SkylarDunn Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Thats all the airspace a lvl 6 needs? its a lvl 6 but it's still a 12" sub lol. the size of a sub has NOTHING to do with the amount of air space it needs. Its all related to the T/S specs. OrionStang, i'd recommend getting a WT3 and measuring the T/S specs of your sub, then going through a design program and finding something that looks like something you'd enjoy. Getting bass into the cabin of a W124 mercedes is impossible. Current setup: Temp 1999 panasonic HU rockford 300.2 for fronts rockford 200.2 for rears rockford 400.1 for sub Leaning towards a 8" in an exponential horn DAMN YOU GERMANS AND YOUR 5" SPEAKERS!

OrionStang Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Im considering that. Its not that expensive from parts express. Whats your opinion about the port, Skylar? Think the 11.5x2.5 would be too skinny, even though its the right area? SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

412 CVX Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 this should make a nice addition to my facebook page. let me take a crack at this. be back tomorrow night with a design! 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.

Ray Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 People often forget that acoustical energy is way cheaper than electrical energy And since when is an entire brand suddenly ok to be crammed into these shoebox size enclosures? Ive done drop in's from small to big. And yes even with DC. Bigger box was louder lower every time.

I can build in the trunk, but then sub up would be the only option. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylarDunn Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I cant really say anything about the port, because the amount of port area your sub will need is decided by the TS specs, and how much xmax it has. the higher you tune, the more port area you need, thats the only port spec thats set in stone, that, and you ALWAYS need a flare on the port. Since i bought my WT3, im suprised i didnt buy one sooner. Just used it to measure a boston G1 12" im going to be putting in an avalanche next week Edit: i would assume that it has a crazy high QTS value tho, meaning it would need a massive ported box, or a medium sized sealed enclosure with a bit of closed cell foam on the rear baffle to minimize rear wave distortion. Its a crazy exspensive sub, and normally a sub wouldnt need that, but if you're paying that much for one, might as well get the most out of it.
