REaudioBuff Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Ok so I'm having trouble figuring out a box for my DC xl 15'' Its D2 ohm which will be ran @ 1ohm to an Addictive Audio 500.1... Obviously the gains will be set lower so I will not be tapping into the full power of that amp. I will clam it around 3.5k I assume. I need to get a box thats around 3.5cubes and has something like 60sq'' of port area. I want it tuned @ 32hz after displacement which will be 45 degree angles in all corners and the sub of course. I am going to use a double baffle for the sub and because the box is fairly small not sure if I'll brace yet. I want it to slam the lows and have a pretty good range where it sounds good. What I have been told is to do something around 60'' of port area for a 3.5cube box for the xl. If someone can help me out here I would greatly appreciate it. The max dimensions are 36Lx17Hx20W Its going in a scion tc..

AI James Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Good luck unless your putting seat down getting much out of the back of a tc Quote
REaudioBuff Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Posted February 23, 2011 I had my seats out and had a 9.3cube box in there before but the weight was killing my TC lol. With the seats up I can still fit something around 4cubes in there after displacement. But I don't need it that big by what I've been told so far. Also have been told to maybe try areoports which I'm up for but have nobody around here to help... I have never attempted areos before either.

REaudioBuff Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Posted February 28, 2011 Well if anyone here can help out it is still needed. The sub should be here tuesday I get the amp tomorrow. I actually am going to need 17.5^sq per cube for my port. So if someone can figure out a box after displacement of the woofer that ends up around 3-3.5cubes tuned @ 32hz or lower with that kinda port area I would thankfully love to use it.

mbdblue Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 just a little advice....I wouldnt put 3.5k on that sub hittin lows for extended periods of time. I had mine on a stetsom 2k6d wired to 1 ohm and it didnt like full tilt for more than 5-10 minutes. box was 3.2-3.3 cubes at 34 hz Quote AA-Atomic-Clif Designs-DC-Diamond-Digital Designs-Directed-Eclipse-Fi-Hertz-Hifonics-Kenwood-Memphis-Phoenix Gold-Pioneer-PPI-PSi-Stinger-Sundown-TC Sounds-Viper-Zapco
REaudioBuff Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Posted February 28, 2011 Yea i didnt know i was going to get this big of an amp. But I will prolly upgrade to a lvl 5 someone in the near future. But as far as this sub i will clamp the amp between 3-3.5k. But I do not know what kinda dimensions to do the box at. Thats something I haven't had too much experience with. And 5-10 min of solid lows is fine with me lol.

I had mine on a stetsom 2k6d wired to 1 ohm and it didnt like full tilt for more than 5-10 minutes. box was 3.2-3.3 cubes at 34 hz my opinion is because of that dirty ass power. 3 cubes should be fine with that power. especially if you arent using your gain as a volume know.
