CWorthington Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 So, I'm getting my ideas together on a new trunk enclosure. I've got a very rough draft of what I plan on doing. I haven't picked out the subs i will be using, but i do know they will be 12's and are over 700RMS a piece. Anyways, I want to design a sealed box with plexiglass because i feel a sealed box has better SQ than a ported, but i'm always open minded. I was wondering if there is a way to secure the plexiglass with this design, and how will it affect the acoustics. Any help is great appreciated. Thanks PS. Has anybody realized how bad spell check messes up your wording? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412 CVX Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 personally, i think sealed boxes are a waste of a rear wave. but to incorporate the window into the box (use lexan), do 2 layers of the wood and make it so you can flush mount the window. something like this: i can't speak from experience on how it will affect the acoustics of the box, but i doubt it will do much if anything noticeable, especially in a sealed box. Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

CWorthington Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Nice box. Thank you for the information. Also what do you mean a waste? I want good sound quality, want it to pound, and want over 140db on the meter when i go to my next competion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 you can get great SQ from a ported box. don't fall into that trap of thinking ported boxes are bad for SQ F150: Stock 2019 Harley Road Glide: Amp: TM400Xad - 4 channel 400 watt Processor: DSR1 Fairing (Front) 6.5s -MMats PA601cx Lid (Rear) 6x9s - TMS69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWorthington Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 you can get great SQ from a ported box. don't fall into that trap of thinking ported boxes are bad for SQ I already did. But the good news is i can still get out. =] Anyways, i think im going to have to revise my plans. How can i avoid bad SQ when building a ported box? Like sanding the port hole flush? Any other stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412 CVX Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 get it designed right. roundover the port openings. Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs.

n8ball2013 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 there are lots of tricks to improve airflow etc but the real trick is to build and tune a solid and well designed one. Rounding the corners and the port edges the rear of the subcutouts things like that are all great but if its not designed or built well it has the potential to sound like ass.

Any other stuff? 1) the design should keep group delay low. 2) you should use "only" flared air ports. Two very basic things to watch for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWorthington Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Damn, so now im nervous about making my own ported box. 412 CVX what program did you use to make that picture of your box, im using ms paint lol. Are having boxes designed expensive? I could supply most of the supplies, minus the router and table saw and stuff. Maybe i should just use my current sealed box for my new subs what ever i decided to get. Ah, help anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
