Hello there! If you clicked this thread it is because you are considering making a thread asking about a box design! (Or you are wondering, what's this thread about?) Well I am here today to help you and make your box designing dreams become a reality! Follow these 4 easy steps to correctly pose the question "Is this a good design for a box?" By following these steps other members will be able to better assist you in your goals! STEP 1 (Research): Research! Hop on Google and find your manufactures recommendations for the enclosure. Go up in the search bar of this fine forum and search! You will be surprised to find that someone has probably already asked "How good is sub xxx tuned to 34 hz?" And whats awesome is if you do some snooping you can see if they made a build thread, and then find out how well their plan turned out! You can even PM the person and get their opinions on how it turned out! that's the best part of an online community. STEP 2 (Answer "The List"): Check out this cool list below! These are the type of questions that people are going to ask about your box design goals when you make a thread! So have them ready up front! Copy and paste this list to your new thread and fill in the blanks! If you are not sure on an answer simply put a question mark (" ? ") in that space! That way members will be able to provide the best answers for your questions! (See something I should add? PM Me please!) The list: Vehicle : Location in the vehicle: Space available (Length x Width x Height): Subwoofer make and model: Subwoofer Size: Number of Subwoofers: Type of Port (Kerfed, Slot, Aero, etc.): What type of music do you like?: Is your goal SPL or Everyday Music?: Tuning Freq (Hz): Volume : Questions: STEP 3 (Make a good thread title): Now that you have your list filled out go ahead and make a thread, but I strongly encourage you to put as much info about your design in the thread title. This is a VERY IMPORTANT step! By putting information about the thread you are making in the thread title someone will be able to much more easily search for your thread! And not only that more people are likely to respond to your thread as they will be like: "Oh an Fi BTL, I had one of those, I''m gonna help this dude out!" Here is my recommendation for a format of your thread title: Recommended Thread Title: Design Questions for : (Subwoofer Size) (Subwoofer Manufacturer) (Subwoofer Series) in (Cubic Volume) (@Tuning Freq) Enclosure Here is a sample using the above format: "Design Questions for 12" Fi BTL in 2.5 Cubic Ft @ 34 Hz Enclosure" Trust me, if you take the time to have a good thread title, it will attract much more interest and help! Again, if you don't know the freq you want to use or any other part of the tile just leave it out! For love of all that is holy DO NOT make a thread title "Box help" Thread titles like that are the devil! STEP 4 (Do more research!): As the answers start rolling in keep researching! There are plenty of useful tools out their for designing! Part of the fun of this whole hobby is learning how to do things! Then you can impress your friends and make boxes for others! LEARN LEARN LEARN! These videos are just a sample of what you can find on youtube that may help! I hope you enjoyed this thread! With these steps you are on your way to getting accurate answers to your questions from the members of this forum! And not only that you are bettering the forum by allowing information to be more easily found! Take care and stay loud!

Mark, Aaron and the build house built me 4 15" prototypes. 4" coils. close to the punishers in the Geo.

We are proud to be able to help a friend, and just a cool individual in need. SSA has a long standing relationship with Shawn Fleming, and would very much love to help him in his quest to get a new prosthtic leg. Shawn has long standing ties with the car audio community and has brought many loud vechicles & products to our community. Which is why, with every purchase of a "Rewards" eligible product in the SSA store, we will dontate 5% of that purchase price to the "Shawn's New Leg Fund" and help our friend to walk soon again.

hurry on download.... gotta leave the house soon bro.... I would like this like NOW??? lmao

if you compete then oin most classes you can not be over 15.3 volts or so... so there would be a problem with your 144 volt system.. because it charges at 16 volts.

nice videos and info man

I'm quite certain their not AGM. I had a BUNCH of these given to me by the place I work for (so they didn't have to pay disposal fees) and had nothing but trouble with them on the stuff I used that had a lot of vibration such as the kids' power wheels vehicles, go cart and even my DRZ400. For stationary stuff like UPS's, security systems, etc. they're great batteries and will last a long time. I don't think they're trustworthy in any mobile application though.

Those are tiny! I guess they would be good somewhere, just not in my truck, haha

Thank you for the encouragement. It's going to be a lot of money and time to finish this up. I'm going to repaint the car, get the suspension mods done right(already figured out) build doors, redo the A/C, get a new center console ans front door panels lol. That's not including the wood to build it. No problem man. I'm sure that a lot of people just see the free stuff and think you are set. I know how much it costs to do a build like this and it isn't cheap. I'll be rooting for you man.

Bring on the booty & booby pics!!

guess you misread my post. I said they look nothing like sp4s. haha wasnt sure if you were talking about the motor or the baskets... cant wait to see em. I can see the misunderstanding now. The motor is a triple stack...

Um, I'm pretty sure that everyone tried to explain to you what you needed to do in your other thread, and it sure wasn't continuing on with the smallest possible enclosure and minimal port area as you were already trying to do. A larger enclosure, with more port area is what you need to do. Getting a larger amp wasn't going to help, and neither is trying to go with this plan. I really don't want to sound like a prick, but dude we gave you the info you needed in your other thread.

They are building it because they know it deserves to be in your hands. We'll be doin the dance with you when you get them installed

If you portfolio problems I feel bad for you son, got 99 investments and not a loss on one.

yes sir.I was hoping the manufactuer would come on here and spill the beans about the subs. Guess I'm more excited than them. Oh well try and try again. i dont think thats it at all... i think the company is just letting YOU decide when to spillem no

paid off one of my bank loans today, feel great about it, paid rent, phone is paid, capital one is paid.... im clear untill after my birthday YAHH buddy

Finished growin up under my uncles roof. Taught me to count all the way up to 100 proof!
