it will make it in to the car with out a problem. If yes, do I have to add any thing to the length, or do I just cut the tube where it needs to be and add the 45 in between the cut peaces. Trunk setup subs up, port up going thought the rear deck.

As many boxes as I built, my mind went blank today. I am trying to build a 30in long port with 1 bend. Do I measure in the center of the corner or along the inside port walls? Someone help a mind blank guy out?!

Well i have this 8in sub laying around i was able to get a old school 160A2 rockford fostgate amp for $20 . I thought it would be best to build a box for it than to buy some cheap one so i could get all the bass i could from this little sub . So what i have in mind is building a ported box for best spl . This is going in the trunk of my mustang. But i cannot find any blue print for a small like 1.00cu or smaller enclosure . So if some one could give me some or just send them my way i would be very thankful.

Hello, I have a 15" Icon sub in a (about) 4 ft3 enclosure, tuned to 30something. The port is just a 6" round PVC tube. I know I have not enough port area. It sounds good But, with the same total volume, would it be better to make an enclosure with the kind of port I can see in all the pics here ? I don't remember the name, sorry! I want to get the best of my sub. (I listen to rap, r' n b and reggae, and I have a saz 1000 amplifier).
