SojiaRaggs9000 Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Ok well I have two 12" 06 S12l7 (2006 gray Solo Baric L7 versions) and Ill soon be updating they to the newer 07 or 08 black versions. Any way, In your honest opinions what Is the best type of box? Sealed or Ported? Single chamber or Dual chamber? Imo I prefer the ported, seems to have deeper tones than a sealed... ofcourse I listen to mostly chopped n screwed stuff but rap is what I listen to. I've built a box before outta 1" MDF but it was WAY to heavy so I ended up tossing it lol. So I kinda know what I'm getting my self into anyway...... The box will be in my trunk. How should I have them firing? Straight up, towards the cab, towards the taillights, or angled up facing the taillights??my current box measures L: 33” W: 20.5” H: 12” TO give you an idea oh how much space I haver here is some pic of my trunk. Id really like to hear your honest opinions on what type of box will maximize my subs performance. -Kurk Quote * Eclipse CD3200 with PAC SWI-CAN2 and SW-ECL2 Steering Wheel Controls Interface* Pioneer D-Series Mids and Highs ( Fronts: TS-D1702C; Rears; TS-D1702R and Dash; TS-D1002R )* Rockford Fosgate PBR300X4 ( Mids and Highs Amp )* DC 3.5k with Dual Inputs; Custom Plexiglass Backing ( Sub Amp )* Rockford Fosgate Balanced Line Driver * One FULLY LOADED ~ 10" DC m2 XL* Custom Built Carpeted Ported Box Tuned to 32hz.

andym85 Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 if you can fit it, then i would suggest firing the subs and port into the cabin, sealed off from the trunk area...that is, if your back seat folds down...id it doesnt then your current positioning should work. i would do a single chamber box, ported....i can work on some figures for you tomorrow sometime....right now though, im drinkin, so im kinda busy...lol...

Sinosic Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 t-line for both subs will not fit into your trunk. those box demensions will sound good. i would 45 the bend in the port and the corner straight accross from the port. double up the baffle and add internal bracing if you think the box may flex at all.

Here is a few specs I came across I hope I have found the right specs ect lol... Sd 0.0645 sq m (11.19 = 11.19/2 = 5.595 x 5.595 3.14 = 98.295in.^2 = 0.0645 sq meters) Fs: 31.7 Qms: 10.857 Qes: 0.709 Qts: 0.666 So ...... 1130 / 31 = 36.45 = 1 26.90 / 4 = 9.11 = 1/4 If I did my math right I think I can actually make a t-line if I understand right. In the following pic I did L=33.5in x W=38.5in. Port W=7.45in with a port length of 10.51ft. Now I know Its not correct measurement wise but... wouldn't something close to this work of a t-line if I can get the measurements straight???
