Truck Wedge Boxes Suck!


Recommended Posts

So, I was approached by a customer, now friend with a box proposal for a behind seat/bench wedge box build install. Ididng want to do sealed, and ported, hmmm well would need, or want to do a larger box that 40"w x22" t 4"w top 10" w bottom... Welp, Quarter wave time....

I designed on paper a 38hz tline, simple 1 bend u-turn

Only problem is, that this would have to taper to a smaller port opening- Iam not to used to doing it this way, but i said fuk it.... instead of tapering, wheat I did was on the second turn/line, I stuffed it will poly fill losely, the first side, with the sub in it, I did about half the polyfill, I assumed this would even out the difference in port area and the rest of the line.....

I didnt get day 1 of the build, but I did get the finishing pics....

I tested this sub in my house on my HK 35w/rms p channel reciever.... No shit, I had the furthest window in my house flexing hard, and you were able to walk away from my house quit some distance, and you could assume there was a car in a driveway somewhere cranking up the beat.....

Yeah Sony subwoofer, and a Wedge truck box, they suck, but not this one......

With the poly fill, it sounds like the tuning dropped to about 30hz, based on the test songs I was running.....

I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
