Need help with SA-8 box


Recommended Posts

Ok so i started building my box for under the backseat of an extended cab chevy. Its a slight wedge due to the seat small decline. So my measurements(external) are 8" at the shallowest to 9" at the deepest. 19 1/2" wide and 12 1/2" from bottom to to top. Im gonna try 3" pvc port, how long of a port am i gonna need for close to 33hz tunning? Im gonna run a kicker zx1000.1 @ 2ohm obviously turned wayyy down.

Everythings in the attic or garage since the truck was sold last year. New build should be coming soon in a dodge cummins smile.gif

If the measurements are external, what thickness of wood are you using? (more than likely 3/4, but just clarifying...)

There is a point of diminishing returns on the amount of equipment installed, kinda like throwing money out a window.

with the info you provided, I came out with 37.5" long on a single 3" port. That was using Torres, I can rerun it in BassBox if you want me to but it might be a while, seeing as I have a bunch of stuff to do today.

no it doesnt work that way, you raise the tuning by adding more port area, so the ports would actually get longer............ I can play with the box a little

how many SA-8's are you gonna run?

wait scratch that length I told you before I was putting in the wrong numbers in Torres, sry long day.... actual port length is 23.5. I was using internal dimensions on the depth and external for width and height.

So, 23.5" on a 3" port is 33 Hz

Damn, even 23.5" is a lil long. Its only 1 sa-8, this is being done for a friend. I can always have a couple inches sticking outside the box. I was tryin to avoid that but im more worried about proper tuning than apperance since it wont be easily seen anyhow.
