I realize there are not many pro kicker people on here, and after doing more research i wish i had saved up for a 15" Q, but i've got this and i want to make it work
current setup
2 kicker CVR 12 dual 2
in 4 cubes at 30 hertz
http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported...mp;Fs=&CE=0
with no 45's but with lots of resin coating the inside of the box
3/4 MDF with single baffle
This is in a Ford Taurus {i know, i'm a student}
i currently have the subs and port facing the cabin with the seats folded down.
this setup is probably the loudest and cleanest in my school, but i know it could do more [that why i'm here].
i had this in mind [very rough sketch] and i'm getting very confused with all of the port calculations and none of the online calculators seem to be like how i'm trying to design this
i can either do subs up port into cabin, subs back port back [horrible trunk rattle and i'm too poor for deadening], or subs on sides port front or back [maybe both ].
my max dimensions are 30 inches wide, 25 inches deep, and 15.5 inches tall [16 if really necessary]
i'm looking for around 30 hz tuning with about 2 cubic feet or airspace per driver.
my port length [from what i have tried to calculate] is somwhere between 35 inches and 40 inches.
i was hoping someone could help me put some exact number to this design so i could try to tweek it myself. hopefully this new box will last me a while. I have full access to extremely strong resin, fiberglass 38 mil thick [from a local pipeline company], and woven carbon fiber fabric [same source]. so i have some good resources, i just need help with a plan.
I'm looking for more SPL than i'm getting now without sacrificing SQ if possible. i know my current box needs 45's, more bracing, and probably better port design. hoping someone has some spare tiem to help me learn how to calculate this, i'm just getting thrown off by the 2 ports merging. i've seen it done lots, but never any explanation.
EDIT: sorry for the long post
