does it make a diff?... im not sure how port tuning works and thats why i am asking

Since everyone lieks pics, maybe i can get some help then thinking of a box like this

car- lexus gs300 music- hip hop and rap sub- audioque sdc2.5 12 amp- jl audio 500/1 max height- 14.25 port tuning- figured 38 max depth- 14.125 max length- 31.125 using .75 thick mdf i get roughly 2.75 cubix feet.. so i figured with sub displacment and port i would be at about 2.5 which is what audioque is the biggest i should run the box.. now with the port i put in 2 inches wide by 8 inches tall and i would need a port length of 7.51 inches.. now my question is does all that sound about right? should i have the port longer? when i did the port at 14.25 tall and 2 inches wide it said i needed a port length of 14.71.. basically just looking for some advice on what to do with the port and how to build the box

that sounds like the best deal to me

its not about the 1500, im trying to understand what the diff between the bl and q is

so with a bl should i expect more booom? if i was to put either the q or the bl in lets say a 3 cu box, square port tuned to 33hz same amp same everything only variable is the sub between teh bl and the q what should i expect the diff to be?

thank you and i will try to steer clear..so can some one tell me why to go with a bl and not a q? they both handle the same amount of power but the q has a xmax of 27mm where as the bl is 21mm..is the bl more for spl? and the q for sq?

thank you i will deff look into it...how about the us amp XT4000D?? says 1500 at 1 ohm and its under $400 depending where you get it from

so stick to sundown your saying

i dont have the jl yet i have there 500/1 but a co worker is buying it, so i was just going to take the money he gives me and put in a extra $100, and get a jl 1000, but if it will be easier i can just get the sundown 1500 or 1000 its about the same price, also what about us amps? i saw they were a forum sponser, are there amps any good? they have a xt4000d thats 1500 watts at 1 ohm

amp wise im looking at about $400 buck range..besides price would i look for a sundown 1200 then?? or there 1000? also with a sundown since they are 1 ohm stable would i get the d1 then?

yea sorry just looked at there site, its the 1000/1 version 1 its 1000 watts at 1.5 ohms-4 ohms..

It's a good match for rap. ok so i just noticed the bl is the same price as the q..now as far as options i see the cooling is $0 for it and the p chamfer is $10 but it wont let me pick the option it says that its included with the cooling.. is that correct? also flatwind option and daily is what i am looking for correct? and since my amp is up to 0.5 ohm stable should i get the the d2 so that if i later change the amp i dont have to worry about ohm load?

ok so the jl 1000, but why the bl? why not the q or ssd?

bump for some help

the reason i was going to go with the jl is it was only 400 and the guy is going to buy my 500/1 for 300 so its only 100 out of pocket..why the bl and not the q or ssd?

yea i was orig looking at re audio, dc audio, dd, and treo engineering.. i chose the fi due to other forumns and how everyone was saying they liked the fi..

ok so i am trying to pick the right sub and set up for me.. the car is a 98 Lexus gs300 i currently have a jl audio 500/1, but can give it to a friend and pay a little more for a jl 1000/1 i listen to mostly hip hop/rap..and some times house and rock..but not often.. i would like 1 12, ssd has a rms of 800 and the q of 1000, i figured the q would be better for me in case i ever feel like its not loud enough i could just get a more powerful amp, but figured i would ask as i don't have any experience with fi.. also for box design i know everyone asks the same question go with a sealed or ported box.. i would think a ported since i listen to alot of hip hop.. any and all help is greatly appreciated

thank you
