Posted January 17, 201213 yr 21 total cubes 7 sealed 14 ported tuned to 45 hrtz sealed side will be built into my trunk. discuss.... ready go!
January 17, 201213 yr Personally I would not do it this way as sometimes it's better to keep the box simple
January 17, 201213 yr i still say we change it up a bit. put it up to about a 2.25:1 ported:sealed. a little more output even thought bandwidth will go down a bit. drop that sealed chamber just a tad and tune it a little lowerwe all know lem looooveeessss them loooooowwwwwsssssss lolfyi, i just got danells design done too!
January 17, 201213 yr Look challenging for sure if thats your goal, GL with build. Who will be ther person responsible for piecing this together? Because from my understanding, this design really need to be on point, meaning no mess ups or no trying to get away with any flaws.
January 17, 201213 yr Author The box is actually pretty simple. Everything is well boxy. No curves at all or bends and ill be the one putting it together. With help from kremer im sure, but hey if you never challenge yourself you'll never get better at what you do.
January 17, 201213 yr What kind of car will this be going into?And you didn't answer the question of what your goals were with this enclosure..
January 17, 201213 yr Author What kind of car will this be going into?And you didn't answer the question of what your goals were with this enclosure..Oh 99 olds cutlass. And my goals? Well I've already done over a 150call with last build I build to listen musically and I want to murder the low notes.. as long as I can play down to 25hrtz and move nasty amount of air ill be happy but reason for doing a 4th I don't want it to be too peaky

January 17, 201213 yr there is just something with the opening of that sealed chamber that is going to restrict the performance of these 18s...Sometimes when i design walls, I have to alter where the port will be at because even though the internal wall volume is still the same, the path at which it takes to reach the port can sometimes be a tight fit, squeeze...And i've intentionally built an enclosure like this before to see what would happen and it acted exactly like i had no extra volume left when in fact i did.. So.. what i'm saying is.. is no, i wouldn't do it.
January 17, 201213 yr bad idea..KISS principle is your friend simple ported..leave it alone.Yup. There we go.

January 18, 201213 yr Author I have kept it simple before and had a regular flat traditional wall. I liked the way it sounded and its time for something NEW. If you never try to do new things your just following the crowd. im a hands on learner and i want to broaden my build skills... so im gonna build it. see how it sounds and if i hate it?? well im not afraid to tear it out and try again.
January 19, 201213 yr Then you will learn that this will probably sound like shit, while losing money at the same time.. wasting time.. When you could have had a solid setup from the get go.. just my 2 cents.

The thing is, you say your goal is to murder the low notes (25 Hz) and it seems counter-productive to use a 4th order to do that, especially when you're dedicating that much space. A transmission line, IMO, would be a better design for what you wish to achieve.That's just my opinion, take it for what it's worth.

January 20, 201213 yr Well best of luck in the build, i understand wanting to do some new different things. Just hope it will do what you are looking for.
