how do i change a boxs tuning without building a new box?


Recommended Posts

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

Have you considered paying someone like Ray or RAM to design you a box?

Paying for a design is still cheaper than buying wood only to tear it all down to rebuild it. lol

You may be offended by the above. Don't take it personally, I'm just abrasive.

If the subs are meant to be in a sealed box and not ported i would just go with that. It probably won't make much of a difference going with a ported box and just add to the frustration.

I would make a nice sealed box (or modify the existing one to be sealed), sell them along with the box and get different subs. The kind that love ported boxes tuned at or below 35 hz.

the subs love ported boxs, just bigger ones than what i got now, i had em in a 2cf ported box tuned to 36htz and it shook my dash in my truck like my 15's did

there more of a sql type sut, with a freq responce of 25-15khtz it works pritty good for any kind of music

im thinking about building this, all of mtx's boxs are pritty much alike so it should sound good, these 2 10's in the mtx 5500 15 box wanged like hell

what is this box tuned to? from what i can make from it it said it was in the 40ish htz range

this the box i had the 10's in http://files.mitekusa.com/pmsys/F0909151620564379b0.pdf , sounded killer on everything, i just need something close to it but less in depth, can go more in height if need to

well put in the old box, works a shit ton better than what i had

its around 3cf befor displacement, 2.47ft^3 tuned to 33.94htz with 11.74sq^2 of port 22'' port

box is 16''H, 24''W,17 3/8''D, port is 14.5'' tall, 2'' wide, first part is 13 1/8'' long, then 8 5/8'' long so around 22'' of port

sounds a hell of alot better than old shit box, and shakes everything in my truck, i'll make a video of it later, i just wonder why its a hell of alot louder inside the truck than outside?

by the way, ive got this box setup as a downfire box rather than upfire, sounds better :yahoo:
