No matter how many times it's told, there are always nonbelievers; assuming because you have a hole in an enclosure, it is ported, yes your enclosure has a hole in it but it is not a properly vented box, what you have is a leaky sealed box, and sadly it lacks the good things gained when you properly port a enclosure. Here is a technical understanding: http://www.bodziosoftware.com.au/PORTS.pdf

Kerfing 101- UNDER CONSTRUCTION What is Kerfing? “Kerf” by definition means “width of a saw cut”. This is the width of the actual saw tooth itself as opposed to the width of the blade as a saw tooth flares out and away from a blade. “Kerfing” is a term that many woodworkers have adopted to define the process of making several cuts within a piece of wood to achieve the removal of material. Often this removal of material will allow one to then bend the wood stock making a nice professional and appealing curve that can be incorporated into the project.

I'm planning on securing my sub box to my trunk using L brackets. I'm also putting in a plywood floor so I can mount amps/batteries/etc to it also. But my question is that, when using the L brackets on the box, do I just bolt straight through the side of the box? And if I ever move the box to another vehicle or change the arrangement, it will have a handful of holes in the side? Just seems odd. Is this the right was to do it though?

does it matter what side of an enclosure your port is located on ? my sub is mounted in a up fire position on one end and I WOULD LIKE TO no if it makes a difference if my port goes out the other end of my box just opposite of my sub basically firing at the door

right now my box is subs up, port back 20 cubes before subs and port with about 200+square inches of port tuned to 33hz, designed by chris at fishercustoms. It picks up lows and pretty loud, only metered before i built this box and was 149 on tl and did 151.7 on audiocontrol meter at local show. Now with this box, it sounds louder to ear, but havent metered yet. Problems now are i have bought 2 boxes of stinger roadkill bulk, did roof, doors and back door. It doesnt rattle bad, the back glass is terrible, but everytime i open back door, metal braces or pieces of the lock and handle are broken and fallin off. LOL. I got guy i work with to tig weld a rip in back door alread…

I've got ~13 cubes net - up to the window line in the cargo area of my truck, while still fitting (3) batts. I've got power on tap upto 6kw nominal. All ported, nothing tuned higher then 38hz for music and daily wangage - preferably more like 28-30hz. Take Your Pick... will build on Wednesday. Thanks gent's -Nick

I am currently taking advantage of the Audibel Customs free enclosure special and getting myself an SSA Icon 12". I am going to be going with a ported enclosure, and Quentin is currently working on my design. the first design he had was with the sub on an angle, firing towards the hatch, and port firing out the top. I had envisioned a upward firing sub and port, and a raised sub floor in the back to make it all flush. Now I realize that the box is just going to be so big regardless that the sub floor idea went out the window. I am only concerned with it hitting hard, going deep, and being able to keep up with my tastes in music. I drive a '05 Scion Xa, 160 amp alt, 0g …

i had a post earlier about this when i planned on making my sub box. however... i made the box bigger to 5 CuFt now and im curious if i could still be ok with (3) 4" aero ports instead of ordering up one more? :thanx:

Hey guys i would fist off like to say thank you for the big 3 help. i have all the parts but the wire and am getting ready to start it, The subs i will be getting will be two 10 inch FI SSDs with cooling, and amp i am not sure yet but might go with a new crescendo amp SSA now sells. also getting a second battery down the road. Well the question is do i port the box or not? I have the space to do it and i was going to do the port out of the top of the question is what do i do inside the box here is what its going to look like and it will be the same on the other side too. any help will be great

Dont know if i need to brace this box or not. ANd if i do how should i go about it? edit:

would a port facing the side work in a 2001 eclipse hatchback.......its about a foot away from the panel if I were to face the port to the back ....the port will only be about an inch away from the back panel.... and I don't think it will have any air flow. if I face the port to the side .....will it practically be the same as facing it to the back?

Ok so I have an 02 extended cab gmc and Im wanting to put some subs in. Im looking for it to be loud and clear. Im willing to lift the seat up 2 inches. Im not sure if you guys have worked with my type of vehicle before. So far im looking at the icons mainly for the sq but I want loud aswell so maybe the AQ HDC products. Maybe suggest subs and box makers or sites to go for box. Im wanting to do 2 subs under the seat but not sure if I have the room. Any and all help would be appreciated.

hey guys, im about to build a ported box to sit on my back seat, just for a little fun. amp is an saz1500d@1 ohm wired up to a diehard gold with 2/0 welding cable I realize box recommendations are 1.5 to 2 cubes ported at around 30-35hz with 12-15sq inches of port area per cube, but i was wondering if there was something more exact due to my lower power and config (being in a truck on the seat) its going to be a slot port because im going to use re's box calculator. oh and i planned on going sub firing up and port facing the windshield, is this a good or bad idea? im just looking for a daily street beater
