Recommended Posts

Ok so im gonna mount it on left center as far from the port as possible. I just have a few more pieces to cut and then its glue and screw time

Everythings in the attic or garage since the truck was sold last year. New build should be coming soon in a dodge cummins smile.gif

On the port it says 16.5" down and 8" for the L thats only 24.5" of port it says i need 26" for 33hz how bad will this throw off the tuning? Should i just add the extra 1.5" between the 2?

Port length is found by going down the center of the port.

Whatever you do, don't build the box the guy posted, the port measurements are not right...you'll end up with a skinnier port after the 90° turn. Also, the sides are not going to be the same measurements the way he has the rest of the box laid out. This is why you need to properly use a 3d program like SketchUp to correctly lay everything out.

Actually, cutting the sides the same will just make the right one 3/4" lower than the baffle. The port is the main issue. Make the first piece 14.5"x14.5" and the second 5"x14.5". The box will have the baffle go on last and have it stick out 3/4" past the port. After sub and bracing displacement this will give you around 7.5ft^3 with a 33hz tuning.

Should i center the sub on the face or does it make a difference

You typically want it as far away from the internal port opening as possible.

I agree.!!

Ram is correct. sorry i do apologize for the mistake, thats what i get for trying to do a fast design in my head. It is free help i give and i should not be giving out wrong answers. I usually charge for a very detail design. i did this in my head with a calculator. sorry for my mistake.

so ram you seem to be on top of the enclosure section. I got a big issue, well not realy issue just need some advice on the port, thats all. in a custom box i am building, its a freestyle box build inside of the car. ill pm you it thats ok
