This a good design for 2 DC lvl 2 8's?

[SojiaRaggs9000]

OK SOOOO ... I ordered 2 DC lvl 2 8 last night. So I sketched up these plans using Google sketch up.

DC recommends .8 cubic ft per sub. This is what i came up with.

Overall dimensions of

29.25in Width x 12in Height x 15in Depth

Each chamber would be

15in Width x 12in Height x 15in Depth

giving me an internal dimensions of

13.5in Width x 10.5in Height x 13.5in Depth

( 1.10742 cubic ft per chamber )

I want to tune it to 33 ish (is this a good range for these 8's?) For the port measurements this is what I got.

1.25in Port Width x 10.5 Port Height x 1.10742 cu ft gives me a port length of 26.5180...

Would the 1.25in port at this size give me port noise from being so small?

1.10742cu ft - .10 sub displacement - .05583 port displacement

Which would give me .95159 per chamber after displacement. Hows my math? Does the sketch up look legit like it would do the trick? Any suggestions?

No one?

I don't think they should be in seperate chambers but i could be wrong, and hopefully someone more knowledgeable will coreect me if im wrong.

I always thought separate chambers was the way to go? Would common chambers yeld more response? Or since its such little air space it shold be shared?

I would go with 1 common chamber and 1 port.

[SojiaRaggs9000]

with 2 to 1.8cu ft before displacement?

1.5cu, 26sq port

[SojiaRaggs9000]

Alrighty then.

[SojiaRaggs9000]

Better? (Don't worry I'll center the cutouts)

Box:

24W X 12H X 13D (1.57227cu ft)

Port:

11.8125W X 10.5H X 26.35373644L

Would a port down the middle be better than one down the side?
