Posted June 26, 201312 yr So I'm good at building enclosures.....calculating ported enclosures? Not so much. I've just bought a new tow vehicle and using some budget equipment to put a nice setup in it. These are new items I've had laying around to put into a project car I'm building that won't be finished for a while. Vehicle : 2004 Escalade ESV (Suburban sized one)Location in the vehicle: Rear hatch, against the 3rd row. Want to keep some cargo roomSpace available (Length x Width x Height): 46" wide is set. 16" deep is set. The height is my variable. 20" is maximum. All dimensions are internal. Subwoofer make and model: Subwoofers are JBL GTO 4 ohm modelsSubwoofer Size: 12"Number of Subwoofers: 4Type of Port (Kerfed, Slot, Aero, etc.): any but prefer slotted (Subs up, port back. Box against the 3rd row seat to leave room for cargo against the hatch)What type of music do you like?: Rap BUT I hate the rattle trap boom that most rap fans like. Is your goal SPL or Everyday Music?: Everyday musicTuning Freq (Hz): 30Volume : ? Questions: So, recommended enclosures from JBL are 1.75 cuft. This INCLUDES driver and port displacement. The recommended port is 4" round x 10" long which tunes it to 34 hz. My questions are: Has anyone built a ported enclosure for these subs? If so what was your size/results? If I go with recommended enlosure, how to I go about doing the port? I'd rather do a single port, not 4 individuals. Any suggestions? P.S. Subs will be on 1800W for all 4. Thanks in advance
