DudeWith4x4 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Hello all, I am thinking about building a new box for my L7 12s. I have the factory kicker box right now but I am thinkin I want somethin more flashy. I would like to build a box with one port like the one below but I do not know how to figure the airspace and how to tune it for two subs instead of one? I dont know if I am explaining this very well but any help would be appreciated. Also what should I tune my port to? 30-35 hz? Thanks.

Louisiana Bass Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Design it the same way as designing one for a single sub, and just account for twice displacement. Use the Torres box calculator. Some people on here will have actual input though, I've never ran kicker. Quote N8. No homo...unless you want there to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

727Designs Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 If we knew your dimensions it would help. Here's one idea, I know you have a truck so I went by what I could fit in my backseat 20h x 50w x 16d Port: 16.5h x 4.5w x 26l (L port so figure end correction when you build) That's figuring for 1 extra baffle and bracing. Be around 5.3 net 34hz w/ 15.66 in^2 port per cube.

DudeWith4x4 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Thanks man. I made this quick sketchup of I want to do. If you would run some numbers and double check it for me if you wouldnt mind? Its alittle over the top so dont judge me Edited June 24, 2011 by DudeWith4x4 Quote -Ross Project Layla Truck: 99' F-150 Gathering things for my next build.

727Designs Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Looks fine to me, I'm assuming thats plexy on this side panel? You'll need to accommodate for it on the plans. A friend of mine did something similar but cut out the MDF on the side wall, made the front wall longer did MDF|Plexy|MDF so the internal volume was the same, but had the look he was wanting. So essentially if you where using .75" plexy and MDF cut your front piece 1.5" longer to cover both pieces and you'd never notice it.

DudeWith4x4 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yeah I accounted for it when I was running the numbers. So this port will act like a port to both subs and wont over exert the sub closer to the port opening will it? did you freind put LEDS inside his box by chance?

727Designs Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Should work fine, and yeah he had LED strips, one at each corner inside.

DudeWith4x4 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Did it look pretty awesome? Would painting the inside be the best?
