SnowDrifter Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) Never owned a BL before, so I figure I will bounce this box design off you guys first For 2 12s on 3500 watts: 4 cubes net @33hz. Seemed to model fairly well in my program, but nothing beats real life experience P.S. What do you guys think of these drivers in general?

dB Don Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 It would be ok but the port area is high. Not too high that it wont resonate well or efficient but your gonna run into problems playing below tuning and playing harmonics below tuning with the sharp response drop. Generally any good daily enclosure with a lot of port area come with lots of depth for port mass. I would try it and graph the response inside the vehicle and if you see too sharp a drop below, say 35 hz then reduce it as needed. Optimally I have seen 50 sq inch ports for dual 12"'s doing really well. It's all in the vehicle loading.

SnowDrifter Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Thanks for the response Don I did some tweaking to the enclosure to bring the tuning down to 33hz. It seems that these drivers like to be tuned a tad lower. Now I am just down to enclosure volume Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
