SMZ2 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I need help designing a box for a fi/psi 18 the motor is from a old fi bl motor. It will be going in a nissan xterra I want it to be tuned between 30-32hz. Also can I get some help on wiring direct leads in parallel on the inside of the box?

Real96SS Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Well first you need to post max dimensions and the power you plan on using to give the designers a good idea of what they have to work with. As for connecting the direct leads inside the box,you can use some ring terminals and a screw/nut combo or just run them to their own connection point on the box.That way you can wire outside the box if you ever want to change ohm loads.Thats what I did.

SMZ2 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Okay just got the sub today! Here are the dimensions in 3 ft x 6 in for the width, 2ft for the depth I made an amp rack that takes up depth space if more space is needed I will remove it and mount the amp to the box once its built and the height is 1ft x 4 inches and that is right below the window line. Thank you for the help.

RAM_Designs Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 You'll need to use those max dimensions to get enough volume for that sub.

SMZ2 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Aight man I can get a measurement of the max depth tomorrow but I'm pretty sure it'll only give me a few inches like 2 or 3 because the amp rack is pushed up against the seat Quote My Build Log!http://www.stevemead...nissan-xterror/ Check the Youtube Channel for Updates!http://www.youtube....ser/Xterror2002And Seller Feedbackhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/163179-bought-from-smz2/#entry2363713 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
252chevyboyz Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Whats going on man? Glad to hear you got that beast in finally. I will post a link to Torre's box calc below. That may help out with dimensions. I have seen some great boxes designed here on SMD and hopefully I can see this PSI slammin in a sick box here soon. Ray, Kranny, Ram_Designs, and Crandis16's info has helped me understand boxes quite a bit more and not to mention Torre's great invention. I have seen some of Dave the Box Guy's work on YouTube and he has some quality work for sure. http://www.mediafire...w40an4l5ygh56g8 -James **edit** Tuned in for the box Edited June 28, 2012 by 252chevyboyz Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMZ2 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Okay my depth without the amp rack is 2ft x 7 inches to the top of the seat that was with the trunk closed all the way to the trunk. and 3 ft all the way at the bottom of my seats the seats sit at an angle. Hopefully this added space will help design an appropriate enclosure. Thank you.

252chevyboyz Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 If someone could tell me how many cubes he may need to have for this sub I will probably mess around in Torres a little bit later today. More on the 4.5 cube side or one the big side near 6 cubes. @smz2: did the sub come with a spec sheet? Like displacment and all?
