Louisiana Bass Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hello all. Finally got my subs ordered, should get em in a month or so. Anywho, I need to design an enclosure for them. Truck: 2000 Dodge Dakota club cab Max dimensions: 59W x 20 D x 29 H Needs box for the pair. I've never ran 18s before, so idk how it should be tuned and what not. Also, i've been wanting to try aeroports, but idk how to calculate those. Thanks all oh, and will be run off of small power for little while, but in the end, plan to be puttin around 8kw to the pair.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 subs and port facing up? or forward? or what? in the torres calculator, i put the dimensions you gave and put 29h 7w and 24l for the port, and came out to 35hz at 15.69 sq inch of port per cube, at 203 sq inch of port total, and at almost 13 cubes after displacement.. might want to shrink the box a cube though Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

Louisiana Bass Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Subs up port up. And I think that 13 cubes would be good since I'm running low power for a while, should be more effecient right? Quote N8. No homo...unless you want there to be.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 LOL its already taken up the seating space.. now you just have airspace that can be taken up not hard to drive with a wall, just gotta be smarter than the rest of the drivers, which isnt hard Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

Louisiana Bass Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 The thing is though, about the wall, I need my rearview. Or basically, my dad needs it. I'm only 17, I didn't buy the truck. My dad did, and gave it to me and my brother (supercharged dcs). We talked to him about a wall and he straight up said no. For the tuning, I was thinking around 33 hz, and I'll try to make an interchangable port tunes higher for meter. Quote N8. No homo...unless you want there to be.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 if you are tossing 8k or so to it, you would be fine with it at 35hz LOL and if you are going for GP status, you prob wont ever really need to change the tuning, 35hz can hit down to 24s and up to mid 40s with authority.. atleast every box ive had at 35 has... but you wont really notice the difference between 33 and 35 Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......
