mbdblue Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 you will probably have better/louder output if you lose 1 sub and do 3 10s ported or even 2 10s ported instead of trying to cram a bunch of subs into too small of a space. it gets frustrating trying to fit it all and playing with numbers for bracing, clearance, thickness, etc. sometimes just isn't worth all the trouble. kudos to the guys that are helping you out with these boxes though. From your numbers on the first page, I got 5.72 cubes gross (with thickness of MDF taken into consideration) which is probably fine for 2-3 10s ported.

DODGE-BASSHEAD25 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 It just keep flexing the trunk lid, the energy is translated into rattling and there is not much of a point on doing that but I guess you can always try... Will it put out any SPL at all? I mean I just want to hit around a 120db on demand. Will it at least sound good? No one will advise you to do that box, wil it sound good to you?? well who knows, if you put 2 of those subs on a ported box will sound AS LOUD as 4 in a sealed. That would sound to me as a good deal! so bottom line if im using all four the best/loudest design would be the ''V'' design? the new one.

That would sound to me as a good deal! so bottom line if im using all four the best/loudest design would be the ''V'' design? the new one. What if I used the old "V" design. Would it sound weird if I mounted the two outer subs inverted and the inner subs regular.

Joe X Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 You could do that with the outer subs only. Don't know if sound would be affected that much but I would opt out that option myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if sound would be affected that much but I would opt out that option myself. im just thinking it would be a easier box to build. and im not too good with cutting and mounting to make rings and the different locations of the subs. why wuld you opt out of it? and when i mount them will i need to reverse the ploarity by reversing the speaker wires on the inverted subs?

412 CVX Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Like i said before, a 4th order may be a viable option and might get louder than the basic 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.

Well I just prefer not to have one sub firing at the body of another one, most likely it's not a big deal but if it can be avoided I would certainly do, also you will need to have wiring exposed. The MDF rings ca be found on eBay in quantities if you just opt out doing the job yourself. I mean, I am still all in for a 2 sub ported design, usually you cut 8-9 rectangular pieces if wood - no angles and you are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412 CVX Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Well a 4th order is a little more complicated. it requires some tuning. something people usually don't do for free. it will look something like this though just on a bit smaller of a scale with 4 10's hit me up on PM and we can talk. Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs.
