gckless Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Invert them, or do plexi. Brace well. Quote "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.

dblovah51 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Inverted should be sexy, plexi may be that extra cost they aren't willing to pay lol Quote 2004 trailblazer 4 FI BTL 18s (2) DC 10.0k xs power d3100s mechman 270 158.2 @41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblovah51 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Was going to do top port, what are the pros/cons of driver port I've read the con is unbalanced sound for a daily ride not sure if that's true never did driver port always centered or top.

g2shuck Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Drivers port will meter higher and hot seat the passenger better Quote 2000 Toyota Camry With Sealed Off Trunk Sky High OFC Wiring DC Power 270 XP Alt AQ 2200 Sub Amp Two DC Level 4 m2 12s 80 Mil Murdetmat Gathering Parts For Wall Build.

zack_e89 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 This is exactly what I'm doing right now, except shooting for a 34 Hz tuning. Something interesting: I noticed just last week that DC has actually changed their specs on their website for ported enclosures for 18s from 6 to 5.5 cubes net. What do you think about this?
