OK, what if i unplug the remote wire and remove wires that lead from amp to subs? will that be as good as removing the fuse? because i dont know how to remove the fuse at the battery.
-
I have a hifonics BRZ1200 in my trunk and i unplugged the wires leading to my subs and wrapped them with electric tape so that they dont touch each other or anything else in the trunk. Is it safe for me to ride around like this or should i figure out how to cut the power to the amp?

so you want someone to give you a free design?
id help but not for free lol
A lot of people do free designs. If you didn't plan on helping, there really was no point of you coming in here and acting like a fucking douchebag. And acting like a fucking douchbag is not limited to this thread today.
i second this
3rd. Guys like JoeX are the shit!

how do i screw the pieces together? I feel like ill split the wood?

Ok no problem:
Enclosure Specifications:
Fb = 32.062 Hz
Vb = 2.152 ft^3
External Height = 11.5 in
External Width = 35 in
External Depth = 17.75 in
Port Width = 3 in
Cut Sheet List:
* All Dimensions in Inches.
* Wood Thickness is 3/4 for all Parts.
External Enclosure Parts:
2 x Front & Back (3 parts) = 35 x 11 1/2
Left & Right Sides = 15 1/2 x 10
Top & Bottom = 35 x 15 1/2
L Port Internal Assembly Parts:
Front to Back = 12 1/2 x 10
Extension = 12 3/4 x 10
Don't think you need the crossbrace with the double baffle.
Thanks a lot!! I'll post a pic when I'm done.

If you mean sanding the internal and external ends then for all practical matters no if it was kerfed then the effective length of the port would be reduced somewhat, the wooden rod can be whatever you think is necessary aabove 1" diameter both glued and screwed
i hate to ask but do you mind putting up dimensions for a double baffle tuned at 30-32hz? im gonna start building today and im gonna go with the double baffle design.
Thanks!
-
So I won't mess anything up when sanding the outside of the port? For example over sanding or under sanding. If I plan on Adding a dowel, what size do I use and do I screw it on or glue it on?
-
45's and sanding. What spots do I want 45's and what edges do I sand? when sanding the sharp edges of the port, is it possible to over sand?
-
If you just add a baffle layer tuning would go down but will probably be inaudible.
I guess I'm not going with double baffle. Haha does home depot cut out the holes for the subs as well?
Appreciate your help!

Here is a suggestion very much like the above:
Enclosure Specifications:
Fb = 32.048 Hz
Vb = 2.125 ft^3
External Height = 11.5 in
External Width = 35 in
External Depth = 17 in
Port Width = 3 in
Cut Sheet List:
* All Dimensions in Inches.
* Wood Thickness is 3/4 for all Parts.
External Enclosure Parts:
Front & Back = 35 x 11 1/2
Left & Right Sides = 15 1/2 x 10
Top & Bottom = 35 x 15 1/2
L Port Internal Assembly Parts:
Front to Back = 12 1/2 x 10
Extension = 14 x 10
Assembly guide (generic dimensions):
Let me know any questions.
do i need a double baffle? if so how much of an impact would it have if i just doubled it? will tuning go up or down?

any suggestions with what type of screws, how many and type of glue?
MDF screws, Titebond II wood glue.
If you cut the wood straight you can do with out screws and for glue tightbond 2
do i need caulk? if so, when do i apply that?

Thanks man!
aye i noticed you live in pittsburg, i live in Fairfield on Travis AFB. You build boxes? anyway you think that tuning frequency will be perfect for young jeezy, gorilla zoe type songs? i like those lows that give you migraines
-
Hey I just wrote a tutorial in the last 2 days that is for questions exactly like this.
If you check it out you should be able to get a starting idea.
Thanks!

i seen it but i dont know how to open torres on Mac

I have decided that i am going to build a box for my 2 RF Punch HX2 10's.
Is anyone here able to give me a design with all the cut measurements? I know its a lot to ask, but when i am filling out information in sub enclosure calculators, i have no idea if my port is too long or too short and whether i have enough cubic feet. My available space is H-11.5 W-36 D-20 in the trunk of a Toyota Camry.
Equipment: (2) RF punch hx2 10"
(1) Hifonics BRZ1200
I want a box tuned around 30-32hz. I listen to a lot of rap and a lot of decaf.
What do i need to glue and seal the box together?
Thaks!
-
yea i just might do it myself because i wanna save for a box. My current box is making my hx2's sound like shit! they sound so weak, yet when it dims my lights a good amount when turned up.
-
parts $40-80 depending cable size
install id say $100
thats a little more then i was expecting.
right now im stuck between getting a smd dd-1, big 3, or upgrading my shitty pre fab box that makes my hx2's sound like shit!
what would you guys get first?
-
how much should i pay for a shop to install the big 3?
I dont feel like doing it myself because i dont have faith in my abilities. I know its just replacing wires, but i really dont want to mess anything up.
-
yah man my prefab is tuned to something stupid like 46 hz for my 10.
so dumb
Fuck!! i dont know much about car audio, but i know that thats high!
I think i want a box tuned around 30hz
-
I have 2 HX2 10's in a pre fab proted box right now and i am disappointed in their abilities to hit low notes. I think my box might be tuned a little too high.
Does anyone have experience with these subs? and their abilities to hit the low notes?
I am aware that they are 10's and not 15", but i heard a pair of 10" kicker comps get lower then my HX2's.
Could getting a bigger box make a difference?
Thanks!
To reach any conclusions you must have the specs of the box or calculate it measuring everything, RF recommends 1 cubic feet @35Hz for a single sub setup so at least your box should be 2 cubic feet net (after displacements) and be tuned mid to lower 30s to reach the deeper bass notes.
So i have now come to the conclusion that its the box that i need to get rid off.
Anyone know any box builders in NorCal?
Or any credible builders i can order from online?
Does steve make boxes? i know he's busy with the lexus but does he have a shop or something? because i live 30 minutes from Sacramento.
-
Well you might waste some time and money but it will be worth it. Experience is a great thing to have. Later on you will want to upgrade and then you'll need another box built for you. This is my opinion and it might be different from others but I would seriously consider working on your woodworking/box-building skills.
I understand i should work on my woodwork skills but at this time i need something solid. A good box that will last me a long time and push my subs to its max potential.
the prefab is your problem man.i had 2 hx2 15's and they pounded out the lows,they actually got louder with lower bass..yea i get they wernt 10's but that dosent matter.its ALL in the box design.
Man thats exactly what i want, louder with the lower bass.
Anyone have any opinion on the amp im using? The hifonics brutus brz1200
-
yeah its a prefab.
this might be the exact box i have
Everyone tells me these subs are beast and that they compare to todays T1's, but it sound weak in my camry.
Im using a hifonic brutus 1200w to power both of them at 1ohm.
Im thinking of getting a box from "Dave the box guy" cause i have never built a subwoofer enclosure in my life, and im afraid ill just waist time and money. Unless someone knows somebody in Nor Cal that makes good boxes?
I listen to a lot of rap like young jeezy, gorilla zoe, and a whole bunch of decaf , so i like lows that give people migraines.

Leaving my amp in the trunk with no subs

I actually am serious!
I would rather ask all my questions here then act like i know what im doing and blow my amp, burn my car, or whatever the worst case scenario is.
