jarrius Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 Hello, I am new to the forms here and still new to car audio (all tho i think i have learned alot for the little time i have been in to it.) Well here is where im at and what im using as of now. JL 10w1V2 8ohm Sealed box built by JL audio Kenwood 200-1 deck Kenwood 600 Watt bridgable amp to power the subs. I want to build a box my self for the subs but i kina dont know where to start. I know i want the box to be ported for a different sound then sealed and i know to use MDF bord but the over all hight with and port tuning is what i dont know at all. i have looked online and have found out some info but still kinda drawing a blank on how to actually do it correctly with out hurting my woofers. Any help would be great 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole
jarrius Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Posted April 21, 2012 I talked to a JL rep dealer today and he pretty much said take http://www.jlaudio.com/10w1v2-8-car-audio-w1v2-subwoofer-drivers-92073 that diesine and double the langth but make sure i use 2 ports instead of 1 and make sure that i put a divider in the box to make each sub in there own sepret contaiment area. i hope you understand what i mean. ([]oIo[]) pretty much that the ( and the ) are the out side walls the I is the diver of the subs and the [] are the ports. Please any help would be so nice 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole
BEEMDUB Posted April 21, 2012 Report Posted April 21, 2012 to be honest dude I think that would sound better in a sealed box..

BEEMDUB Posted April 21, 2012 Report Posted April 21, 2012 Sealed boxes are very easy to build as you just use the recommended enclosure volume and build away they present tight punchy bass that has better sq on average over a ported box ...ported boxes have to be built very specifically or they'll sound like shit they will yield higher spl than a sealed but won't be quite as accurate in the sq department.. Look up the Torres box calculator if you decide to try ported... But seeing as your sub is an 8 ohm shallow mount I would do more of a sq setup with it in a sealed
jarrius Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Posted April 22, 2012 Thanks. so pretty much keep what I have the woofers set up as and just work on the mids and highs. To get a nice blend of music with out soundimg like crap. Cool now I need to figure out what I will need for that lol 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole
