  1. just go to the link i posted and mess around with it...
  2. a really simple and semi-accurate calculator can be found here http://www.reaudio.com/speaker_box/LPort_Box_Calc.html there is also a sticky at the top of this section with torre's box calculator
  3. take a look at this pic...height and width give you the area (square inches) of port...the length adjust tuning for a given port area. length is suppose to be measured down the middle of the box indicated by the red line... there is also something called 'end correction' which equates to half the ports width if you are using a box wall as part of the port, as illustrated in the below pic, then the port actually becomes longer than it physically is so physical length + end correction = effective length of the port the volume the port takes up inside the box also need to be subtracted from the box volume when calculating frequency...its like a giant loop equation....when u adjust port length, it adjust the box's net volume, which in turn adjust the tuning..
  4. the width need to be the same throughout the entire length of the port....if your port is suppose to be longer than the depth of your box you make a bend...like an "L"...
  5. isnt much to know...just get some cheap resin at home depot or lowes...comes with hardener follow the instructions on how much hardener to mix with the resin...too much hardener and that shit will literally be super hot to the touch and wont give u much work time...and may also crack and just get a cheap foam brush or two and a small mixing bucket...its pretty simple..
  6. if anything just get some resin for a temporary fix to seal it up but i would eventually build a new one and resin the outside to seal it from water damage...i had to do this in my trunk because it also leaked a little
  7. i get a tuning of about 32hz...and about .99cft net...which all sounds good i would remove the brace though..probably restricting air flow out of the port and i would also make sure you have a few inches between your port and the cab wall its firing into
  8. hey jacob....do u use ups for international shipping? if you do i use to work in the international department at ups...and my job was getting packages out of customs in situations like this...i still have contact with a team lead in the department, so if u ever need anything let me know and i can ask her to look into it.
  9. not only power, but also frequency as stated above which is why it shouldnt be considered for a daily driver...just strictly for burp setups imo...especially with crazy power..
  10. is that shriner's fest? didnt click the link...if it is, its a pretty big car show (not just audio)..the one year i went attendance sucked at the audio show, which was weird...but id love to go back...was fun and lots of awesome cars. the dc mobile electronic guys are good guys...have a super loud van and other rides as well
  11. yes..95% of the time u are louder with a combo of windows down or door open in my accord i had subs forward, ports firing to the drivers side metter in the passenger seat drivers door all the way open in my experience you want to open door/window on same side as your port, and put the meter on the opposite side but its ALL TOTALLY trial and error....test test test test...then test your tests and with the meter at the headrest i would be surprised if most people peak above 50hz...unless your box is tuned super high....seems the headrest likes lower notes (higher 30s-higher 40s)
  12. i dont believe your enclosure must be bolted down batteries must be "secure"...you should be fine..make sure ur extra battery is secure though if u run an amature class it must be music from a commercial cd with no cuss words(i think it can be burned/ipod...not 100% sure on that though) for anything other than amature you can use tones. amature is car off and i 'think' the meter must be in the drivers seat you can leave ur current fusing as long as you make sure you add another fuse (based on your class) is within 18" of your amp edit: with that amp at 2 ohms u should be able to run AS1 no problem..no problem
  13. no...u would have to fire them up..18s in a trunk just arent a good idea most the time do two 15s or even two beefier 12s
  14. congrats! james is good guy....he competes in meca also...so i have met him a few times...
