nighthawk Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 this is gonna be my daily driver i have 2 sundown x18s planing on running 1500-2000 to each but i have no clue what kind of enclosure would be best for them or what to tune to i know the x lines are suppose to be for the brutal lows but what do you tune something like that to i got some measurements earlier an this is what i got 50in(wide) 49in(from back seat to the back of the doors) (its going in a 1993 astro lt awd) and i would really like to keep it under 32in tall to see out my back windows but if it needs to be taller fuck it i just want those lows tearing my car up (i have no experience with box calculations but i am curious on the mathematics behind building enclosures so if any of you got some links so i could learn a little more id appreciate it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandpride684 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hit that search button if you want to find out about enclosures, a lot of topics about it on here and post in subwoofer/enclosure section to get more responses...

SteveOrtiz1985 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 The x series do really well in 4th order enclosures. About 2.5 cubes per sub sealed in a 3:1 ratio tuned to 40hz. You'll have no problem hitting 10 hz (if that's what you want) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigManAC Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I built a box for a X15 and tuned it to 30Hz and played within the range of 25-40hz and sounded amazing. Im at school now but when I get home Ill see if I can draw something up. (If JoeX hasnt already responed with a box design) Quote 2001 Saturn L200-Sony MEX-BT4100PFRONT STAGE:- (4) Crescendo PWX 6- Cadence XA250.2SUB STAGE:-Fi Audio BL 15 (Sealed Off)-Crescendo BC2kELECTRICAL:- Singer 240A alt - XS Power D3400- SkyHigh OFC power/speaker wire- Big 3 with SkyHigh 0gaugeBuild Log: Click HereScores: 146.5db @ 29hz Outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
