CleanSierra Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 There's no need for separate chambers, your ports are too small, your stubbornness is unwarranted, and NOBODY likes having midbass fire at the back of their head who actually likes their music to sound good. Don't mix subs, amps, or box sizes/types. Welcome to smd Agree with this guy^^. Why are you set on two chambers? Why are you wanting to consider fiberglass? Do you have any experience with fiberglass? Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any experience with fiberglass? yes i have some experience with fiberglass, working on cars with my uncle.. i don't NEED 2 chambers but I do want that in case one sub blows, I still have the other to hold me off til i have more cash later. it's more of a financial issue, one of my subs blew once already and I'm glad i had two chambers because the 1 sub held me off til I could afford another. and I didn't know that about mid-bass speakers, thanks for letting me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Well, I have the box built now, tried out some various music on it. The response seems to curve off slow from tuning up but not bad really. I don't have the 50hz wang any more for sure. Weird thing is it doesn't seem all that much louder in the slot port but it is hitting harder i'm sure. I had my hatch rattle under control before and now it's back with a vengeance. Plus I can play the lows with way more authority now. I do need to give this box some more test time to give a better review. But a first listen it seems better. Also it's kind of cool to have all that air coming out of the port. . Quote Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

bassface Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) I also think 3" ports are too small, i would go with 4" at least. Edited June 3, 2012 by bassface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillan Turvold Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 heres the $9 focal midbass for you http://www.parts-exp...tnumber=299-155 would these drivers keep up with my subs at full volume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Get some jbl comps and run 300w rms on them, almost all jbl comps take power very well and sound good doing it while not breaking the bank and can pump some midbass but if your wanting to get loud then you'll likely need 2 sets to keep up with the sub bass.
