1996BLKBauer Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 So I would like to make a box for them. Every box I have ever had before has been a prefabbed box. So since these are old, and not going to be making a huge statement, I just want to make a box for fun to sharpen up my skills. I am sort of up in the air on what to make though. I am 95% sure I want a ported box, because making a sealed box would be too easy. I downloaded the manual for the subs, and they suggested some odd designs for them. one was even like what Steve had planned for the Lexus, where they face each other in opposition. So what do you guys think I should do? Quote 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V8 AWD So far with the Ford/JBL Stock Stereo system, Alpine System coming soon.

Joe X Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 So here's a suggestion for your JBL's: Enclosure Specifications: Fb = 35 Hz Vb = 2.8 ft^3 External Height = 16 in External Width = 30 in External Depth = 18 in Port Width = 3 1/4 in Cut Sheet List: * All Dimensions in Inches. * Wood Thickness is 3/4 for all Parts. External Enclosure Parts: Top & Bottom = 30 x 18 Left & Right Sides = Side 1 = 16 1/2 x 14 1/2 Side 2 = 17 1/4 x 14 1/2 Front = 26 x 14 1/2 Back = 30 x 14 1/2 L Port Internal Assembly Parts: Front to Back = 13 1/4 x 14 1/2 Extension = 11 3/4 x 14 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly know nothing about tuning for a certain frequency, or what one to tune a box to.

You did all the fun stuff for me. Quote 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V8 AWD So far with the Ford/JBL Stock Stereo system, Alpine System coming soon.
