huh thats what i figured i guess my next question would be if someone could help me with a ported box design?? it wont be very big maybe maybe maybe 2.5 to 3 ft3 not including sub and port disp..........measurements are 57"w (shorter if possible)x20"hx 6"tdx10" bd......tuned for daily 30-35hz

Im not the best with designing boxes. I can do it, but Im sure some member here would love to help you.

well i would appreciate that very much thank you.....and thanks for the input

Contact Chad Hicks, via aim @ ChadSSA1.

He designs boxes, and also a SSA sales rep.

I can help you with a box.

Is 57" wide x 20" high x 6" deep (top)/10" deep (bottom) correct? Should be plenty of reeom for a ported Bl 12".

i double checked my measurements and it was 6"td x 9.5" bd x 57"w x 20"h thank you very much for the help.....ford302redneck i also thankyou for the info but i do not use aim

thought you were gonnna ask if you could run it in a small sealed.

i did ask and apparently it wont but if i am still able to use it in my application without having to sell it and lose out money because i wont be able to sell it for what i bought it for that would be great. i have my amp already and just installed a alpine 9885 in my truck, just found out my wife is pregnant and she's already tightening up the wallet so any help is greatly appreciated

We put a pair of 10's, a ms 1000 and a sundown 1500 in the back of one of those..

It'l fit you just have to get creative...

Thanks!

Except those were very small sealed enclosures

thanks for the input, if someone could help me with a decent sized enclosure that would be great

You could do: 6"td x 9.5" bd x 39"w x 20"h, 4" flared port 13" long.

The 4" precision port is $14, but worth it:

It is not the normal required port area, but the large flare will allow you to use a 4" port with a single 12" sub.

Brian

thank you! i will be building this in a few days, i cant thank yall enough for all the input and advice....oh and one question what wil this be tuned to?

Edited February 27, 200817 yr by mazdaboom

That is pretty close to 2.25 ft^3 tuned to 32 Hz.

Brian

thanks buddy...i already ordered the port

one more question should the port face up or on the side of the box? and would it make a difference if i put the speaker on the passenger side and the port on the drivers side or vise versa? i havent done a ported truck box beofre so im a little clueless thanks.

I think due to the size of the port, you will have to install it on the end. . . .

on the end facing up? or to the side?

I would do the end facing the side.

I am pretty sure the flare end is more than 6" in diameter, and the top of your box is only 6" deep. . .

Brian

k thanks buddy and does it matter if the port is facing the passenger or drivers side?

Hard to say. It can make a difference in a competition, it could make a difference to you sitting in the driver's seat. Only way to know is to test.

I built my suburban the standard driver's side port for loudest on the passenger side, but mine ended up being loudest on the driver's side. . .
