LoudBurp Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) I am doing a build for one of my buddys. We are going to deciding between 2 Sundown SA-12's or 2 AQ SD2.5-12's. They will be powered by a Sundown 1500D @ 1 Ohm. This is the box I came up with and was wondering if you guys had any advise on improving it. The top baffle will actually be cut to fit the sides of the trunk but I figured I would put it on there. The port is 15"s long and the reason why it sticks out like that is to meet up with a hole that is behind the backseat armrest, as you will see in the photos below. Also, when I do build it the port will be rounded off on the sides and where it goes between the seats will have a flare and be molded into the back seat. Here are the pictures of the car... If you want to make improvements, I uploaded the Sketchup file here... http://www.mediafire.com/?b0q8qnexp6mshh3 Thanks for looking and look forward to hearing from you all Edited August 12, 2011 by LoudBurp Quote Best of Luck and Cheers!

new guy Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) more port area id say around 12 per cube Edited August 12, 2011 by new guy Quote *current* 1991 honda crx si 2 skar audio 12s pioneer 6.5s dual 400 watt amp audio technix db 1/0 wiring kit. dual head unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudBurp Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) more port area id say around 12 per cube Thats the problem, for the port to come in between the seats like that, that is the biggest port I can run. The hole is almost exactly 8x7 which leaves the inside dimensions at 6.5x5.5. That roughly 8"^2 per cube. I normally run around 12 per, but this one is giving me issues. So, do you think I should shrink the box a little? Edited August 12, 2011 by LoudBurp Quote Best of Luck and Cheers!

BJD3 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Why not use aeroports and port through the rear deck? Quote Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.

Supercharged DCs Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 A 6" aeroport or 3 4" aeros may work well and allow you to port where you want. Just a thought...

LoudBurp Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Why not use aeroports and port through the rear deck? I was thinking of aeros, but I don't know how long they would have to be. A 6" aeroport or 3 4" aeros may work well and allow you to port where you want. Just a thought... I think the 6" would have to be sticking in the box like the port I have drawn up, and I have no idea how I would make that work. Although 2 4" might work. Let me play around with it and I will see what I can do. Thanks for the feedback! Quote Best of Luck and Cheers!

LoudBurp Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) So I was a retard when I posted the last box pics. I forgot that I resized the port for tuning. I resized it to the max allowable size and the port is now 22 inchs long. The only problem I can foresee is that the back of the port is 2.25" away from the back of the baffle. Do you think this could be a problem? Here is the Torres and SketchUps. Let me know what you think. The SketchUp file is here... http://www.mediafire.com/?m08njqm13j143b5 Edited August 12, 2011 by LoudBurp Quote Best of Luck and Cheers!

LoudBurp Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 ..... port through the rear deck? So I measured it out through the rear deck and I could make the port 9x9 which is 7.5x7.5 and it would have to be like 22-26 inchs long which means I would have to put a bend in it. So, I am stuck. Should I do it like I have in the pics I posted on my last post(where the port is 2.25" away from the baffle)? Or should I run it through the rear deck by take out the factory sub? Any opinions? (I work all weekend, so I won't be able to post a SketchUp of what the rear deck port would look like till Monday....sorry) Quote Best of Luck and Cheers!

Supercharged DCs Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I would not suggest building the enclosure with the port only 2.25" from the back wall. I'd try to keep it 5.5" away. I can't comment on the rear deck as I've never messed with one. Quote Bassless once again.
