The port area of each side is way to big. If your going to build it as 2 separate chambers, like your first photo, just design one side and build the other the same. Dont try and design for the entire area, it will just get confusing. Your port length is measured from the face of the port opening to the end of the opening on the inside measured down the center of the port. Also the port should remain the same width all the way thru.

I see that you say not to use these under the hood, probably because of heat. In my minitruck all my batteries are in the bed. Would it be ok to use these as the only battery source for the vehicle. Would probably have 3-4 of them back there.

The Porter Cable is a bad ass router. Provisional grade fit and finish. Thats on my list of new tools that I want. I also have 2 Ryobi routers that have served me well for the past few years.

Right on. Properly glued joints and good bracing is all you need. Doubling up everything just adds weight and takes up more space.

I believe its 13.25 per net which is just fine. It may not be optimum for getting as much SPL as possible but it will sound good. I would suggest that you try and make the port as square as possible instead of a long narrow port but with a wall in that space it may be difficult.

I have been watching SOHO vids on and off for years. That is one hell of a CME. Its not very often you see them blast straight at the camera like that. Impressive for sure.

I would be shooting for a box around 8 cubes net tuned around 36hz if it was for me. Anywhere around 14-16 sq in of port per net cube would be fine. If you trying to get more SPL a larger port will help but I think it would sound better around 14 sq in per net.

I just read your other thread and here is what I would suggest. Keep the L7's, build a proper box with the proper port and take the 300 you would have spent on the DC sub and buy a good 1ohm stable amp. You are only scratching the potential of those L7's with your setup. That setup has to be leaking some crazy air with the cracked up pieces of 1x screwed to the front of that box and that port is wayyyyyy to small for those subs.

I have an 04 XB. Its a tank. Most reliable vehicle I have next to my 2004 Silverado. I love that lunch box.

That would work but personally I would lower the port area and shrink the box to the recommended volume. For DC's I use recommended area or a tad smaller depending on power. As for port area i would lower it to the 14-16 inch range. Especially if its more for listening enjoyment than spl numbers on a mic. Dont make the port any skinnier either, reduce the width. That will give you little more room in the vehicle too. The smaller port area will shorten the port length and reduce the gross volume even more. Yea, check the number of common port walls and im assuming your going to brace this in a few places inside. Add your bracing displacement also.

hey its fixed 80

80 or "eighty" is the mega shock gif and the link to the image is broken.

I think the Level 6's are a lot more musical. They both seem to hit as hard as the other. I was in 2 different vehicles with different setups so take that into consideration. I would put the Level 6 up as a nasty daily ground pounding sub. The Neo as a close runner up in that category but with more SPL potential. And a hell of a lot lighter.

Same here. I have no door locks. Its all removed, actuators and all.
