rstiltner0116 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 im in the process of building a ported box housing 2 15" kicker comps. goin in the back of my s10 ext cab. goin 7 cubes @ 33hz. and im stumped. this will be my first box build so i need ideas on designing this. so far this is what ive got, box width: 41 box height: 24 box depth top and bottom : 18 wood thickness: 0.75 square port height 22.5 square port width 4.3 square port L1 12.95 square port L2 12.95 total port lenght 32.4 square port diameter 11.09 square port area 96.75 box vol. (ft3) 6.662 tuned freq: 31.7 id like to be able to have the port firing forward on the passenger side and subs firing up. but this calculator im using isnt givin me any option but to fire both either up or forward together. what i need to know is how the inside should look or how to direct my air to the port ass efficiently as possible. and is my port to big for these subs. if so please give me any advice you can. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy_chick3n Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) what box calculator are you using? because when i punch it into torres calculator, i end up with a tuning of 32.91hz before woofer or bracing displacement. lets just say you were to do minimal bracing, with woofer displacement you would be sitting around 36hz with a net volume of 5.21ft^3. maybe a little re design is in order. im not the best with box designing, i know a little bit, but ive only begun to chip the ice. but if you are set on tuning at 33hz with 6 cubes, you might want to play around with the design a little bit. also port area seems low to me. at 96.75 in^2, but i could be wrong.

rstiltner0116 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 see thats what i was wondering, about the whole design, if it was legit. i was using the re audio calc. im just needin help designing it all basically. i dont know much of anything when it comes to designing boxes. i have a cab space available of 42W x 27H x 20D. i need help with basically all of the porting and tuning but id like to be at 32 or 33Hz. if possible. ive heard that would be best for these subs in a large box. i basically need someone to design me a box from my cab dimensions lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john253a Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 No way tune them that low, Unless thats what your after, get the tuning up to 36-37hz, and save yourself so net volume, Also not home so can't use any programs, as for port/sub unless your after numbers, Then sub up port up or fwd will do just fine, Why only 42w you should be able to go close to 52" 54" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
