hawkei67 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Hi all, I am a newbie when it comes to building sub box's and was wanting some input as to if I am getting the proper results for some designs I have been attempting in BassBox Pro 6.0.22. I love listening to Gucci-Mane, Plies, Decafs Collection and Bass Cube. I currently have 2 Radio Shack 8" CSW-800 subs in a prefabbed box which came new with roadmaster 8's and 2 of those long rectangular tweeters which I removed and sealed up the holes where they were at and replaced the roadmaster subs with the CSW-800 subs from Radio Shack. I am running a pioneer old school 220 watt amp to kick them with a factory Ford Taurus radio and I get lots of compliments on the sound and the hit that it produces. A lot of black folks can't believe that all that bass is comming from 2 radio shack 8's and a cheap old amp like that. I am wanting to attempt building a box myself for a Polk Audio DB104 10" - 4ohm sub and I am leaning more towards vibration and bass sound (SPL I guess). I have been told to just tune the box (which ever design I choose) to 33hz and be done with it but I still have some questions and would like some opinions on a design I think looks good but I am not sure if I am reading the graphs correct. I have chosen a vented box for this Polk Audio DB104 10" sub using 1 vent at 2.5 inch's in diameter with a length of 10.71 inch's and a box volume of 2.116cf using 3/4" thick material with an Fb of 22.63hz and the results are a maximum of 10.5dB at 21.36hz. Here is the specs: Type: Vented Box Shape: Cube Vb = 2.116 cu.ft Fb = 22.63 Hz QL = 6.999 F3 = 9.82 Hz Fill = none No. of Vents = 1 Vent shape = round Vent ends = one flush Dv = 2.5 in Lv = 10.71 in Here is the TS/Parameters for the sub: Name: db10 (4 ohm) Type: Standard one-way driver Company: Polk Audio Comment: DB Series No. of Drivers = 1 Fs = 26.7 Hz Qms = 4.91 Vas = 44.9 liters Cms = 0.24 mm/N Mms = 148 g Rms = 5.058 kg/s Xmax = 8.7 mm Xmech = 25.4 mm P-Dia = 215 mm Sd = 363 sq.cm P-Vd = 0.316 liters Qes = 0.409 Re = 3.7 ohms Z = 4 ohms BL = 15 Tm Pe = 300 watts Qts = 0.376 no = 0.201 % 1-W SPL = 85 dB 2.83-V SPL = 88.54 dB Would someone please run that thru BassBox Pro or whatever box design program you have and tell me if it would be worth building according to my likes in music which I mentioned earlier, I will be using the same amplifier to drive it as mentioned earlier but also removing the 8's that I have in the car already, BTW, I have enabled the 12dB Octave Rise set at 50hz in the "Car" tab of BassBox Pro. Question: Am I doing this right, am I understanding the results correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxim Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 A lot of black folks?............. .............????? Not gonna lie. I only skimmed the OP's post, then read your comment, then had to re-read OP's post to see what you were referencing. Too funny! Quote wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 .

412 CVX Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 radio shack sells subs? try using torres (sp?)box tuning calculator i'd link it but i'm lazy right now, but just search it and you'll find it. i've also used subwoofertools.net before. they seem pretty legit Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.
