someone1 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Hea y'all, I just need someone to check over what I have done so I know I'm doing everything correctly. I would also like your opinions on this (ex. Whether or not it will do justice in the given situation and ect). The plan is to but this in the back of a Cadillac Deville 2000 and fire it toward the trunk (sub will be firing in the same direction of the port to!). It will be holding a AQ Copper Coil HDC3 15" sub with a Elemental Designs Nine.1. I would like to know if I need bracing, if I picked the right frequency to tune the box, but most off all I would LOVE to know if I calculated the port length right? lol Here's the pics. Here's what I came up with: This is what i have designed: Thanks! If I missed something, just let me know!

412 CVX Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) looks pretty good, but i'd put some 45's in the pressure corners. maybe one in the port as well. double baffle and some bracing wouldn't hurt. IIRC the HDC3 is a big ass sub. try to flush mount if you can, it's a lot louder. Edited October 22, 2011 by 412 CVX Quote 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.

someone1 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hmm I was thinking about the double baffle last night too, and yea, I was contemplating the 45's, I've been reading that some people say it didnt matter, some say it did as usuall lol. And you mean flush mount as in the sub will be mounted on the first baffle and the second baffle will go on top of the sub? (if that makes sense? lol) But my main question is, did i get the port length correct? (as Torres calculator said it should be?) Thanks!

412 CVX Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 yeah looks fine to me. and as for the 45's, if they are put in the right place they are proven to help. check out the SPL gains thread, there's a lot of tips and tricks on there Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs.

And 30.5hz a little too low, I was shooting for more of a 32hz area. And I guess I'll add some 45's in there. But if I add two 45's in there then it'll probably raise raise the tunning to 32 hz correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i can come up with something though. I think the 45's take up about .14 each if i added it up right, but ill add it up again and see, now what about bracing? I'm planning on using 1' wood dowels, ill make another drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
