(Please Read)2 12's should i port the box

[fmedina]

just build a new box the port recommended specs. sealed net volume and port net volume are different. cant just add ports to a sealed box.. if you want to do it properly at least

[MarioB]

you should just by a prefab sealed box and cut some holes in it...lol

on a serious note you can make a nice port out of the spacers cut the center out then cut the back of the spacers to make a port

he said the specs were for ported he then put spacers in it to make it sealed

[DTS909]

you could just unscrew the screws and knock out the spacers, or you could cut them out from the inside with a jigsaw. Or just leave it and use 4" pvc for both sides, just giving you some ideas.

oh..

to op, why didnt you make it ported in the first place lol did you glue and caulked the inside? if so then it will be a bitch trying to alter the box and could possibly mess something up. i just say build a new box

I would say new box trying to move anything that has been glued and screwed is extremely hard, if you can get some good swings with a hammer, If you can't swing a hammer vey far inside the box forget it.

Ok hopefully this gets viewed again.sorry for the misunderstanding,Here we go..I have 2 12's in a box that was originaly suppose to be ported.I decided i was going to slap some walls inside the box and call it a t-line.When i got to that point i realized my measurement was off so i said screw it and I went with the original design(almost)..Yes i have two walls inside the box that spaces the 2 12's.The walls only run 12-1/2 inches to the back of the box(top/bottom is 32inches long and 20 inches deep.that gives a gap of 7-1/2 inches from the end of the spacers to the back of the box(kind of like a ported enclosure) all i have to do now is cut the box in between the spacers and ill have a ported box.I dont have to cut the spacers there is already a 7-1/2 inch gap in the back for air to flow between the 12's.My question is,could i port this box with out destroying what little bit of spl i have.the original design called for a 3x15 inch port(the space between the spacers) but i messed up so now the gap between spacers is 4 inches.at 3 inches it was tuned for 40htz what would be the tuning at 4 inches and should i port it or leave is closed? I am really trying to pull any spl I can

[ALPINE408]

port that bish! it will be wayy louder

and for tunning i can't understand you messurments

[MrFree]
