D-train-13k Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) download the Torres box calculator. it should be pinned in the subwoofer/enclosures section. play with the numbers to get your desired volume then play with the ports to get the tuning at about 35 Hz. i would suggest subs back and ports back since this is your first box build that will give you an idea of where to start good luck! Edit: it says a min of 1.75ft^3 but i would do about 1.5 per sub. this has always seemed to be a happy median for 12's (for what ive encountered at least) Edited April 20, 2011 by D-train-13k Quote The IrishmanCheck out my build hereXL 4th order wall build logIn Progress:alpine cda HU4th order Bandpass2xl 15's1- ab 400.1 (gonna be two hopefully)4- Crescendo 8's2- xts crecendo supertweeters 2 sq super tweetsMb quart 4.125Mechman 270a alt1- xs D27003- xs XP3000 4- odessey pc1700seller feed back threadhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/136418-d-train-13k/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blownengine Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Starting point for a box? Wood?........Haha just messin' He mean have both the port face towards the trunk lid. Thats normal. If you go with a ported box shoot for around 30-35 hertz.
