Posted March 5, 201213 yr So i just got my wife 4 kicker cvr15's and i was calculating a box and holy crap 16cu ft!!!! At least!!! And kicker says that i should tune my box at 28hz??? Someone please help me out with a box...
March 5, 201213 yr Sounds about right, if I was to ever do four 15s, I would be in the low 20s for cuft. And 28hz is rather low tunning, Should be ok for daily though, you may change it for your needs though. For a box design, you should simply contact one of the vendors herre. Ram Designs is a good one, but won't build, DC Creations would also be another choice. But to help you, of course we need some info from you, such asWhat vehicle?How much space are you will to sacrifice?What are those MAX demensions?How much power, tho irrelavent to some.
March 6, 201213 yr Author Its a 2008 yukon..width(49in) height(30in) depth(34in)...maybe tuned to 33hz...subs will be inverted and im leaning towards aeroports...
March 6, 201213 yr Since the Yukon is just like the Tahoe. I have to point out the width tapers down a little towards the bottom. I would go with 48.5 MAX just to be safe. Also my original plan was 4 15's. I have seen the kickers in a box smaller than 16 cubes especially if there overpowered.
March 6, 201213 yr Author They will only get 400wrms so a bigger box should be the way to go...maybe 16cu ft...my amp is 2kwrms at 1ohm but the subs are 4ohms
March 6, 201213 yr Kicker suggest anything from 3-5 Ft^3 per sub.. So 12-20 cubes would be acceptable.. I would just try to fit within that... Larger enclosures will be much more efficient but risk mechanical failure if abused. On the other hand a smaller enclosure raises mechanical handling but sacrifices efficiency.
March 6, 201213 yr Author So 4cu ft is right in between..im just amazed at how these low end subs with such a small rms need so much room...
March 7, 201213 yr your amp does 2k at 1ohm, and you have 4 4ohm subs? that wired in parallel would be 1 ohm. which means you'd see 500wrms to each. depending on if the amp does rated. and you are on the high end of their rated power. I'd go a little smaller on the enclusre personally. 33hz tuning would be fine. id go 12-14cubes at 32-35hz. what amp?
