Posted September 20, 201212 yr In my 2003 tacoma single cab and bench seats doubtful i can get two tens ported. Car audio dealer told me it wouldnt sound good with ports on side of box. So am think of one ten ported or two sealed
September 20, 201212 yr How could anyone answer that question? We don't know how many lows you want hit. Please restate your question with measurable parameters. Sorry, not trying to be a jerk.
September 20, 201212 yr Author Oh jeez m5 can never just move along can you? Like rap music... Put on..them lows... From a sealed box? Possible with authority and get loud?
September 20, 201212 yr You haven't given the subs or the room available. So no one can tell you. You might be using JL w7 and get a f3 in the low 30's sealed. Or you might be using $40 pioneers and might only get a f3 of 40 in a sealed box. Or the "tard" that says side ports don't sound good might build you a shitty designed sealed box for the W7 and you might end up with a f3 in the 40's anyway.We needs specifics.
September 20, 201212 yr To focus on the lows you will want ported. Big output requires more space and cone area than you have the space for. Some trucks sound best with port on the side. Find another shop.
September 20, 201212 yr Author Plan on sundown e series tens. Aq 750 bench seats. Its gonna be hard to fit 2 cubes im sure.
September 20, 201212 yr I took off 1.5 inches on the depth (I figured you didn't account for cone excursion) and I get roughly 4.25 cubic feet internal volume. I don't know the specs on the subs but I'm sure ported would be workable
September 20, 201212 yr Author Any possibility you could maybe workout a design for me as this will be the first ive made as my box for my btl n2 was built for me. Just for two ten sundown e series.
September 20, 201212 yr If I get a little time I'll work up a few different alignments and you can input them in Winsd if you woul like to look at their response curve.
September 21, 201212 yr Below are two popular enclosures that would fit in the room you provided. There were a few parameters that weren't listed on the Sundown site so I used a FEA program to calculate them so they may be a tad off but close enough that it shouldn't matter.The top is a BB4 alignment: 2.08 cubic feet tuned to 36 hertz with a f3 of 32.89The bottom is a C4 alignment: 3.88 cubic feet tuned to 28.9 hertz with a f3 of 25.76 hertz.Because you are looking for the increased lower end I'd go with the C4 alignment. Group delay is much higher than the BB4 but it's not much higher than 28ms and it's only 20ms at 20 hz so it should be fine. Using Small's minimum port area formula you will want to use (2) 4 inch ports or 25.12 square inches of port 19 inches long.With sub displacement this should just fit and give you room between the sub and seat as I took off an inch and a half of the depth measurements you gave.I'd put the subs on the driver side and exit the port toward the passenger side.This is just my preferences someone else might have something else they might want to add.
September 21, 201212 yr Author Very nice thanks for ur input. Much help. Also its gonna havr to be a slanted box as i have bench seats. Any possible way you could help with dimensions sorry for askin so much as i am new to box building and cant get a program for it on my phone which is all i have
September 21, 201212 yr your deminsions would be:46 inches wide36 inches high3.5 inches deep at top9.5 inches deep at bottomusing 3/4 inch MDF gives you 4.44 cubic feet internally
September 21, 201212 yr Extended range to "hit the lows" is easily attainable in a sealed enclosure. it does NOT require a vented enclosure.
September 21, 201212 yr gain plots with 1,2,3 and 4 cubic foot sealed boxes along with the other ported boxes if you'd like to go that route.
September 21, 201212 yr Author Would much rather do ported. Id need 2 cubes plus sub displacement. Fot sundown e series. Im about to order then. Anyone think they could do a possible sketch for the box so itd help me as its my first box build. And port to side will be ok right?
September 22, 201212 yr I took "beast ass" to be a compliment, but than again I'm over 40 and don't know all the popular phrases.
September 22, 201212 yr I took "beast ass" to be a compliment, but than again I'm over 40 and don't know all the popular phrases.Yeah, I'm curious to find out what it means too.
September 22, 201212 yr im thinking the "beastass" comment was a + IMO but thats because to me there is no such other Forums that are worthy enough to be even compared to SSA but im just BIAS! cause i always like the best!
