ChevyBoy95 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 really thinking about adding another level 5 18 to my truck, and keeping the box pretty much at the window line. my main question is port area, and firstly, I WILL NOT WALL IT, anyone who even suggests that will be ignored (not trying to be an ass so i am giving warning), second, I am just trying to see how much port i really need, tuning will be low 30s, like 32-34. Each sub will get about 5.5 cubes (yes, this is ok, Ive talked to rusty, just forgot to ask about port area). And lastly, please dont say 12-16 per cube should be ok... Just trying to get a straight forward answer. thanks in advance for anyone trying to help. current box: 6.1 cubic feet, 31.9hz, 115 sq in of port. I love the way it sounds, but there is no way i can get 230 sqin of port and maintain anything above 8 cubes, also im not seeking to get that much port area either.

LoudNLow931 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 My wall had 220 Port area(for 2 LVL5s) and I hated it. I lowered down to about 150port area and loved it.

Decaf Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 this is why 2 15s can be better because you can fit the appropriate box you need to state how much power the subs are getting to figure out how much volume/port area is need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already have box plans, new amp rack plans, electrical, etc. and power will be around 2300 for starters, not much for them, but will be louder than what i have now for sure. they will be in nice sized chambers, 3.4cubes per sub, and a decent sized port, 66 sq in per, 33/34hz Edited February 20, 2012 by ChevyBoy95 Quote Best Score to Date : 160.5 dB Outlaw (47Hz)[4 XM 15's & 2 Taramps Bass 12k's] BL : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/147800-chevyboy95s-4-15s-7krms-wall-1533-db-on-half-power/YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/hitemwiththeflex/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
