Robby Holmes Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 going to be for a single 15" XL M2 currently getting about 1600rms (after i purchase h/o alternator will bump it up to 3k) but, i want to build a box for myself and go kind of all out with it (glassed inside, 45's/possibly kurfs, etc.) but i know i dont want aero ports (just due to me not liking how the look) so, i need some recommendations for square port area. other than that, its going to be 3.2 cubes (hopefully tuned to ~40hz) going into a 97 buick riviera input welcomed and appreciated!

Joe X Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Here is a suggestion, dims taken from your older thread: Enclosure Specifications: Fb = 38.3 Hz Vb = 3.35 ft^3 External Height = 16 in External Width = 37.5 in External Depth = 17 in Port Width = 4 in Cut Sheet List: * All Dimensions in Inches. * Wood Thickness is 3/4 for all Parts.

Joe X Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 You have to know your vehicle's resonant frequency and tune in a way that the box peaks at that frequency, it's done with flared aeros since those let you fine tune easily and have low surface resistance/turbulence.
