Joe X Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Ok so the AQ SDC2.5 work best on 4-4.5 cuft per sub and 14-15 sqin/cuft so you are low, here is a design suggestion on your space: Enclosure Specifications: Fb = 32,351 Hz Vb = 7,67 ft^3 Subwoofer Mounting = Flush Mounted External Height = 17 in External Width = 38 in External Depth = 30 in Port Width = 6 in Cut List: * All Dimensions in Inches. * Wood Thickness is 3/4 for all Parts. External Enclosure Parts: Front = 31 1/4 x 15 1/2 Front Internal = 30 1/2 x 15 1/2 Back = 38 x 15 1/2 Left & Right Sides: Side 1 = 28 1/2 x 15 1/2 Side 2 = 27 3/4 x 15 1/2 Top & Bottom = 38 x 30 L Port Internal Assembly Parts: Front to Back = 19 1/2 x 15 1/2 For your type of vehicle is recommended subs/ports in the same face front or rear firing so both should be tried.

pa-pa-platypus Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 for that sub you can tune higher.. try a tuning closer to 35-36 htz youll be alot happier and it will free up some room in your box Quote This isn't teeball. YOU DO NOT GET A TROPHY JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOW UP. Put the work in and then maybe get the respect when it has been earned 151.6 with single 12 at 41 hz 153.2 with 2 12's at 43 hz power: dd m4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
