Omega5002 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Good idea, better to get some good mid's and high's also, especially if you listen to metal where treble is king where bass isn't as big. Sound deadening is a good investment also, rattle sucks, and it'll make the inside better acoustically, so you'll get better sound quality just by putting in sound deadening.

kreator_destruction_sodom Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) truth be told i dont hear any rattling from my car.. (only some change in the cup holder lol, would it be hard to convert the box to a ported box after i build it as a sealed? , im gonna go to bestbuy/futureshop and try to listen to some metal on ported boxes and see how it sounds, if i really like it ill make a ported box tommorow using the dimensions i posted above. in the event that i do what freq should i tune it at and where should i put the slot on the box?.

TeamHT Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Why build a new BIGGER box just to add poly? Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega5002 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Depends on how big the sealed box is, but it's better to start from scratch when building a ported box. Best Buy is usually a terrible place to test out ported boxes cause prefab ported boxes are usually too small, and tuned too high cause the stupid mainstream car audio motto is "Sealed box = sq, ported = spl" which isn't true at all.

Omega5002 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I honestly find it a bad idea to convert a sealed box to a ported box.

kreator_destruction_sodom Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I honestly find it a bad idea to convert a sealed box to a ported box. i havent built it yet , i planned to build it tommorow with a friend, all i have done is cut out the panels in those dimensions.

kreator_destruction_sodom Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) ok so im going with the sealed box, why not give it a shot. heres how i plan on building the box as per kicker spec, from the Kicker Comp manual. my main question is , i double checked the dimensions using torre's box tuning calculator and it gave me something different, torre's box tuning calculator says that front/back (A) panels should be in between the top/down( B ) panels like ( C ) is in the figure above. now i dont know how to build it, should i follow the figure above and build it like that or put the front/back (A) panels in between the top/down ( B ) panels. ???

412 CVX Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 build it like that right there... 4 cubes is HUGE for a pair of tens. but 4 cubes in a sealed box i'd imagine would be damn near infinite baffle 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.
