alehound Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) I tried to search, but perhaps its not working right now, so my apologies as this may have already been covered. Is there a difference in overall performance if 2 subs are in sepearate ported boxes, as opposed to a single larger enclosure? Edited because I noobed out there. heh.

A single, properly designed enclosure has the potential to be louder Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehound Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I started this thread because I had a new idea for the back of my vibe, and while my understanding of enclosures is decent, I have much to learn yet. Anyway, sometimes I have to haul bigger stuff around for my job, so I am constantly having to fold the seats down. This also involves having to move around my box that houses 2 rockford 8" subs. (Thats right, I roll hard with the 8's... single voice coil even. My budget for car audio is tiny.) I figured I might could build something where both speakers are on the outside, leaving the middle area to haul stuff with the seat down. So first I built a quick prototype so I could hear how the actual box will sound. Its at .6 cubes tuned to about 37Hz. I think it sounds great, but wonder what others think about folding the "L" port into an "S" shape to get the length needed for tuning. Am I losing efficiency with this type of design? I figure Im close to about halfway done, and I will probably post more pics when I finish up. Input on the design good or bad appreciated. Thanks for looking.
