  1. I was wondering if anyone has had experience making a jl audio 13w7 4th order bandpass for 2 subs. I have tried to use the box calculators online but I cant figure it out. I have also emailed jl audio several times to see if they would know what the chamber sizes would be but so far havent recieved any responses from them. I am putting the subs in the trunk of a 1965 chevelle convertible so I would like to bring the port vbglossarlink.gif into the cabin. Im not sure how having no cabin pressure will affect the sound vbglossarlink.gif so im thinking tuning lower then the normal 45hz, maybe like 35 hz or so. The specs on the subs are:

    qes vbglossarlink.gif: .476

    qms: 7.517

    qts: .448

    fs: 23.5hz

    vas: 104liters

    xmax: 32mm

    sd: .0693m sq

    Pe: 1500

    no: .269%

    I have a huge trunk so size isnt an issue. Some people were saying 4th orders were a 2:1 ratio ported/sealed but I have also read that isnt always the case. So if anyone can help with the box calculator that would be sweet.

  2. alright man, Seriously. read the rules. Please. You may not understand why there are no "VS" threads but all they do is start flame wars and cause arguments.I'm such a rent-a-mod now. But i did p.m. you telling you this already so i figured maybe you didn;t see it.

    Whats wrong with flame wars, at least it makes it fun. You are more like a hall monitor than a moderator anyways, no one likes a hall monitor.

    I'm not here to make friends.

    Well lets see not here to make friends, not here to give advice, then what are you here for?

  4. Main thing I jsut want to know is about the ratio, if its 1:2 does that mean the 1 is the normal rated for sealed and the 2 is just 2 x that size, or 2 size the size of what rec ported is for the sub. I did that formula you said and I got a 12.546 or sealed or 4th, looks like it will work by 2 things I have seen so far.

    Yeah i got that info from this site, alot of interesting stuff, but not much in the way of calculating the enclosure. http://www.decibelcar.com/menudiy/61.html
  5. Well yeah thats the first thing i did also was to check to see if the sub will work.

    I used this formula from somewhere i forget. (EBP= 1/qes * FS). And with that number it says 100 or more is ported or 6th order. 50 or less is sealed or 4th order and between 50-100 is any but im guessing they wont work as well but still work. The problem im having probably like you is getting the correct chamber size and port size. I tried using the software online but I cant figure it out, so im going to bug the manufacturer till they give me chamber sizes.

  6. Some people say 1/4" fiberglass = 3/4 mdf, I have heard its 3/8". I saw on an old forum here a guy braced fiberglass with cut sections of rope saturated with resin to create more curves inside the box. I made a set of all fiberglass enclosures for my truck they turned out well and now im working on a giant box for my chevelle so I can mold it to the floor and trunk dimensions. It is friggin expensive though, im guessing 10 gallons of resin and as much as a couple hundred yards of thin mat. I think they build the base from wood because its much easier and cheaper.

  7. Looks like you got an internal volume of 4.75 cu ft box. ive read that its 13-15cu inch of port space for each cubic foot of box. So it looks like between 61.75 and 71.25. sq inch of port space. This is just a guess based on stuff i read, not sure about it though. maybe a 6" port 12" long?. Thats just a guess though man from what ive read. Plus dc audio lists the suggested ported box size at 3.5 cubic feet for a 15" so not sure if box is too big?

  8. not to be a rent-a-mod or anything.

    but the other reason your not getting any replies is you FAILED TO READ THE RULES!!!

    there is NO what is better, whos the best, or VS threads WHAT SO EVER.

    people on this forum very rarely help others who DO NOT READ!!!!

    if you cant read the rules, why should we help you? you probably wont read it anyways.

    Dude you are tripping, its not a vs thread, and its not a what would be louder thread either. Its a what sub will work for this enclosure type the best thread. I dont see how that breaks any rules. I wouldnt want to put a sub made for a ported enclosure in a sealed type box because its not meant for that.
