Nikitaaa Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) So a buddy of mine really wants to make a custom enclosure for his 10's. We even drove and picked up wood yesterday. But when it comes to an enclosure design for him, I'm lost. He wants something tuned in the 37-38 range that will have a pretty flat response. Can anyone help me with a design? Subs are Kenwood kfc-w2512. I don't even know the recommended specs for these woofers.. Edit- demensions are 18h, 29w, 18 depth Edited July 10, 2012 by Nikitaaa Quote 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Recommended specs for ported is .75-1.75 cubic feet PER sub. So I'd go on the bigger side to get the most out of them, and feed them some good size on port. What vehicle is this going into? Id build a box that was 3 cubic feet after displacements and I'd tune to about 38-40 Hz. Frequency response is supposedly only 37-300 Hz.

I totally forgot to ask him the usable space in the vehicle. Fail on my part. At least I know what the recommended specs are now though! Thanks!

CleanSierra Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 They won't murder the lows by any means, but could make a couple nice subs for a daily driver. You just won't get CRAZY output, judging by power handling and frequency response. I'm sure they will sound good in a well thought out box. Subs up port to the hatch will be loudest I assume.

I figure the same thing. This guy really isn't into lows at all, that's my I assume he wants the higher tuning. He just wants a daily box that sounds better than his current prefab. I'll post demensions in a bit.

CleanSierra Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'm sure you can come up with something better than a prefab tuned to mid 50s haha. Get those dimensions and we will see what we can come up with. 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...

CleanSierra Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 With exactly those dimensions, I'd run with it, since after displacements, you'll be at 3.5 cubes net. So I ran Torres, and I'd run to the upper recommended enclosure size to get as low as possible. I figured a 3" port, which yields over 14" of port per foot and a total of almost 50 inches of port. The tune I have is just over 36 Hz which would probably be okay. Of you wanted it higher a minor adjustment could be made to shortening port length. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll.
