STEvil Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 how does he have them in there right now? If they're facing forward then turn them around so they face backwards.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

blownengine Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 In 4th order the tuning of the box is not isn't really chosen by the builder it's mostly chosen mathematically. Determine what frequency you want to be your "roll-off" where the subs will stop responding well. Use this calculator and enter driver parameters: http://www.colomar.com/Shavano/4thorder_info.html I have messed around with the numbers and it always gives me sealed and ported box sizes that are very close to each other in size. What happened to the 2:1 or 3:1 ratio? Any help here?

dwright27 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I'd do 1 - 1.25 sealed per, and 2 - 3 cubes ported. If you want it to Play low, tune around 44 - 45 hz. With 13 - 14 square inches of port per cube. Quote 2006 F-150 4 DC XL M2 18's Walled Daily Driver XS Power 4 DC 3.5kw Team DC Team S.P.L.

dwright27 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 The smaller 2:1 ratio wont be as peaky as the bigger ratios and the 2:1 ratio will load pretty hard coming into the car from the c-pillar Quote 2006 F-150 4 DC XL M2 18's Walled Daily Driver XS Power 4 DC 3.5kw Team DC Team S.P.L.

With 13 - 14 square inches of port per cube. Ok thats close to my original plans. I'm confusing myself now. Do the two subs share the 1.25 cubic feet sealed and share the 3 cubic feet ported? Or do they share the ported and each get their own induvidual 1.25 sealed? Did that make sense?

dwright27 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I'd probably do closer to 1 cube sealed EACH. I said, 1 - 1.25 sealed PER ( which is each ) so that's a total of 2 - 2.5 cubes sealed for the pair, and 4 - 6 cubes ported total.
