1994 Ford F350 CC Build- Stalled out for a bit! Sorry!


Recommended Posts

Ok so since i've not updated anything in a while, and I'm getting stir crazy, I've decided to do a couple things. First I'm going to take the DC Audio 8's and build an enclosure for them to go behind the rear seat for now. The quick numbers are 1.43 cu ft, tuned to 34.05 hz and will be powered by the Soundstream Rubicon 1.1600D amp. All will be contained to the back wall. As I said this is only temporary. But I have a couple of questions.

My first thought was to put the subs on the driver side and port up so the port comes up behind the seat but centered on the seat, or in the middle. Does this sound ok or should I put the subs in the middle and port on the driver side?

Second is, actually I only had that one question really.

I am planning to pull the door panels this weekend and get started on the doors too. We'll see how that works out.

That's all for now.

Ok guys I need some help. Here's the design for the temp set up.

2 - DC Audio M2 8's

1 - Soundstream Rubicon RUB1.1600D

1 - Soundstream Rubicon RUB4.600

Enclosure is at about 1.43 cu ft, port is 3 x 5 x 18 and tuned to about 34hz

Here's the enclosure on sketch up. It's 12" tall x 55" wide x 7" deep top and 8" deep bottom. The amp rack is going to be on top, again this is temporary so no fancy covers or anything like that.

This is the view of the back where you can see the port.

My questions are these:

1 - With the port being where it is, and facing toward the subs, is that going to cause unloading issues?

2 - Another option would be to port in the center up and bend toward the front, then split the subs one on either side, would that be better?

3 - I'm trying not to go buy any wood for this, again temporary set up. I have a full sheet of 1/2" birch and 1/2" mdf and a partial sheet of 3/4" mdf, although it's not long enough for a full panel. Would I be ok in using the 1/2" and bracing inside?

I'm going to try and get this thing started today! Got a half day off! We'll see how that goes.

Let me know guys! I'm ready to get going on it! PROGRESS WHATTTT?!?!?!!

The first one looks the most natural to me. Is there a specific reson for the port being along the back and not the side though?

I also keep picturing this with an aeroport :)

Doesn't the port block off the subs in the second one?
