BJD3 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Still need bracing. I will add that after the whole port problem... Depending upon how you brace it, you may still have a port problem... How's that? If you end up using something that takes up a respectable amount of room (like 2x4s) you lose airspace, and raise your tuning. Which will require more port length to bring it back down. If you're bracing using dowels, the effect won't be as drastic, but again, depending upon how you brace it, there may be other issues. Like there not being enough space to run your dowels (which is actually what I'm concerned with). Quote Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.

BJD3 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 The height of your box is 18 inches...and you have three 6 inch aeros. That dog won't hunt.

Shigshwa Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) 2 12's is more motor force and only a little less cone area...i'd do that. or just don't do a wedge box...they complicate everything. Hmm, let's rework this then. I agree, shouldn't be building a wedge box for my first box. Edited July 5, 2011 by Shigshwa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18abVFL Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 i cant imagine a wedge enclosure for a FI btl. Im pretty sure the motor will be hitting the bottom of the box...

18abVFL Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 do sub up port back.

Shigshwa Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 do sub up port back. Yeah, that would work. I'm trying to balance performance and aesthetics together, but my car isn't working with me, so I guess sub up is the only option for a square box.

94retta(219) Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Doing a 18 in a wedge and doing it right in a trunck is alot of work. Trust me. Go with a 15 Quote BUILD LOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go with a 15 I know what you mean, but the sheer size of an 18 is total shock and awe, you know? Also (Might have to shave it to 17, give the driver some room to flex.)

Shigshwa Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I think that design will work, right? What do you guys recommend for bracing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
727Designs Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 1.2" Dowels for bracing. You need to realize that bracing will take up space in the box therefore raising your tuning. I'd run a double baffle setup, with some 1.2" dowels from top to bottom and front to back. Also, any reason you are set on an aero port? 2 7" aeros wouldn't personally be my setup of choice.
