SPL & SQ / Fabrication

i have a 2005 tahoe with two orion hcca 15.2 and want to build a box like the one steve meade has for is 4 18's here a couple of links...sorry dont know how to put picks up https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=x6V8eu8o53qyjM&tbnid=EQYYPTVbyxj2eM:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fstevemeadedesigns.com%2Fhome%2Fmemberbuilds_5.php&ei=Js_tUumTLOqe2QXA8oHYDg&bvm=bv.60444564,d.b2I&psig=AFQjCNEvJXWf_OhHZbJlaEYPPEtNZET1bA&ust=1391403157918733 http://cs12828.vk.me/u109393749/video/l_a71dab0b.jpg

Friends Does anybody know any alternative methods in contacting Custom Car Audio Home I am trying to order a box but can't seem to get a reply either by phone or E-mail. I also tried contacting fisher customs and have not gotten a reply from them either. R, Julius

I was simply wondering what is some of the different types of Building Material are the best? I know the word best is subjective, but in this scenerio, weight is not an issue. Of course, I could simply double up on 3/4 MDF, and do some well bracing, I'm aware of that. But I'm also aware that, the material your using can greatly alter the output. Thats the main reason extreme vehicles use concrete. I am not willing to use concrete. I know I said weight is not an issue, but thats a bit much, plus would put me into the extreme class. The reason I'm asking, is because this will be my burp enclosure. I've heard of some competitors using marble, and other hard/rock like materia…

Hello am from mexico and I want to know if anyone can recommend that woofers used to compete in spl stret beat and uses a pair of 3000.1 sundown in a car renault R5 Thanks style_team 150+

I just had me a crazy Idea just wanted to get some feedback on what you guys think. I have a 95 eclipse that i have been contemplating on how to build this thing. Then it hit me, why not fiberglass a 10 in each door panel and flush mount the amp there as well. Tell me what you think.

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?

What kind of Box you sugest for 2x Pioneer 307D2 just for SPL Street B class. Dimensions, Port, and other things. Thank`s

This is for 2-10" Alpine Type-R subs (SWR-1022D), and will be powered by an Alpine MRD-M501 amplifier rated at 550W into 2 ohm mono. These are my inside dimensions: Height 10" Depth 10" Width 15.25" Total is .88 ft^3/sub Total outside box dimensions are: 11"x11"x32" I need to put this box underneath a rear strut bar and from the bottom of the bar to the trunk floor is 11 1/2". Will this work or should I scrap the strut bar and build a taller box? Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Ed

Alright, I'm going full blow post with this. I'm tired of wasting paint. I've been painting this damn thing with color now for around two weeks. Giving plenty of time to dry between coats, wet sand, etc. and it still looks like shit. There's 6 coats of automotive primer on it before I started painting as well yet it still continues to soak in, like so. This is after around 3 coats of paint. BTW the color is deep jewel green with the metal flake in it. Same color that's on my '70 chevy. And this is after around 8 coats of paint. The picture was taken this morning moments before coat #9. So what can I do with this? I was wondering if a coat of clear over the pain…

I would like to go with two jl audio 13 tw5 or two re audio sl12 http://www.audiojunkies.com/blog/646/res-n...nclosed-woofers http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_subs_pa...php?page_id=245

Hi all, A friend of mine has a 15" xcon DVC1 in a 3.7 cu ft box (32 Hz tuning, flared port)Look at my avatar : it's his box !! He uses 2 Sundown saz 1000 d amps strapped to run the sub. Now, he wants another xcon 15 and 1 more saz 1000 (he just bought mine ). Here is the question : What would you do ? Build another same box for the second xcon, or build a new box for 2 xcons ? He is the box builder, so there is no problem to build boxes. What are the pros and cons of your choices ? Thanks for your help !!! (He has room in the car, no backseats, he knows he has to upgrade the electrical system for more than 4000 watts !)

