TIG Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I know there are a lot of questions about boxes on this site, and Im gonna add yet another one because quite frankly I don't know shit about ported boxes. I can build anything, I can run all the necessary wire and hook it all up correctly but as for the math part I don't get it so this is my question. I have 2 kicker cvr 15's that I want to put in a ported box. My measurements for my trunk are 36" wide 163/4 tall and 18" deep. Can I build a ported box with these specs and the subs actually sound good? I hate sealed but I would like to have a little trunk space. I was told that ported boxes have to be twice the size of a sealed box so I really dont know. Quote Since were all having a moment of truth. I hate country too.. I'd only listen to it if I got some hotass bitch in my car and shes gonna suck my dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitacy Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 With those measurements unless you got a big trunk opening you won't be able to fit it in there more then likely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIG Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Well idk then. I really like the sound of my 15's and really would like to use what I have and not have to buy new subs. I would do some 12's but I really don't know what would be good. I was hitting 140 in my lhs on 1200 watts rms with the 15's and was looking for around 145 but idk what rout to take to get there. I know a lot of people say the build is 75% of the ending result. Quote Since were all having a moment of truth. I hate country too..

P4killer_ Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Your gonna have to stay sealed if you want space. Or do 1 15 ported. Depending on how much power your running you could still prolly do a 140 off 1 15.

chevyhoe08 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I am a designer/box builder of socal area. did some calculating and that ends each sub at around 1.8cu.ft after all displacement. And this is directly from kicker website (Min Rec Vented Box Volume (CU. Ft., Liters)** 3, 85) so i am going to say that its not going to work, not a good idea.

TIG Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Ok so a ported 15" box is not going to work. I know if I run my 15's in a sealed box I will see around 140 but I want to go a little louder than that. Is there a way to build a ported 12" box with my specs to do the a 145db on 1600rms? I know someone will ask what subs I will be using and I dont really have an answer for that because up until today I planned on just running my 15's. Quote Since were all having a moment of truth.
