    i want to build a 4th order bp for 2 18 btl and im pretty unsure about how to calculate the port. the sealed chamber is 2* 3,3 cft and the ported one 1* 10 cft. how do i design the port? does 40 hz work well or is that too low? shall i make the port for 5 cft @ 40 hz and then double port area (because both woofers will play in one ported chamber)?

    I was interested in the AA Carbon fiber mids. will they fit in a 6x8 space? Do they have an adapter ring. Plus do they come with a passive crossover and tweets... Right now I have the Pioneer 720PRS components which are pretty nice and have been reviewed very well. Have you heard them? If so how do they compare? And prices.. or local dealer to 11703? Thanks. Mike I tried to send this PM but it wouldnt let me

    I am running 2 FI BL 18's in about 15.5 cubes after sub and port tuned to 32hz. It sounds awesome for daily and really picks up the lows. I have about 200 square inches of port also. I did 147.3 db on TL first time, then a 152.4 on an audiocontrol meter saturday. Now, I was told I should make my box around 10 cubes after sub and port and tune to 35 or 36hz and it would probably meter better and still pick up the lows. Does this sound right or do you have any suggestions? Oh yeah, I am running 2 sundown audio saz-1500d's strapped on them now. Would it matter with a slot port or are aero's better? thanks for any help

    I bought 2 used UFO motors and they are different motors completely. The one has "cuts" in the side around the slug in the black part and the other is just smooth.plus they seem to be different sizes? I already ordered the single slug recones. Are they OK to use together

    well i started my box today for my 15" btl fully loaded, and i almost finished it (i had to work 1-9 today) my sub is going to be facing forward, and im kind of worried that the basket might break, or that it may mess the box up. i didnt double baffle it today, but tomorrow i am going to, im more worried that when i hit bumps and stuff the sub will torque the box and break the screws. also, is there a way to build a support for the motor, i was thinking just building a half circle out of mdt to fit under it with some sort of support to hold it up...

    I have a 04 Ford Expedition, i have built a enclosure behind the 3rd row seat, what i have is 2.46 cu ft, I would prefer a sealed enclosure, I know this is large for sealed, but i can shrink it if needed, my question is: should i go smaller ? It is powered by a Crossfire VR 1000d, I listen to mostly music like: Slayer, Exodus, I also listen to alot of classic rock, metal, punk, etc...ever so often I will play a few bass cd's I have from the days I did dB Drag shows. Thank you for your help.

  22. Started by deftflux,

    I've tried searching for this, but to no avail, so here's my question: I am planning to mount an IB315 to the rear deck shelf in my car, but not in the usual drop-in fashion where you screw it in from the top. It will be mounted with the front of the woofer touching the wood baffle and screwed in from behind the woofer. (Maybe there's a term for this, but it eludes me.) What diameter should the cutout be? The specs say 14.125" for the cut inner diameter, but I assume this is when mounting it normally. I am mounting it this way to leave room for the excursion so that the woofer won't touch the speaker grille cloth. I am trying to make as many modifications to my car…

But i could be wrong? i want the lows and alot of bass but sound good aswell. my other question is should i put a divider and run a port for each sub or have them both to one port? Any input is helpfull thanks