I am designing an enclosure for a Sundown Audio Z-15 (D4 wired to 2 ohms on a Sundown Audio SAZ-2000D), it will be a daily driver. I listen to a lot of chopped and screwed, r&b, old school and rap so I decided to stick with 31Hz. This may be a temporary box or a full time box depending on how it and the sub treat me. I havent build a box since August of 2008 so its been a while, my max dimensions are 16.5"H x 34"W x 21"D. Jacob told me I can make the enclosure as big as 4ft^3 and tuning anywhere from 30-35Hz and 28Hz if I wanna go lower. So right now Im sitting with a box at 3.85ft^3 @ 31hz with 60 in^2 of port area (port area range = 46-62in^2). Made of 3/4" mdf, sta…

My dad has an E8v1 in his van in an old box that was from a component set, he needs a new box. I have leftover wood from my box so I thought I might as well use it! Using sundowns recommendations I figured .6 cubes with a 7x2 PVC aero port. My question is how much port area should it have and what frequency to tune to. He listens to rock music, should I even port it?

ok i was told to post this here, this is a link to my thread. can i please get some help on this please! sa-10 box help - SSA Car Audio Forum

hey guys should i build this or should i just keep it simple i have no experience designing an 4th order and would hate to waist 2 sheets of mdf if some one has input for a better enclosure lol its going to be a 1:2 chamber ratio rear is going to be 1.28 after displacements front is going to be 2.76 cf tuned to 36.09 box peaks at 33.79 at 6.69 db and here are pics of what i imagined

I have a Hummer H3 with dual Sundown sa-12D4's running off a Hifonics BRZ1700.1 with 145 amp alt, big 3, 0 gauge, 8 gauge power wire for the speaker wire. I have them in a box with dimensions 38x21.25x14; .75 mdf. The port is 12.5x4.5x31.5 long. I have made the port longer and shorter and can't seem to get it to peak around 34hz. It sounds like it is peaking around 38 or so to me. I have built many single sub boxes, and all of them end up being just about perfect, but I can't seem to get this dual box to sound correctly. I have made 3 different boxes trying to get my box hitting the lows well, but can't seem to do it. Could somebody please help me to get the right …

2 SA12s, ported to about 30-33hz, whatever you think is best. I would like two seperate optimal boxes to go in the back of a Dodge Charger, with 1200rms. Im looking for decent SQ (at least at low volumes) but mainly SPL

This is what I have right now Most of these number where pulled from another Tahoe build to give me a base. Ok now I just messed around with the port length until I got the tuning I wanted (33-35). I don't really get how it is longer than the box? This my first box design and is a temp. box for me to use about a month or so. Sub will be powered by a Cresendo 2k at .5 or 2ohm depending on voltage gain All the way down, and I'm going to take it easy. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

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

my question is, should there be any nocitable difference if i switch boxes. it will be for 2 10" chaos on a t1500-1bd my current box is a 1.8 cubic feet tuned to 32hz and will build a bigger box, a 2.5 cubic feet tuned to 33hz all this measurements are net volume, and the bigger box has a bigger port thanks

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.

So... me and my dad are in the process of rebuilding a 1970 vw bug, and of course... i plan on putting a system into it. the main problem will be with the placement of the subwoofers, bugs are tiny vehicals with almost no extra space. we would prefer to keep a backseat but would be willing to give it up if need be. So does anyone have any ideas for a good subwoofer and somewhere to put it. money shouldnt be too much of an issue but it must be within reason... Im going for SQ but would still like it to get hella loud. i was thinking maybe 2 10in Fi SSds in a sealed box... any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. My next question isnt really fabrication but while im…

I managed a 148.2 at 25Hz a year ago in a vehicle that was NOT designed for competition, let alone SPL. I simply wanted a vehicle that could get pretty loud, pretty low, and yet still sound very clear. Out of curiosity I went and got metered to see how loud it was below 30Hz. When I did so I got bombarded with "well this guy with 24 15's in 4th order got a 161 @ 25Hz" and "well this guy got a 154 with just 2 10's at 25Hz". Later some guy, who despite being from this forum was very polite and nice, comented on some of my posts. He was installing 2 18's and tuning around 30Hz IIRC. So I joked and said I'd give him my other alternator if he could beat my 148 @ 25Hz. He tol…

Anyone no what size t-nuts to use in double baffle box for 2 sa 12s

I found a sweet deal on an older model eclipse. I am trying to get a job, but the economy sucks. I also decided, i am going to wait on the lincoln, until i prove to myself that i can treat my car nice, because i just dont trust myself enough yet (i'm clumsy). So for the mean time (and while i save up for insurance, the car and the stereo, i am toying with the idea of building a t-box for the back seat-area and into the hatch. Subs in question are (2) SSA xcon 18's, and a sundown 3500D. i am still deciding on a powermaster battery batteries, but Knu wires and fuses for sure. My goal is a low-end monster, maybe 25-28hz. i would like some of you box-gurus to throw me some po…
