stipek Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Helping a buddy with some box ideas. He has always been a SQ guy and now just wants it louder...so ported. He has 2 JL 12W3 single 4 ohm running on a JL 500.1 in a Jaguar xtype. The res. freq. is unknown. This will be a daily driver box. Wondering if JL recommended spec box is actually the best box to build. They suggest 1.75 cu. ft. per sub tuned to 30 and gives a F3 of 35. Here is the t/s Here is a couple of torres plans I came up with for slotted port tuned to 35. This would be subs/port back and I would just mirror it for the other sub so they would be in separate chambers. Haven't seen hardly anybody on here with JL's if anybody has any experience with them. Any adjustments or other suggstions would be appreciated. Tuning, sub/port configuration, aero ports, ect. Thanks.

stipek Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Posted September 26, 2011 Also don't know the max. dimensions at this time but think the max height might be only 14 so I would have to make adjustments for that as well. Looking for a confirmation on net space and what port area.

MrSkippyJ Posted September 27, 2011 Report Posted September 27, 2011 13 sq in of port total? Quote F150: Stock 2019 Harley Road Glide: Amp: TM400Xad - 4 channel 400 watt Processor: DSR1 Fairing (Front) 6.5s -MMats PA601cx Lid (Rear) 6x9s - TMS69
stipek Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Posted September 27, 2011 No, per cu ft which is in the standard 12-16 sq in per cu ft range but some same more is better so should I shoot for 15 or 16. JL's slot area on their spec box is 17.1875 sq in.

He has always had sealed. Nice box though. Going in a trunk so I think subs/port back will be ideal. What are the dimensions and port area?
