epic thread is epic.

im going to the michigan show on may 6th, they are INSANE live. totally worth it.

sounds AMAZING, way better then my old sealed box, i found out my headunit is really ruining my sq, the crossovers in my deck are terrible ( sony cdx-gt200) will try to replace the deck as soon as i can so i can properly set the gain/bass boost and freq on the amp

hehe i cant wait :slayer:

ill probably carpet it or sand it down and paint it flat black in the summer, too busy with college to give a damn on how it looks.. lol up next on the build: big 3 upgrade 0 gauge. pioneer TS- A series 6.5inch fronts and 6x9 rears possibly a new head unit soundproofing all 4 doors and trunk! new battery when the toyota factory one starts showing signs of age

so this is the first ever woofer box that me and my friend assembled, it was a good learning experience, box dimensions were as follows 12inch height 30 inch width 20 inch depth 3.2 cubic feet port specs 3.5inches width 10.5inches height internal port length (21.75") giving me a tuning frequency of 36hz port area per foot = 15.91 inches2 3/4 inch mdf used with wood glue on all joints with pilot-drilled wood screws. then silicone on the inside, Big credit to 412 CVX for helping me out on how to properly design this box . and now the porn . sorry for the monster size pics , first phase just getting the panels all lined up for test fitment walls and port walls are in clamps in this pic are just holding the smaller port wall in place while screws are being drilled in to lock it in place , also woofer cutouts have been measured out so they are spaced apart nice and evenly!. woofer holes cut out, you can see the previous day we decided to put silicone on the joints a bit early , getting ready to put the final piece in!!!, terminal was screwed into place and siliconed, we had to use a dremel to shorten the screws we were using so it wouldnt go all the way through the mdf for the terminal cup. ALL DONE!! now i have to wait until tomorrow evening to put subs in and try my new box out!! btw this will be going in the trunk of a 2009 toyota yaris sedan.. lol powered by a mtx tc3001 mono d amp, both subs are SVC 4 ohm 10inch Kicker COMPs , wired for 2 ohms as the amp puts out 300watts RMS at 2 ohm cant wait to hear some slayer and arch enemy from this new box .

thanks for help joe x!, 412 cvx helped me out and we both came to a design on the box, will post up specs and pics when its done

any links to websites where they explain port area/port length? i understand port area( dont understand how its calculated) , port length i dont understand either. damn if only you took EMT i would have already paid you to design me one going thru torres calculator now to try to figure this all out..

ah cool ,thanks for the advice, if ported sounds better then id do it, i just don't know how big to make the port/where to put it on the box, how to run the baffles on the inside of the box or what freq to tune it at..

sweet, thanks for the advice, lets say i wanted to upgrade to the 10inch kicker compVR or VX in the future , would a 2.5 cubed sealed be enough? (for 2 of them). i wouldnt mind being able to reuse the box ( im on a budget, college student and whatnot. i was lucky to get these subs and amp for cheap anyway )

should i make it smaller? ( the current box is 1.9 cubes) but it was built poorly ( hole for the wires instead of a proper terminal.) 2.5 - 3.5 cubes?

ok so im going with the sealed box, why not give it a shot. heres how i plan on building the box as per kicker spec, from the Kicker Comp manual. my main question is , i double checked the dimensions using torre's box tuning calculator and it gave me something different, torre's box tuning calculator says that front/back (A) panels should be in between the top/down( B ) panels like ( C ) is in the figure above. now i dont know how to build it, should i follow the figure above and build it like that or put the front/back (A) panels in between the top/down ( B ) panels. ??? A

i havent built it yet , i planned to build it tommorow with a friend, all i have done is cut out the panels in those dimensions.

dimensions of the box i want to build width 33 inches height 14 inches depth 20 inches cubic feet = 4.21549 thats how big the new sealed box is supposed to be.

truth be told i dont hear any rattling from my car.. (only some change in the cup holder lol, would it be hard to convert the box to a ported box after i build it as a sealed? , im gonna go to bestbuy/futureshop and try to listen to some metal on ported boxes and see how it sounds, if i really like it ill make a ported box tommorow using the dimensions i posted above. in the event that i do what freq should i tune it at and where should i put the slot on the box?.
