  1. alrighty so since i am still a noob at box building, what will i have to do to help brace the box and the port?

    edit: also and as far as that box goes vs mine the port on that box is one big long one, were my box is split into two chambers and two ports of about 20 inch each instead of one for 40"

  2. Hello all! This is my first box design and im building it for my advanced woodshop class at school and im looking for some info to help it hit loudest:

    It is designed to use 2 18" level 4 subs from DC audio, its designed for mostly daily use but might do comps if i can find any in Colorado

    this is the Box

    And here is the info from the box calculator (the box is a two chamber)

    What im wondering is were is the best location for the port, it will be likely facing forwards against the trunk door of my Grand Cherokee, and i was wondering if it would be better to have it on the plane of the subs or if the box would be louder facing backwards too.

    will add link to sketchup when i figure it out :blink:

    anyway, what do you think about it and what could i change to make it louder.

  3. Alright looks like 18" is my best bet, what sub manufacturer and series would you guys recommend, also because the cones are heavier will they be able to hold that complex basslines in dubstep?

    2 fi ssd 18's would be a decent match for that amp. to be safe i'd go with the fi Q's since rockford amps are underrated.

    and as far as the cones go they'd be able to handle dubstep just fine. really the weight difference between the cones is pretty insignificant. woofer cones are made to be lightweight. now if you started getting into the 20"+ range, then there might be a difference, but you shouldn't have to worry about that.

    now since your shit got broken into last time, save up some money and put a nice security system in there too :good:

    it did have a security system but apparently not enough, im also probable going to bolt the box to the chassis of the car to keep it in for good

  4. What size of subs should i get? i was running two kicker comp 15" but my car was broken into and everything stolen, so my question is what size of subs would be best, i care more about spl than sql but i listen to fast hardstyle and complex basslines in dubstep. i have a jeep so trunk size isn't two much of an issue. I was Looking at either 4 12" or 2 15" or 2 18" eventually and ported on all, what size and subs would you recommend?
