anyone? lol

hey guys i posted a few months ago about half of my port being covered up and basically it isnt much louder and it makes the music sound sloppy so i dont use it i was wondering if anyone could give me tips on a new box that i could build for it to get some more out of the sub box specs: 35" Wide 16 3/4" Deep 27" Long port specs: 25" Long 5 1/4" Wide 16" deep (outwards) 11 3/4" deep (inwards) (port isnt typical L shape) http://s1284.beta.photobucket.com/user/FiAudioUser/media/boxspecs.png.html?sort=3&o=1 (pictures) i drive a station wagon and have a few more inches long/wide to expand if that gives me some more DBs any help guys? ask any questions you need to be able to give me more answers and i'll try to answer them for you thanks in advance

alrighty ill give this one a shit when i get the amp if i dont like it then new box here i come i guess lol

alright man, thanks a bunch looks like ill have to be all scientific and do a test with both port in and out on the same tones when i get my amp lol

still wouldnt mind some more answers guys anyone else wanna chip in?

the box seems to be designed very well, all the cuts are super clean and stuff so im assuming he knew what he was doing

lmao i know, total brain meltdown x_x finally got some answers though so thanks a bunch i havent been able to afford an amp for it yet so ill just have to wait and see how it plays, if it isnt hitting those lows the way i like (obvious reason why i went for an 18") then ill have to get another one built all i was really concerned about was damaging the sub with the cover (will try both and see how i like them) i intend on getting a Planet Audio BB2400.1D for it so that should be right on the RMS mark, should be getting it in about a month or so lol

shit, the port design came out fucked up if you look at another one of my posts on photobucket i lined out roughly how it's shaped

yeah, that's how the box is shaped The port isn't L shaped like im used to seeing, its shaped more like this: ....._________ |...|..............| |...|..|...........| |___|_______| (pretend the dots arent there lmao i put the data in and got 40 on the dot, but im sure it isnt accurate this is what i put: Box Width: 35" Box Height: 27" Top Depth: 16.75" Bottom Depth: 16.75" Port Width: 5.25" Thats more of the box design without the ___/ shape lol (port design isn't correct though so idk what it's tuned to)

my thoughts exactly im wondering if the port cover lowers the tuning at all though because i would put that in as a temp fix while i get the amps and upgrade my mids and highs

guys? lol

lol, i figured that would happen without the cover, the port is 25 1/2" long and 5 1/4" wide its 16" deep on the outer side and 11 3/4" deep on the inside (closer to the sub) i put the specs into the RE audio box calc and the port frequency came out to like 40Hz, im assuming thats what the cover was for then again, im still only a newb, let me know what more info you might need btw thank you very much for helping this far

seems like my post died lol help guys, still need answers here

Give us the dimensions of the enclosure, including the port opening (the whole opening including where the wood is covering) and port length. http://s1284.beta.ph...html?sort=3&o=1 thats the link to the pic with all the specs (measurements) on it i also included a pic with thee port design, i dont know the dimensions of the inner piece of MDF because i cant take the sub out (screws are in frigging TIGHT), just want some more info on that as well
