Posted November 18, 201311 yr Hey guys. I need a little help designing a ported enclosure for my new Crystal CMPx2 15". It's going to go in the trailblazer for now. I listen to nearly everything so I'm looking for a good daily build. I could be off but I'm thinking I want to tune somewhere between 31-33Hz so I can get some lows. My size limitations are 46" wide x 16" high x 14" deep. I have a little wiggle room on height and depth, but I'd like to keep as much space as possible in the Trailblazer. I will post T/S parameters below and I expect to be running at 1500+ watts with maybe a little headroom, probably going to just grab a RF T1500bdcp, unless I get a better deal on something else. I'd really appreciate the help guys! Fs 23.5 Hz QMs 7.33 VAS 4.2 cu ft / 119 Liters CMs .123 mm / N MMd 12.7 oz / 360 Grams Xmax 1.10 in / 28 mm Qes .56 Re 2.0 Ohms Z 2.0 Ohms BL 14.0 Telsa / M Power Handling 1600 Watts RMSQts .52 SPL 92.2 dB Voice Coil Diameter 3.0" Displacement .3 cu ft Mounting Depth 7 3/8"

November 19, 201311 yr Admin IIRC, when we were playing with them off the old Zapco AG750's, we were leaning fairly small enclosure wise, on average. Why not grab the IA 10.1 while on sale?
November 19, 201311 yr Author Aaron... I was considering it. I'd rather have the 20.1 but it's outta my range. I'll tell you this, if I can raise enough money for the 10.1 before the sale ends, I'll probably just grab one.

November 19, 201311 yr Don't know how quick you need one, I'm in Vegas for the week, if you know your preference on tuning and box size I can help you with a design and cut sheet when I get home.
November 19, 201311 yr Author Sub will be here Monday, but I'm not in a huge hurry. Max dimensions/tuning available in first post. I'm very interested in what you have to say Q, your crazy enclosures for the Ethos' you posted intrigue me.

November 20, 201311 yr Did you buy this off ebay? I thought this sub was comparable to the XXX v3 back in the day?
November 20, 201311 yr I would say 3.6-4.0 cu ft. @ your tuning. Do some playing around with winisd, exc.
November 20, 201311 yr You're a class act bassink.Just wants what's best for you man. And Quentin can do that lol
November 22, 201311 yr Author Q I think I'm looking for something exotic. I have no reservations when it comes to the construction so feel free to get crazy. I think your time is worth my money as well, so when you get back and ready to work, please accept.

I think your time is worth my money as well, so when you get back and ready to work, please accept.You've got to give me an idea of what you are looking to do as far as asthetics. And refresh me on outter dimensions.
November 26, 201311 yr Author My size limitations are 46" wide x 16" high x 14" deep. I have a little wiggle room on height and depth, but I'd like to keep as much space as possible in the Trailblazer. Power will be at 750w RMS @ 4 ohm until I can keep up with ~1500 @ 1 ohm. Might be able to at start up I'll have to see. As far as aesthetics man, I'm open to anything. Tuning I'm open to anything, just looking for as flat as possible response from 30 (or lower) to 63Hz. Thank you so much bro.
