Posted June 15, 201411 yr New Amps. Temp mids/highs setup till the box gets built. Subs. First family photo. Kids are excited as I am. Son wanted to show me he could lift it.
June 15, 201411 yr Author Thanks. Yeah, probably bed liner. It'll get done before Slamfest in September.
June 15, 201411 yr What do you mean?Iv just seen some people recently doing that same style port and was wondering if there was a reason behind it. . Is it just because of space issues with the subs or something?
June 15, 201411 yr Why does it seem weird to you? Its a portIt doesn't seem weird, I'm asking if there was a reason. . I try to learn everything I can about audio. My bad lolAnd a port is not just a port. There is usually a reason for a certain way someone does there port Edited June 15, 201411 yr by frogcase2002
June 16, 201411 yr Author Didn't want a long skinny port across the bottom and didn't have the width to do a center or side port so this is what I came up with. May end up shrinking it. Have to wait for the subs to break in and see. Really lacking on the low end right now. Plays it fine and the subs are moving good, but there's just no authority behind it. May try to block off the open area, where my batts are, under the box in the back. Think maybe it could be losing it there also. Edited June 16, 201411 yr by PHATBOi
June 16, 201411 yr Author The Plan: First thing I'm gonna do is pull everything out and put the third row seat back in then fold it down flat back into the hole where my batts currently are. This will give me a solid floor for the box to sit on and port to fire over. I think that will force a lot of lost output back into the cabin. If that still doesn't get me to where I think it should, next I will try turning the box around and firing the port into the cabin. Last resort, cover the port and drop 3 8" sonotubes in the top baffle, opposite the subs. At 12.45" a piece, they will give me around 150 sqin of port area and a tuning of 28Hz.
June 17, 201411 yr Author Before the teardown last night Found out why my voltage has been so low, that's my front batt So this happened And this is what it looks like now Putting this seat back in made all the difference in the world. Port is now loading off the hatch instead of dumping into the open space that was under the box. Brought the lows out!!
June 18, 201411 yr Author Yeah, I'd say the lows have definitely come in. The great thing about it is it still hammers the higher end also.
June 28, 201411 yr Author Sealed up legal on the dash 34Hz burp Driver's side rear sliding door open 34Hz burp Sealed up legal peak hold on music, Decaf- Dirty Bass (33Hz) My only goal was to break a 45 on music. Mission accomplished!! Need to stop the flex in my roof and rear hatch. I'm sure I'll gain once that's taken care of.
