Arsaces Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hey guys, I am currently building a sub enclosure (my first) and I am just about to sand the pieces and seal up the box. Before I do that I would like to get some input on the tuning frequency that I have chosen for my box because I would rather not have to tear it apart later because it sounds bad. The link below is to the Thiele-Small data sheet for my woofer (p3d210). The box I designed will have an interior volume of 1.4 cu. ft. and as of right now it will be tuned to 40.5 Hz (both are manufacturer recommended), I do not know enough about the data sheet numbers to determine if the woofer will perform better with a higher or lower tuning frequency, I listen to every kind of music there is so the box would need to be "multi-purpose". Any input would be greatly appreciated, I am very excited to get this box finished up and see all my work pay off http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/library/2007/5_Subwoofers/P3D210_revA-TS.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsaces Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I forgot to mention that I will be running the sub off of a sony xplod amp pushing 500RMS, from what I have been reading putting that extra 100rms should be ok for the woofer as long as I don't clip it. If that is incorrect please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubpower Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 build the box with inter change able ports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsaces Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 If I had thought of this issue before creating my baffles I would probably go with a circular port that I can take out and put in as I choose, but I am pretty much locked into my current baffle design, I don't have enough mdf to cutout 2 more baffles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubpower Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 you could have done the rectangular version and made different sizes as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsaces Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 you could have done the rectangular version and made different sizes as well Part of my problem is with my current design 1 of the walls of the port is shared with the box, so if I were to try to make that interchangeable the port wouldn't really be sealed right imo, if i were to move the port over far enough to eliminate that problem then I am looking at a gaping hole in the baffle >< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is incorrect please let me know. You probably aren't seeing anywhere near 500 rms after all is said and done. What model is it.
