Toxiccasper Posted December 23, 2007 Report Posted December 23, 2007 Well my friend was looking for a subwoofer to get for christmas and he only had like $300 to spend on it. So I steered him towards the Level 4 18. Im going to be designing and building the box for him but I was wonder what you guys think would be the best size for this box and what tuning. I was thinking like 4.5 cubes tuned to 32-35 hz what do you guys think? Thanks Quote
Cloak559 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Posted December 23, 2007 Youre going to need to be a little bigger than 4.5 cubes. I havent had much time to experiment with a level 4 but i would lean more towards 6-8 cubes @33-36 with 65-80sq.in. of port area...

FYI-Future-Star Posted December 23, 2007 Report Posted December 23, 2007 they recommend 5-8cuft so in between there u will be fine and like cloak559 said 33-36hz tuning i would go 6cuft tuned to 35hz with about 1500-1700 wrms if you can Quote Team O.B.M '97 Tahoe Build after the new year!!!

Toxiccasper Posted December 24, 2007 Author Report Posted December 24, 2007 Ya it aint gonna be that pretty cause we probably cant get our hands on a table saw but I guess we'll find out, also this box is going in the trunk of a Lincoln Continental lol Quote
