How about a 10" without being flared? That leads to my next question. How much of a difference is there between flared and unflared?

Yes so what would that be "equal" to in terms of slot port area? Also how come you don't think I could fit it on the face??

Wouldnt a single 8 inch aero be more port area than your slot port design and mine? yours has 81 in2 while the 8" aero has 100.48 in2. Correct me if i'm wrong but don't you multiply the port area by 2 when dealing with aeros. That way you can compare it to slot ports. Aeros only need half the port area as slots right?

Let me go out to my car and see how much more I can get. I wanted to build an amp rack behind box but ill get some more depth possibly.

Sorry i didn't specify. How much volume do I have with current dimensions and how much volume do you think I should be at for my application?

You are kind of on the small side as far as space is concerned. If I were you I would probably just use dowel bracing to reduce the amount of volume that it takes up. How much do you think i have currently with my max dimensions? and how much do you think I should have?

i wanted to 45 all sides. I really didn't know how much it would take up, so I put more than what it would be just to be on the safe side.

Yes...What are your max dimensions? My max dimensions are 15h x 35w x 28d.

Thanks!

for either of them?

So I decided to go with 2 12" Zcons D2s and I just wanted to see how well I did my box. I'm trying to learn how to design boxes better and wanted you guys to check it out. I want to have it in a ported box with port and subs front firing sealed off from the trunk of my 2012 Fusion. It will also have internal bracing with 45s. I have 2 Crescendo Bc2k and will have a H/O alt with a xs d3100 in the back. I want to have the port in the middle but I'm stuck with either doing a slot or aero port. The slot doesnt allow me to get as much room as the aero does obviously and also the aero allows me to tune lower. I would like to tune around 32 hz. Does that sound good for the zcon? I listen to mostly rap/hip hop but I do also listen to a lot of country, dance/techno and dubstep too. My max dimensions are 15h x 35w x 28d. I just dont know if that's enough or too much port aero for either design and if it would be good. The box for the slot port just doesnt seem to work because of port area and volume while the aero port looks a lot better, too me at least. SSA recommends Ported: 1.75-2.5ft^3 @ 31-37hz Ported Optimal: 2.5-3.25ft^3 @ 31-37hz Here's what I got from torres calc. Slot port Aero port Sorry for the poor pics but thats the only way I know how to get it up lol

I think I'm going to go with the zcons. I plan on keeping the next subs I buy for quite a while so if I get the zcons, I can aalways had power later on which will prevent me from buying new subs. Thanks to everyone who has put their input in and helped!

Yes sir! I'm only 10 mins away from howell.

I like pioneer, I have one right now in my trailblazer and it works great. Ohh and today I measured out the trunk and 2 15s wont be able to fit properly so I'm going wit 2 12s. Too bad the 15s wouldn't fit :/

I wonder if I will need that? Shud I see how it will sound without it first?

Ohh really? How expensive is that item?

Ok I'll look into them. Thanks man!

I dont know, I'd have to look at it to see if it would. Anyways I really don't have the money tobspend on such a thing. Usually the good ones start around atleast400

well congratulations on the win and i will be waiting for the build log of that awesome build!!

3 18s in that lil thangg? haha

Niceee man!! good luck with the whole build. what vehicle is it going in? i didnt see it anywhere..

Not trying to thread jack but are the coaxials and components the same thing but the components have the tweeter off of the midbass driver so you can mount it where you want? that and so you can set the crossovers differently than the already set coaxials? is that the only difference?

Very true but not a lot of people have that lol

Great write up!! This will definitely help people with their thread.

How come it wasnt right? Also what is it i exactly have to buy? I just dont want to change it out because it its all one piece and would look bad, also i want to keep the steering wheel controls.
