RCP Audio Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hey Guys, I quickly designed this box for my girlfriend. Its her birthday in 3 days and decided she wants some beat in her car. She drives a little hatch back where the boot is 1m wide. She doesnt wanna loose much space in the boot so I came up with this. If I majorly stuffed it up somewhere let me know. the box has to pretty much be this size for her car has lots of angles in the boot and this is as high and wide as i can go. the sub and amp are going to be this My link I know its not overly impressive but it will do her just fine, she thinks my car is too loud (2 x 12's on 900rms) so the money im not spending on her gear im putting towards the holiday she doesnt know were going on yet. Anyway, on to pics, any feedback is good including 'its a POS so start again'. the sub will be facing into the sealed side (sub displacement effects ported side) to get the port tuned low as possible I had to make it thinner then the box. so to do this im building the port in-between two pieces of 16mm mdf and will put the whole thing inside the box to make the port smaller if that makes sense. I may add another piece on both sides to tune it lower im not sure yet I will upload build pics of it aswell as my new box for my car when i make that too Quote PSN: Rcp_soundz Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps. The higher the more amperage it pulls, this is what I look at. I'll stick a 300 amp fuse in a potato and sell it to you for $2k. 1991 Mazda 323VERY small build thread here: http://www.stevemead...23-small-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carshateme Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) You may want to add braces between the ports. Also that speaker cut out is too small.

Google sketch is a good measurement tool...it's very accurate, That sub cut out is way to small....unless that was a bracket.........and I've seen ports like that...with no small braces in between them...blow right off from the pressure hitting against them.

The cut out for the sub is the size that they have posted on their website. I'll measure it and post a pic when I get home I'm on mobile now. Only thing I might have to change is the size of the box coz idk if the outer bit of the sub ring will fin inside Quote PSN: Rcp_soundz Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps.
