Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 i would just get the recommended specs, and use torres calc to build up the box with what you have to work with man... lets say each sub requires .75 cubic feet, then you would want 1.5 after displacement, so the box should be built to around 2 cubes before port, and should be around 1.5 after port, but the calc will tell you that the generalization of port area is generally between 13-17 sq inch of port per cube.. you have 64 per cube LOL i dunno if i should have said this earlyer but these are sq subs and are recomended to be ran in a 1cf sealed box for each woofer, not to be ran in a ported box, they can get loud in a ported box but need a big one the box i had them in befor was 2cf give or take tuned to around 36-38htz could i still run this box sealed or does the port displace to much room and only make box 1.4-1.5cf? but ya soundstream recomends u run them in a sealed box, might have to just run em sealed, can i get a 2cf common chamber box out of 24'' wide, 12'' tall, 11'' deep? torres calc says 1.3 cubes is what those dimensions give you Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

tacomabanga1986 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 so pritty much box is good for 1 sub, would just running 1 sub help with port tuning or no? lol this box is full of fail i wonder if 800rms would be to much for a 500rms woofer sealed? i wonder if i could get louder with 2 8's, i had 2 of my old 8's on 1000rms and they sounded pritty good, didn't do much for lows but the 38-40+ range was sweet i could wire em to 1ohm and keep the gain down, would port be better on bottom or drivers side? there in there own home subwoofer boxs i might just do that, these 10's dont do me for shit, i think the old box i built for my 8's was around 2cf common chamber, i might be able to fit 2 10's in it Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacomabanga1986 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 so is it really THAT hard to make a new box?? it is when i got about 8 different boxs laying around, everytime i have to build a box its within 1hr max to cut and assemble, i think the box i got now took 20min to cut, put together and what knot im by no means impationent but when wife hates stereos and i have like 4hrs to take out seats, rewire, build a box, install, tune and what knot, shit dont get done to right i think the box in my sig took 2days start to finish, built 1 day, done all the wireing, next day install and wire everything and tune i might just try and do something saterday, the cost in wood to build this box was $40 i think, its wood we had but still dad said it costs to much for a fukin speaker box lol i do with what i can when i can, i like to take my time and do something nice but dont have time, i might just take out the box, run mids n highs or something and design a new box when i can get my new box done im gunna over it with camo felt and leave it would adding height to the box help in any way? i might can get 26-28'' out of it width wise, my depth is stuck to around 10-12'' deep hell i should just build a small sealed box for 1 of my 15's and be done with it Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacomabanga1986 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 i dont need anyone to build anything for me, i got access to a panel saw, have a multitude of routers and router bits, i have a circle jig but its weird to use, i got 3 or 5 table saws i think, just look in the tools section of our work shop i have the knowledge on how to build things, but i cant make much sense of the feedback i get from that box calc ive never been good at ported boxs, and they've needed to be bigger than the space i have available i want small but good sound, im not looking for spl just good sq, im thinking a good sealed box will work for me im more of a, u print it or make me a picture with dementions and i can duplicate anything within reason, just somethings take longer for me to pick up im not on steves nuts, i just come here to learn more about different things and fill in some blanks i have about certain things Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
