Hello all! This will be the first time I actually try to build a box from scratch (finally have a place to do it). I've been playing with Torres' Calcuator and can't seem to find an appropriate mix of Net Volume, Port Area/cubic ft, and tuning frequency.
So here's the program: http://i.imgur.com/n9EJs.jpg
And this is my thought process so far.
I have 2 12" Kicker CVRs (the older silver and red style)
They're powered by a 1000 watt alpine (so obviously not actually 1000 watts)
They're going into a Suburban so space isn't much of an issue as long as it fits widthwise and doesn't tower over the seats.
I read that the CVR's like about 2.25 cubic feet each when everything is said and done so I think the Net Volume should be around 4.5 cubic feet...correct?
I know it doesn't show it in the picture but I was envisioning the subs face up with the port facing out on a seperate wall, with 0 common walls.
As far as tuning I'm open to suggestions. I'd prefer volume over quality (seems to be the theme of my ride so far), but again I have little experience in this side of car electronics. Maybe a lower frequency will travel better or give that earthquake vibe I love so much? Again open to any advice you guys want to throw out, even if it's don't nail your hand to the mdf.
