good stuff, where did you find those aero ports? And what do you think a good port per foot for those would be?

Also i read the the Port area per foot is suspose to be around 15-18. That is what is screwing everything up for me... maybe external port?

The dowel displacement will be Pie (3.14)*Radius*Radius*Length of dowel/1728. now with that said.. im working on my config for these exact 2 subs as well.. im having a hell of a time...

Not my area of Expertise.. but go to the XS sponsorship page down the forum a little and there is alot of good things to read. Ohh and I hear Kinetik is poo.. don't know from experience though just what i read.

For that $400 you can get an xspower D3100 battery ^^^^ better route I'm getting some XS powers for my 2nd battery when I do my Re-Build

They are online for about $189... i bought mine at a Store in town for $189. So you should punch your friend in the stomach

Yeah I currently have 1 15" in a ported box and it does great, I like 15's. But I was thinking if I did two I would not have the room, I defiantly would if i were to just do a ported box, but with a 4th order i might not be able to achieve that. A Hairtrick isnt my main goal.. i just kinda threw that in there for fun. This is all going in a hatchback, so behind my back seats if i build the box up all thee way and slope it down it would be close to 10 cubic feet. Appreciate the help thanks JDubs

Am I dumb for posting something like this? the reason why you arent really getting any serious answers is because its virtually impossible to tell you which setup will play low notes better. Gotcha, thanks! I guess i will just have to figure out what sounds best to me then lol. I need a car audio for dummys book or something

Am I dumb for posting something like this?

I don't really plan on designing the box well.. because I don't fully understand how to still. I was just under the assumption to view this as a good box build.

I wanna hit hard, and hit the lows too. I'm pretty set on doing a 4th order design but here are my options due to space. I can do either: 1 18 3 12's 4 10's What would be best for hitting those lows and maybe a :hairtrick: or two

All my old stuff goes to friends lol.. I gave my brother all my old crap for free.

helps minimize port noise and turbulence. basically the less 90 degree angles the better. Ahh thanks I will keep that in mind now when I do my next design

Rockford t2500 bd's are only $850 on ebay with a year warranty from SMD sponsor AudioSavings.com

All these are less then Tom Brady's salary

What does having the port rounded do to the box? Anything? or is it just for looks?

hrm so I am able to go above 5kRmS depending on my electrical/battery situation? Thats good to know

Could I even run that much watts? I have a DC power alternator coming soon 270amp, they were telling me i could run about 5000 watts for my system.

I currently have 1 15 Sxx in my car. Thats why im upgrading. Maybe it was the Soundstream that had bad things written about it. I dunno lol. But i found a brand new 18 RE XXX on craigslist for $600

I was thinking DC level 4 or XL. Maybe a Digital design? I dont know really.. i'm still in the looking to see whats good process. I have RE right now.. and i like them, but i don't hear good things about there XXX 18'. I don't hear alot of bad things about DC, Digital Designs, Ascendant Audio or FI... but this is just from reading. Im not familiar with all the brands yet.

Thats what i assumed... just making sure though. I'm still kinda ruh-tarded when it comes to everything. I might just double up what i have right now.. and have 2 15inch SXX subs. Still not sure though, not making any moves till im certain on what i want, what i can make sound best.

what would the difference be between 2 15's and 1 18? Such as loudness, bass, ect. Im looking at 1000 rms a piece if i go 15's. But if i do 1 18, i would do a 2500+Rms sub.

10 cubes gross.

No, the only thing i put in the box design was the Port so far. I am still researching everything i need to know and this isnt going to happen untill i figure out what the hell I'm doing. But i used the box design calculator that is on this website (torrez i think?) and according to my measurements of my hatchback I have about 10 Cubic feet to work with.
