DylanBunch Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 So you didnt calculate the smaller box and how the port tuning would change because of losing a half cubeNo I did, but we had the pieces of the box cut already. All it did was go from 33 to 34 hz and he was aiming for 33-35 2006 Ford Explorer 2 Team AA/Sundown 15s 6th order Ct Sounds 7k 4 PRV Mr500 8s Rockford p1000-2 Team Subsonic Lows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toofast4u Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I think it's more of a box problem than your woofers not breaking in. 4.7^3 is small for those woofers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) I think it's more of a box problem than your woofers not breaking in. 4.7^3 is small for those woofers. This I'd do 6 cubes after displacements, and tune it down @30 w/ the proper port per ft. Which for those should be between 14 - 18 in2 Then you should be happy Edited June 19, 2013 by Purplehaze Kickin' Cruiser Seller Feedback Stage 3 Dash, Door Panels,4th Order wall 4 - 15'son a DC 5.0K 2 DC 5.0K'sSolo X 15 (v.2) Sub Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanBunch Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thanks guys, ill tell my friend he should build a bigger box. Although honestly, we were bangin on them for about 20 minutes straight today and they're already getting louder. Hes leaving for DC Saturday and I'm trying to talk him into letting me put them in my car the week he's gone haha 2006 Ford Explorer 2 Team AA/Sundown 15s 6th order Ct Sounds 7k 4 PRV Mr500 8s Rockford p1000-2 Team Subsonic Lows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesyrup Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Well on skars website it says like 2.1-3.0 cbft for 1 15 and I figured even though 600 watts is conservative a box on the small-middle size couldn't hurt sites often put small enclosure specs to make a sub look more appealing, but they do not mention how they will respond in that small of a box. If it were me, I'd get as close to 4 cubes per 15" as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPLadd1ct Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 My enclosure for a pair of 12s is 5.0 cubic feet net (after all displacements). It plays very flat and has no problem smashing lows with pretty much any subs I put in there....I would personally aim for 7.0 cubes net for the pair of vvx 15's....Tune to 32hz and call it a day...if you arn't concerned with with upper end so much don't be afraid to tune to 26-27... My enclosure as stated above is tuned to 26hz and it sounds great and has a nice flat response, it pushes a nice amount of air too (; 2011 Ford Ranger Sport 4.0 v6 2 sundown audio prototype nsv4 15s crossfire 4k wired to 0.4 ohm 15 banks of maxwell 3.0 caps @ 18v triple alts (x2 us alt 250's, x1 singer 320) 153 at 23hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanBunch Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Low 20s is too low lol and he actully needs some of his back hatch area so a 7cbft box wouldn't workout. Maybe we'll try 6cbft instead of 5.5 2006 Ford Explorer 2 Team AA/Sundown 15s 6th order Ct Sounds 7k 4 PRV Mr500 8s Rockford p1000-2 Team Subsonic Lows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am against tuning in the low 20's too, but 26-27hz is reasonable whereas low 20's is not reasonable... 2011 Ford Ranger Sport 4.0 v6 2 sundown audio prototype nsv4 15s crossfire 4k wired to 0.4 ohm 15 banks of maxwell 3.0 caps @ 18v triple alts (x2 us alt 250's, x1 singer 320) 153 at 23hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll try 6cbft instead of 5.5 The FS on those things is retarded low. If he wanted to tune at 27-28 there'd be no problem. I agree on the tuning to low 20s. There's no reason to do that unless you listen to chopped and screwed music 100% of the time. Or if you like listening to 20hz test tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
