Posted October 6, 201014 yr hello, as stated i am in need of a box design. i got 1 18 Q and a aq1200d amp and it will be going in a 2000 grand prix. so i have about H = 16". width = 30". and length = 32" of room for a box but i do not know how big to make the port. i am going sub on top and port at back.suggestions needed.
October 6, 201014 yr Go with a 15 q, that Is not enough space for a ported box for a q. You will get more out of a 15 in a good box than an 18 in too small an enclosure. Or you could go seald

Or you could go sealdNevermind that's enough room. You have about 7.25 cubic feet to work with. I wold stay around 6 cubes minimum though. And keep port and driver displacement in mind
October 7, 201014 yr Author ok thanks. i will be taking the carpet and stuff out and putting dynomat in the trunk so i might have a little bit more room. with those dimesntions H = 16". width = 30". and length = 32" will my port have to be very wide?
October 7, 201014 yr If your going to get an 18" woofer don't you need 18 inches of height at least?he said sub facing up

Because it is an 18" woofer with 30mm excursion, it is capable of displacing huge amounts of air and the port needs to be fit.

October 14, 201014 yr Author ManRossDamn How wide of a port would you need if it had a heigh of 15"?That is my question..
October 14, 201014 yr Could you not easily see that was a simple ass spelling mistake?no need to be a complete jackass about it"HEIGHT" is the correct spelling I was trying to spell.Heigh is now 18", any help?I'm thinking 4" wide..
