bass_stalker Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 how do you go about building a box for an inverted sub? im considering buying an aq hd3 18 but i dont think i could fit the 6 cube box below the window line and keep my back seat. so if i invert it would a smaller box work?

deeje Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Just subtract the woofer displacement from the overall size so typically you save like .2 cubes.

bassrace Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 If you're limited on space maybe try aero ports maybe even external if you can make it work.

bass_stalker Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Just subtract the woofer displacement from the overall size so typically you save like .2 cubes. so what would happen if i would put it in the minimum size enclosure? just less output/ volume/ less efficiency. im pretty sure i only can make like a 4-5 cube box Quote JEEP BUILD PROJECT ANTIBLING.2000 jeep Cherokee.HEADUNITAlpine Cda-9886SUBSTAGE1 acendent 18" audio mayhem motor with a TI basket and tantric parts1 prototype DAT hellfire 1000.1HIGHSStockELECTRICALdb link 0 gaugeKnuconceptz Kolossus 4 gauge1 xs power d3400 under hoodBig 3 upgradeold fourwheeler build The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

Ricky A. Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) i think inverting the subs and then two external port stacks on either side of the sub would look badass. and ude save a good bit of space.

bass_stalker Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 5.4 cubes before bracing and displacement. probably would look pretty cooli know it'd add a ton of weight too Quote JEEP BUILD PROJECT ANTIBLING.2000 jeep Cherokee.HEADUNITAlpine Cda-9886SUBSTAGE1 acendent 18" audio mayhem motor with a TI basket and tantric parts1 prototype DAT hellfire 1000.1HIGHSStockELECTRICALdb link 0 gaugeKnuconceptz Kolossus 4 gauge1 xs power d3400 under hoodBig 3 upgradeold fourwheeler build The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

Ricky A. Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 ide probably subtract .2 for bracing unless ur going hard. and if u use allthread for bracing it'de be considerably less than that and if ur doing external ports and inverted sub you don't have any other displacement.

RooTxBeeR Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 When you build the box, dont include any type of sub displacement, and that's how big your box will be.
