Wallaceman Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) These are the plans for the new box that i'm building for my 2002 Explorer, and yes it will fit. It's for 4 18" Acoustic Audio 18's, so yes this is a budget build. As in under $800 build... but here's the specs for the box: 1" MDF all around Dimensions: 40 x 39 x 22 Port Dimensions: 20 x 37.5 x 3.5 Gross Volume: 16.27 ft^3 Tuning Frequency: 29.41Hz Port Area: 131.25 in^2 there will be a 1/4 sheet of MDF on top of the face sheet for counter sink... This is similar to lil_wallbangers 4 18 box as far as port design. the subs are "Light weights" and only weigh 17 pounds each... but that's all my budget allows. but ill still build the box up to 1 1/2 to 3" or so.. Let me know what you think http://www.facebook....&type=1 http://www.facebook....&type=1 http://www.facebook....&type=1 I could not get the images posted so you have to use the links, sorry.

Joe X Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I would make a box solid for future replacement of those drivers or make me a single good quality driver box and save the space for omething else... of course that's just me!

412 CVX Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 those look like crap drivers... i'd get some obsidian 18's if you really want the cone area... maybe start out with 2 decent 18's and go from there. you really don't need to do 4 18's to get loud. a couple obsidian 18's on 2k or so would be pretty damned loud. Quote 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.

I'm trying to stay away from bracing as much as possible. Quote Just be honest, it's always a work in progress with ever changing plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
