  2. Box design approval + Question about woofer placement

    unless I'm wrong, you forgot to change the port height AB18VFL. Thanks for your input, I'm trying to balance quite a bit and with this being my first ported build i want to make sure I'm taking steps in the right direction. I listen to pretty much everything. For sure a good chunk of dubstep and rap/hip hop, but i still would like some musical capability for other genres, though they get a slight bit less playing time in my Jeep

    wow youre right, i did forget to change the port height.

    i listen to alot of dubstep and metal. yesterday i build a big box alot like the design i gave you, except for a 12. im very happy with it.

    The last time I looked up a TC sub, it recommended a small sealed box. Which goes along with what Socky stated. soft parts. If you find a deal on a SA or a fosgate and put it in the box you built, I bet it would produce the bass you are looking for. If you keep the TC build a small sealed box and see how the sub responds

    i like the way you think.

    Today I built a box for my 12" TC9 proto. The sub can supposedly it can handle up to 1500rms. It's dual 2 ohm (each coil is sitting at a constant 1.7ohm). The box is 2.2 cubes tuned to 34hz with 12 sq in of port per cube (14.5h x 18w x 24d). I'm only running 600rms to it via JBL monoblock @1ohm. It has no subsonic filter (guessing it's built in), lowpass is around 80, and gains were set with my DD-1.

    I built the box long, instead of wide, with sub and port on the front of the box. This is roughly what it looks like (and enjoy my artwork).

    When I play really loud, my sub starts bottoming out on some lower frequencies. I heard the coil bounce off the backplate a couple times, but got to the volume knob before it was too late. Also, some lower notes seem to have that "unloading" sound. Is this all happening because of there being too much airspace behind the cone of my woofer?

    yeah i kind of figured it would end up eventually being a vs post, but i could really use some input from some other people since i cant decide.

    this was a vs thread from the start kiddo.

    obsidian audio to answer your question.

    I've never heard of obsidian i will have to look into it. but i just really like the two that i stated in the beginning of this post.

    obsidians are cheaper priced than skars, and i personally like the way theyre built alot better than skar...no offense to skar though, their subs are still killer subs.
