psx2p Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I have never designed and made my own box before so this was a shot in the dark, I used Torres calculator and what FEW tools I had around the house. This is the most unprofessional box I have seen in person.. It is built to spec but it is VERY rough around the edges at the moment (needs sanded). Tools used: Dremel with a multipurpose cutting tool (POS) Reciprocating saw Table saw Screw gun started to rain when I was almost done cutting and I was NOT stopping! lol Stock DC Image for whoever wants it (The flash particles need cleaned up in Pshop) minus flash 01 GMC Sonoma 4x4 RF T1500.1bd DC LVL 4 12" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psx2p Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Day 2 recycled the bolts from my previous box. Made 2 of these housings when I had my previous box built and never used them. My sidekick, all she requires is a chin scratch After all of this I hooked it up and much to my surprise it sounds like pure garbage.... I honestly dont know what I did wrong I cant really hear the sub but when I do hear it it sounds like its bottoming out... My amp is a RF T1500.1bd and the gain is turned to 3 and its set at 40hz.... ANY help is GREATLY appreciated. 01 GMC Sonoma 4x4 RF T1500.1bd DC LVL 4 12" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psx2p Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Updated the second post... Once again guys ANY help is GREATLY appreciated... EDIT: I think I fucked the port up... the actual port size is 11.5x4x4.5 which brings me to 82.66Hz.....god dammit! Next question is how do I calculate in a flared port? Id like to redo the front and go with 1 4" long aero port with a 3" diameter. Torres Calculator shows that would set me at 41.91Hz but I dont know if that factors in the flare.. im aiming for 40hz but 41.9 is a hell of allot better than 82 Hz....... 01 GMC Sonoma 4x4 RF T1500.1bd DC LVL 4 12" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EclipseChris Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 As for why is sounds horrible i'll try to make a list of things to do correctly next time around. 1. Port area, more! 2. Cutting the box, better! 3. That port is NOT 4"x4.5", what happened there? 4. Puppy, not given enough scratchin! i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
