Bigvell Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Subject 12'' Punch Hx2 should I port them or keep them in my sealed box. My problem has always been trunk space, I own a Honda and well you already know. My current system sounds decent, the box is chambered 1 cubic ft. per sub But I know there can be more shake. Oh and Ps if I do decide to port = im on a tight budget what so you think about 4'' PVC for the mean time. im thinking port noise Edited February 23, 2012 by Bigvell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Post the maximum dims you have available and yes you can go with aero ports in some cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe X Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Yes you can do ported very well on that space with 3 4" aero ports (flared), ports/subs in the same face front firing is suggested, take a look: Enclosure Specifications: Fb = 36.048 Hz Vb = 4.128 ft^3 External Height = 13 in External Width = 30.25 in External Depth = 28 in Cut List: * All Dimensions in Inches. * Wood Thickness is 3/4 for all Parts. External Enclosure Parts: 2 x Front & Back (3 parts) = 30 1/4 x 13 Left & Right Sides = 25 3/4 x 11 1/2 Top & Bottom = 30 1/4 x 25 3/4 Port Quantity and Dimensions: Number of Ports = 3 Pipe Port Diameter = 4 Pipe Port Length = 16 Top to bottom and front to back crossbracing applies. Let me know any questions. Edited February 24, 2012 by Joe X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know any questions. 4 cubes seems a bit large for a 12 don't you think?

Bigvell Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I like, I like. I have 2 hx2s, My bad about those dims. I have a bunch of ideas wrote down on flash cards & i gave the wrong one lbs. dims = W30.25 H13 D26 I figured 3.94 cubic ft minus the space from the subs. What do you think Edited February 24, 2012 by Bigvell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) It will sound tight but still on spec: Enclosure Specifications: Fb = 36.06 Hz Vb = 3.687 ft^3 Subwoofer Mounting = Flush Mounted External Height = 13 in External Width = 30.25 in External Depth = 26 in Cut List: * All Dimensions in Inches. * Wood Thickness is 3/4 for all Parts. External Enclosure Parts: 2 x Front & Back (3 parts) = 30 1/4 x 13 Left & Right Sides = 23 3/4 x 11 1/2 Top & Bottom = 30 1/4 x 23 3/4 Port Quantity and Dimensions: Number of Ports = 3 Pipe Port Diameter = 4 Pipe Port Length = 18 1/4 As before top to bottom and front to back crossbracing applies.

SnowDrifter Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Joe, I think you might be looking at the specs on the 18 or something. 3.7 cubic feet is ENORMOUS for a single 12 inch sub.
