Forevrbumpn Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 My step daughters boyfriend has seen a car or 2 that I did for other friends, and customers, and asked me to do something for him louder than what he had. I forget the subs, but it was 2- 12"s sealed, prefab box, on a semi generic Gravity amp.... He jumped up to high quality, great sounding Memphis m3s in a custom built ported box. I dont have any pics of the very beginning start, but I have them 3/4s way thru. If you noticed, I pay great attention to the port design. I wanted the air to be a free flowing, and aero dynamic as possible, so compress the air, I used a funnel technique... This box should slam Its 38-40hz, which is perfect for these M3s, and the Car, Civic Trunk car so here are the pics- nothing to special, but possibly take notes on the port design :-) ^^^ laying down some 1/4" wood to catch the shape of the side, so I can make carpeted side caps... I always do this, cuz my carppeting skills are not up to par -but I usually paint them ^ I left the carpet over hanging some because the hole was a little lose. I do this for that reason, and to center the woofer easier, so I dont start striping wood Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made some the other night but they must not have been wide enough or something. How wide are yours??? That port looks like it flows great..I have to do mine like that..I just got to get these 45's down. I am gonna give it another go this afternoon. Nice Box.

Forevrbumpn Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 The 45s are simple, just need a table saw, or radial arm saw, or circ saw, and do is long strips, and then cut down to size needed, then you always have extra laying around........ I usually try and keep them about 3" wide on the outside that angle on the port, well, that is like 30deg... I tested the box tonite on 70 watts tonite, full rage, and I must say, its Ken Tested, and Ken approved ;-) Quote I have a ritual called "terminator".

Yeah bro, these 12s, and the 15s I was off a lil bit, but I did NOT go by the specs of thje cut out diamters, but I used a T square, and a right angle, and held them as if they were a large calipers, and got the OD of the cut out, which was like 11- 1/16" OD 15"s were like 14- 1/8" cut outs Quote I have a ritual called "terminator".
