I want to design a ported enclosure with one DD9512g to put in my single cab chevy 1500. I want it to be loud, but also as musical as possible. I have about 3.3 cuft to work with. The enclosure is going to be a center console enclosure. If I find the frequency which my vehicle peaks at, will this help me choose my tuning frequency of my enclosure?

Do you guys think an 8" aero port would be enough port area for 2 12" zcons? They would be in about 6 cubic feet after displacements. On around 3500 rms. Tuned around 34hz. I want to go with a 10" port but an 8" would be a lot easier since I'm only going to have about 36" for the width. You think I should test it out and try or do you thinks its forsure not enough?

I just recently bought a FI Q 12D1. I'm looking to have someone build me a box, but he recommended i get him some port specs. I wanna go 2.3Cu FT and tuned to 33 hz. Anyone know how to get the length/depth of the port? I'm completely new to ported boxes, any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone. I've got a 99 dodge 1500 regular cab. I built a box to go behind the seats that was about 2.4 cubes and had a 3" aero port, loaded with a Fi Bl 12. I resently bought a DP 12 and it is quite a bit louder than my Fi, but I know it can get louder. I'm building a complete fiberglass box to replace this one, and it will have the same basic layout, but I'm putting in a bigger port. I've got a 4" and a 6" aero port. So my question is, which would be a better combo: DP with 4" aero port, or DP with 6" aero port? I can possibly fit either one, but I want to know which one would be better for me. My music style is rap just because of the bass, and I LOVE the lows, and…

Building a box for wife's 2010 Jeep Wrangler 4 door. Leaning more towards a sealed box, but I can be convinced otherwise! Prefer SQL, then SPL. 12" GCON dual 2 ohm running off channel 5&6 on Leviathan amp. Size is not a big concern, but retaining the most possible usable space is warranted with the kids, their activities, and associated gear. I can figure out the dimensionson a sealed box, but haven't played amounted with ported dimensions yet. Outside of the build specs I have a couple of questions: Should I poly fill, or not, and if so, how much? I've read on the Jeep forums that down firing is preferred. Any special considerations going this route? Should I resi…

I am almost done putting together the box, and someone pointed out that the opening looks a smaller than the other opening. I went out and measured it and realized that I made it 20.5 width from side to side of the port, and 22 length. It was supposed to be the other way around tuned at 33hz. Will this mess it up too much? Is there anything I can do to fix it? What would the tuning be at? Will this lower or higher the tuning? will it mess with the sound too much? I knew I fudgeed it up... I'm so pissed Btw, The length is of the top of the port. If you need, the sides go back 25.5, and height of 5.75

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 have an 18" zcon on order so I'm starting the build here in the next couple days. I have two designs worked up and just curios what every one thinks would be better, more so concerning port area. I plan on using either a 10" or 12" round port. Box will be sub up port back in an 06 xterra. First design: 6.93 cubic ft. after all displacements with A 10" port tuned @ 37 hz port area = 11.38 per cube Second design: 7.4 cubic ft. after all displacements with a 12" port tuned @ 37 hz port area = 15.28 per cube Just curious what everyones thoughts are, thanks

I have 2 12" DB Drives the model number is: PLW12D4. I would like to know what the total dimensions for a box should be like the inside area and the LxWxD should be? What should it be made out of? How the port should be and where the port should be? how many Hz should it be for the best possible SPL? Also, the box is going in a 1997 Ford Thunderbird. Right now I have the subs each wired to there own amp and the amps are Crunch Pzi1500.1 so are these amps good enough or should I look into buying a new amp, If so what amp? The subs are rated as follows: 2000 watts total power and 1000 Watts RMS. I don't think I am powering them to there full capacity. So any sugges…

In process of getting my 15" zcon reconed to a 12" but I need to build the enclosure. Car is an "04 Grand prix trunk is painted with GT MAT which I've come to realize works real well. Sub back port back is what I'm trying to accomplish for now. I'll experiment later, but have come to realize that sub back port back sounds really well wamming off the trunk in the American cars I've owned. Running a group 34 up front with 2 XS power 975s in the rear. Stock alt will be replaced with a mech 270 in the near future. So I need to build this box to a 3k setup. Sub will be ran on a mmats m3000.1 with 2 runs of welding wire with knu kollossus filling the gaps big 3 exc. I …

I have 15" height with 38" width in my trunk. If it could be made down to 36" width and just longer that would be great. I'm going to be housing two SA12s on a 1500d. Specs of the site say 1.75 each at 30 hz so 3.5 at 30 should be right then correct? If it helps I always listen to rap with a lot of low notes. I currently have a design from this site for a 3.2 cube that I will build tomorrow but if someone can help me out with a design tonight that would be great. 3/4 MDF. THANKS!
