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 hear that areo ports "trick" the box into thinking that it actually has more port area than it actually has. Is there some type of calculation so I can figure out the effective port area of an Aero Port? Thanks

Thought we could make one of these. Post up your SPL#'s car: Electrical: Amps: Subs: Box: Mic: Tone: Score: (legal or outlaw)

I would like to know if you see any potential problems with mounting a peerless 6.5" mid bass speaker "in" the door pocket of my 2000 ranger. I currently have jl audio xr 5 x 7's (coaxial) in the stock location in my doors. They image like crap ( no real surprise there, a lot of the time it's behind my head or at my feet ). I've been playing with some T.B. W3's as well as some FR 88 ex's on the dash by the a pillars. I like the sound of the fr88's and am going to try going without tweeters. I also bought 2 peerless 6.5" sls mid bass (830946), which I plan to put in the stock door location (red square in pic) to see if like them. If I do, I plan to get 2 more 6.5's …

So was wondering if this box design was good for spl( stole the pic from smd froum ) http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q641/antoinez28/1571462d541ddd32176d702a8041523f_zps241afbf8.jpg The only thing I will be using 3/4 mdf and the top of the box will be 2 inch thick plus bracing.

ok lets try this again because the designer still wanted to get in on this convo. I may not be the all knowing when it comes to Car Audio but i am a man with 2 degrees. I don't understand that how after you said all those lovely things about the designer and builder of the 4th order in question. How can you still say it sounds bad after not hearing it. I didn't lock the thread. Wouldn't have posted in it again if it was locked. As for my statement, I'll repeat it and stand by it. It is not an opinion that in particular that 4th order BP was not the best use of space, it is not an opinion that the output of that box does not have a smooth response in the frequency doma…

Hello All, I am currently in search for a really good Mid-Bass Driver. My budget is around 200$ per, it "could" be stretched a little higher if needed. I currently am a competitor for the SPL side of things, but for this upcoming season, I am also wanting to compete in SQ. I am not wanting to become a world champion per-say, but I would like to earn a respectable score. Yes I do understand how judgmental SQ can be, as it's all person preference, as well as a judge to judge scoring. For this portion of my audio system, I would like to ignore my SPL installation, and to strictly concentrate on the SQ aspect. I am currently and will like to continually run an 2 way acti…

hello all! I have a 99 single cab Silverado. I'm wanting to put my 15" BTL N2 in the truck but i've never done a blow through. my concerns are how big to cut the hole out through the cab, should I make it as big as the box? or can I get away with having a smaller hole (only a few inches smaller) I have another BTL that needs to be reconed but, I don't have a amp that can push them both. so for now I want to just put this one in. would a 4th order be a good design or just a slot ported box work better (I'm not a fan of aero ports)

I need feedback and SIN just isn't moving fast enough for me... Da Goods... Taped off and ready for glass... Mold and heavily modified door... The baffle design... I really would appreciate feed back, these will be ported to roughly 60 hz, cause that's where I was told to cut it off... Feed back on the baffle is what I'd like the most as that is where I'm at ATM... Time to go pick up some dowel rods...

I've been reading the Loudspeaker Design Cookbook and found the effects of lobing due to driver placement on the baffle, but am still left wondering two things. Use the picture below as a reference to how the placement would differ. Assume same port length and volume for each. #1: The port ends in a different location inside the box, does this have different loading effects on the sub? From appearance, it would seem that the air flow in each would be somewhat different and affect the subwoofer? #2: What happens to the subwoofer and response as you move it closer or farther away from the port? Is it best to have it centered or off to a particular side?

Who will be competing next year and in what organization and class. I will be competing in SLAP in the stock 0-160 class

This kind of goes with myths and lies. Here I am trying to figure out why some insist on a port box for spl? Is there a specific reason why? Some pros and Cons I know of for ported verses transmission lines. Ported: High spl output= pro High x max =con Loud bass output. Pro Box size= pro or con Transmission lines: Loud bass output below 70 hertz. = pro Reduced x-max =pro High spl output the same as a ported. = pro Large boxes =con The reason I see the transmission line is better is x max is reduced so when you add 8,000 watt burp to a 2,500 watts rms sub the tinsel leads do not come apart as easily. The t lines can be tuned the same as a ported for high outp…

UPDATED!!! finally got everything worked out that i wanted, plus a neat addition or two. ***When downloading, make sure it is saved with a .exe file extension, or it will not open properly. the 'Open with...' window will pop up otherwise*** (thanks gottahavbass917 and a user from another forum) To do this, go to the folder that the calculator is in and click tools in the toolbar at the top (click alt on the keyboard if you can't see the toolbar). Then click folder options. then click the view tab, and in the advanced settings window, there's a check box that says 'hide extensions for known file types'. Uncheck that and you will see the .uexe file extension on the calculat…

Doing my sq setup, has 2 way components 125 watts each side. Looking for a good sq sub that goes loud but good quality under $300 I will upgrade later to something higher end. So far looking at the image dynamics idq10v3. (500 watts rms) also would a sub 500 watts rms overpower the front stage? From the comps? cheers any reviews on the idq would be good too

Hi all, I'm working on a design for 3 18" BTL's for a jeep grand Cherokee, the hard part about this is that he wants to run the vehicle in the "no wall" class for db drag, meaning that you cant have any part of the audio above the window line. so this creates a space issue. he also is going to be using about 6 Power master D3100 batteries. so that takes up some of the space. the space we have to work with is 66" deep x 43.25" wide x 18" or under tall. now the batteries (which will be connected with buss bars) will be in front of the box. this will take about 14 inches of the depth, so that leaves us with 52 inches. now if you try to port firing backwards that takes…

I'm almost up and running with 2 sa10's on a sundown saz-1500d @1ohm in my Lincoln. I have a box I built for my Cadillac, that is 2.5 cubes with 40 sq in of port area with a slot port. I'm going to run this for now, down in the well of the trunk. Here's a pic. I want to build a new box that sits on the hump behind the seat. I'm not going to run rear fill or the factory sub. So I will have two 6x9 holes on each side and a sub hole that is 6-8" in the middle. First question is what size aeros to run. Will 2-4" or 1-6" be enough port area? Or maybe 3-4"? Second question, how to port through the rear deck? The box will be 10.5" tall and the bottom of the rear deck is about…

I am using a audiocontrol 3055 to tune my system once its parts arrive. I like the kicker KQ30 but it has 1 in and 1 out for RCA. this would make me think i need to have amps with pass through. if i am outputting a 0.2V signal from my HU to my KQ30 and a 8V out of the KQ to amp 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 would amp 5 have a 2V signal or a 8V signal? how many amps can i daisy chain in this manor before i run into issues. secondly i have a KX3 that i do not believe i will need but if i end up using it would i run into a SQ issue having HU > EQ > Xover > amp? would that added processor cause issues with sound quality? a third question is if i am to have all my amps/proces…
