412 CVX Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Imo, i'd sell it and try and get 2 12s. i agree with you. you can't try and cram things into small places where they don't fit... at least not in the audio world Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

CleanSierra Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I don't think 8.22 inches of port per cube is enough honestly. What kind of port area is he running now? My vote would be for two kickass 12's also. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9515ROB Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 if you deiced to sell it for some reason let me know i have always wanted to play with the solo x 18 - 1998 Ford Mustang - Time to rebuild. 4 15s and alot of power TEAM DTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Here are the measurements that will work... H-13in W-35in D-25in Im not sure what my car peeks at so tuning and port can be suggested and this is my current box it sucks The reason the current box sucks is because it's not nearly enough airspace for that 18". You need at least 7-8 cubes of air before displacements. I think you could get a great trade for that sub, or sell it outright and get good money for it, and THEN go get some nice 12's. You'd have almost the same cone area as that 18 with 2 12's(not quite, but close). Without using the back seat, I don't see how you'll ever make that sub sound its best.

My vote would be for two kickass 12's also. actually for round ports i think 8-12 per cube is the range. chris torres actually said once that it doesn't have to be exactly within the range, it just has to be close. i wish i could do better, but 5" diameter tubes are hard to come by and they don't do much for the box. i can't agree with you more about having a couple 12's vs an 18, however the task at hand was to create a box for an 18.

727Designs Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 That sub will like a box ALOT bigger than you have to work with.

The box he designed me is the exact same size box I have now in my trunk fully removable.. the difference is the new one will be ported correctly and not leak air Hi SMD Members If anybody has computer problems and is an SMD member with at least 150 posts I will fix your problems for free by phone support or I can also fix your computer over the internet....
