Each box will hold a sundown E-10 on 400rms -
Okay, so I have very little room to work with, and needed help on how to port a wedge box. I have 2 designs I can use for the port, both are using the same box. Width: 15 inches. Height 1 (front): 12.5 Inches Height 2 (back) 7 inches Depth: 18 inches total volume (using 3/4 inch think wood) = 1.06348 cubic feet. So one idea is to place the port under the sub which is the eaisiest. 13.5 inches long, half an inch tall, 14.5 inches of port space (32hz tuned) ^ I need to know if theres anything wrong with this idea? The 2nd idea, which is more complicated, is placing the port on the side of the box. I have no idea how to calculate such a slant. Would the 1st option be eaiser? PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME TO CHANCE THE SIZE OF THE BOX. (There will be 2 of these boxes placed beside each other in a small trunk.

Well, for your amp, neither. you might be able to get away with a sd-12 on that amp, but still that’s pushing it too far. You would really have to gain down and watch how far you turn up your volume. I would recommend getting a weaker amp. As far as the subs go I would go with a single 12 inch over the 8s. It has a bit more cone area and it’s easier to work with. If you really want to work with that amp, I would save a little bit more money and get an SA-12, it would handle your amp as long as you tune everything correctly and don’t overdo it. This would be your best option.

E8vs is an 8 inch sub E-10 is the bigger 10 inch sub. There are both the same classs of sub, just different sizes. a single E wont take 1400 rms well. There rated at 400 rms 3 or 4 might sound allot better on that same amp. a 1400 rms rated amp will tear that sub up

10...maybe 11, possibly 12 years... lol jk. What sub was it???

So... I just ordered 2 e-10s for a total of $170... And im selling my current subs and my old amp i domt use for $200... So yeah. Im happy. And my friend is going to make me custom boxes for free. Im a little confused on the port, because its wedge shaped, i dont know how to calcute the tuning frequency if its a wedge, help?
-
my friend suggest today, getting sound dampening material. All of my trunk is covered in carpet, except the actual opening part... which my subs face only a few inches away. He suggested I should cover up that part and it will increase my SPL. (I do indeed have quite a bit of trunk rattle) I dont need all to much, but I thought this was a good idea. What parts of my trunk should I cover up?

I'm not a fan of JL. Not sire about that one specifically but if never been supporting of JL. I'd like a sub around $100. So far the incrimonator I series, kicker CompR, and sundown E are my top choices if I even decide to switch after I get new boxes.

Im just going to get 2 seperate custom ported boxes made. im going to make them as big as possible with room for the amp in the middle, so 1-1.5 cubes each, tuned around 35hz. If that does quite cut it il just give up and wait till my next car. And as for the SD-10s, I dont see the point in spending that much more for th power handeling, the E-10s already handle more than I could give them in clean power. I might eventually put in some E-10s even if they wont give me more output like some people are saying, I would rather have sundown than these kickers. DONT GET ME WRONG, there great subs, just not my fave
-
Yeah I agree, and trust most of these people as well. I'm just looking for answeres. I'm on my own 2nd set up after if tweaked and moved everything to its number one. And compared to my first every set up this is 10x better. I was just wondering if I could make 1 final change it get complete happiness with my system. If porting and switching to 12s will do what I want then in do it, but I'm not so sure ot will based on these answers. I'm looking for a yes or no right now. I want a little more volume, and a little more low end output. Sq wouldn't be bad either. So would ported 12s or even 10s make me happy?
-
I feel lime that not right... Cause facing my Su s in different places all e gave me a huge increase, a new amp bumped it up way more, I think of I port them in get better output. The tops up is better bass than most people think. What if i port so sundown e12s? You can't tell me that won't get me some better output. At least add to the low in.

Lol true that. I am interested on how this turns out tho, what ever direction this guy takes, sundown or sas, I'm really looking forward go how it turns out. Maybe some pics and vids.

Haha, Idc if there's is louder then mine cause I got a nice deal and I know mine aren't the best but... When there behind me and louder than me in my own car...that's some mad jealously from me haha
-
Yesterday, a jeep pulled up behind me. Its bass was louder in my car then my own subs do. At first I thought it was mine but my heady it was on zero. My ears starting hurting, it was sick. My gf had to cover her ears. No idea what he had. This really made me want to upgrade even more... I'm jealous
-
Your correct. (See my previous comment) I wish everyone on YouTube had sick cameras to record car audio with, I'd spend allot more time on it then. Lol. I really want to upgrade, I thought my system was good, a jeep pulled up behind me and its bass was louder in my car then my own subs can do -.- jealous No idea what he had
-
Good point. I agree. If there isnt a problem (Other than no personal experience) I would go ICON. This is of course only if there is a way to improve your old system. If you thought you were missing some SQ at high volumes go for the ICON. I'm upgrading my system because of its faults, I wouldn't go a different route if I was already happy. I would take the profit and move on, but In my case I would like an upgrade so I wouldn't go and buy the same set up.
-
I know you won't be unimpressed with then, icons are great, however in your specific setup its a shot in the dark if you trying to exactly compare the sundowns. I would only go with icons if you REALLY think you could benefit from another sub. Was there anything you want to improve on your old setup? Pros and cons?
-
Sounds like a trip to YouTube might help you out a bit. Try to find videos that show set ups close to your own. See how you like them compared to the sundowns. Again, if you were perfectly happy with your old set up just do that again, if you think you could use an upgrade go for it. Good luck by the way
-
Lol I tried, no use. I'm keeping them in the trunk. And your right, when the tops down there's very little bass but its pretty nice when the tops up. Are you saying there will be no difference if I switch to a ported box???
