89capricebass Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) I'm not sure if this will work so opinions are welcome. I have a 15" Fi ssd which will be powered by a kenwood 9104d. This will go in a 95 grand prix. The seats dont fold down but the arm rest does an I want to port through the arm rest. Here is a pic of the trunk where you can see the arm rest hole. ( Yes the wiring and amp have been cleaned up.) Here is a screen shot of torres calculator And here are a couple pics of the box in sketch up Do you guys think this will work? Is the sub going to be to close to the port? I was also thinking of doing a 4th order box ported through the arm rest hole. Would this work? Would I see any more output than the first box?

dthomas Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm not sure how well that would work since you are separating the output from the Subwoofer and the port. I would think a 4th order bandpass would work better for that. But I'm not positive, so maybe someone else will chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumonskateboard6 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Won't work well, I've tried the same thing but through the rear deck instead of the arm rest. I'd say your best option would be a 4th order, a member here named Boon did a good setup in a BMW ported through the arm rest Quote Current Systems: 2011 BMW 335i Hertz HDP1 DC LVL3 12" Full Carbon Fiber 2002 Acura TlKenwood DNX9980HD2 DCLVL4 12" Subs with LVL5 Parts D.7 CoilsDC 3.5kHertz HSK-165 up front HCX-165 RearHertz HDP4 AmpDC Power Engineering 260 Amp AltBig 3 and amp powered with KNU 1/0XS Power D2400 Up Front i pulled out my dick in class many of times and had it shown. get over it bitch...stupid open legged hairy beavered bitch... going over rms = smaller box, under rms = bigger box... Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth. A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iKidwell Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Jeff and Dustin did a box like this in a cts i think..I'm pretty sure I saw a build log..but they did a 4th order and it looked like it got loud as fuck..I'd talk to one of them about it Quote c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old. i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer. 2003 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan Build in Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is talking about the issue I had, the air from the port was entering the car before the air movement from th cone, and thus not loud.

I'm confused... would the sub being to close to the port cause this?
