    sealing the box forward from the trunk will help alot...gets rid of alot of ass rattle too...you can use cardboard to make templates to fill the gaps on the side of the box...so you dont have to spray foam the hell outta the trunk...i would also suggest using real sound deadener or sound dampener instead of trying to use spray foam...

    aero ports are the easier option for tunable boxes...i will tell you now with the equipment you listed your going to come nowhere close to sounding as loud as 2 15s...i dont care what kind of box you build...not trying to be a dick

  6. WTB Amp

    go with the AP1800 if you can afford it...AP make relatively good amps for the price..they do rated power and are small enough that you might be able to mount it under a seat to keep it outta sight

    believe it of not...2 kicker comp 15s on a PPI PC2350 at 1ohm...in 5cubes sealed...sealed forward in a 94 cavalier 2door...that number was with the rear seats up too..I honestly think I could have hit a 150 if the seats folded down and I had figured out my resonant frequency...the 148.8 was on music too...dbDrag sealed on the dash

    here is the amp i was running..well same kind..not the actual amp..

    use cardboard to make templates of the gaps you need to fill..thats the easiest way

    trunk rattle being way less is just a great bonus of sealing off forward...I understand what your saying about it doesnt seem as loud outside the car...I am not sure why but the same thing is going on with my 18 in my Jeep...its loud inside the car and not as loud as you would think or expect outside...which to me is a plus..as I can bang on it all I want and not worry too much about cops hearing me coming

  22. Random Tuning Question

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    my box is tuned to 35hz per Rusty's recommendation...my Jeep's resonant frequency is 47hz..and my spl peaked at the high 40s to 50hz range...I am sure I could pull higher db's if I tuned my box to something in the mid 40s but then I dont think I would like the overall sound...I was never really building the box for numbers

    just giving you an idea of what happened with my setup

  24. BOX CONFUSION??

    if you have never built a wall or any type of 4th or 6th order I would say try to clamshell or powerV (clamshell sideways) as it would be much easier to figure your cubes with a more basic design...

    as for less cubes for running more than RMS I have DC lvl3 18 and am using recommended cubes while running 300 over RMS to it which is roughly the same type of power your going to get to the 6 with 7k...you really only drop cubes if your running at MAX not really for just a bit above RMS...

    if I were you I would consider running 4 at MAX power rather than 6 at just above RMS..it would free you up to upgrade ALT for the the price of the 2 extra 15s and maximize your electrical and the power of your amp/s...I mean Jesus 4 15s on 7k should be damn loud!

    box similar in design to this rolled on its side
