miniSPLlancer Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I don't have any experience with DC subs but the box looks good, you may want to brace side to side as well, wouldn't hurt, but good looking box Quote 2011 Mitsubishi OutlanderSony 712 Soundqubed HDS208 Alpine MRV-M500 Transmission line enclosure Soundqubed wiring Knu rca XS Power battery CNF terminals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcpballer64 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I think conceptually looks fine, I can't speak to what the dc subs like tho. But good first design if its your first.

pa-pa-platypus Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 unless im looking at this wrong..the port is 28 long on the side that is 31 long correct? if so id make so the end of the port is the width of the port away from the back of the box...if that makes sense Quote This isn't teeball.

stanbro Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 you looking at width.. the port runs length wise.. gap is 4.5" so lost an inch. I was trying to keep the area directly bellow the woofers a consistent flat surface. no sure if it really matters though unless im looking at this wrong..the port is 28 long on the side that is 31 long correct? if so id make so the end of the port is the width of the port away from the back of the box...if that makes sense Quote Build v1 15" Skar VVX (custom ported box) w/1.2k Sundown ampBuild v2 18" DC XL x2 (custom ported box) w/4.5k Skar amp Build v3.3 destruction and re-construction time!
