February 1, 201411 yr Do you already have the subs?? You should of went with 10s. Your box is not going to be big enough and have enough port area with those dimensions.
February 1, 201411 yr Author Do you already have the subs?? You should of went with 10s. Your box is not going to be big enough and have enough port area with those dimensions. Yes, I have the subs. It may not be the best possible volume, but a great sound can still be had. So what is the best config for driver side focus of sound?
February 1, 201411 yr Volume is one thing, port area is the other. Neither of them area going to be good. If I were you I would just do one 1 12 and sell the other. That's the best solution I feel. If you absolutely need 2 then I can design something up.

Here is another attempt at Torres: Edited February 1, 201411 yr by Jasonc13
February 1, 201411 yr Author Add 1 for extra number of baffles and change the number of port walls to 3.Ok, Thanks! Is 50in^2 the lowest port area I should use? I have been aiming for 32Hz tuning, is that about right?
February 1, 201411 yr That's 25in2 per. The lowest should be around 35in2 per.It'll do if that's all you can get but just be ready for some port noise.
February 2, 201411 yr Author That's 25in2 per. The lowest should be around 35in2 per.It'll do if that's all you can get but just be ready for some port noise.Will this be slight whistling at max volumes? I'm buying wood tomorrow. At least I can build the outside, while the guts still get sorted out

It will surely be better than the Type Rs I have. Would 2 10s or a single 15 have been the best choice with the space I have?
February 5, 201411 yr Author What is a good source for speaker wire and a Stinger display? Wire seems pricey at sonicelectronix and the like. What gauge should I use for the Xcons? Edited February 6, 201411 yr by Jasonc13

February 6, 201411 yr Author Is the stinger no good? I figured it was better than the cheapo units on ebay.Thanks bass! Edited February 6, 201411 yr by Jasonc13

March 4, 201411 yr Author Finally making some progress: Good news is the box will be larger than originally planned. Port area is 56.25in2, net volume is 4.48ft3 tuned to 30Hz. Is 30Hz too low? I still havent made the final cut on port length. Man I can't wait to hear/FEEL these suckers!!
March 4, 201411 yr 30 is low ! But you may like it. I like to tune around 33, 34. It gives me everything I want : good punch in the higher bass notes, and good lows too.I'm not listening to Decaf songs regularly, I'm more into reggae. BTW Xcons are fantastic subs. Nice choice.
March 4, 201411 yr Author Tuning higher does give more net volume, so Im all for that! House/Techno with strong builds is my fav music, but I do listen to rap and rock. You think 32-33 would be a good tuning?
