ItsMoldyYo Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I vrealize alot of people who use this forum have dc audio so lets see what attentionb this question gets..... Im lookin at a dc audio 10 xl...22oo rms 4400 max, ill be running a brz 2100.1d, it will be in a mini van, the max dimensions i have to work with are 33" long x 15" deep x 15" tall... I see that dc audio reccommends 1 cubic ft tuned @ 38 hrz..... I thought 1cube was way small for this monster of a sub... anybody have any other thoughts on an enclosure for this beast????

CleanSierra Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 How is that ALL the space you have to work with in a minivan? And why are you choosing only a 10"? 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...
ItsMoldyYo Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 i want to keep the mini van a mini van, hense the single ten inch sub.... i got kids and tons of kids friends too so its always a challenge.... i didnt wanna go with a traditional box. created one with the displacement included in it.... 33" long x 12"deep x 10" tall.... with the dc audio reccommended size i would need a filler in the box around 19"... this would bring it back down to about 1ft cubed... my question rather is... isnt 1 cubed ft small for this monster sub?

Socky Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 if thats what they recommend, then yes it is, people tend to go a little bit bigger for a more flatter response.

ItsMoldyYo Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 joe x is actually the one who gave my friend the specs for that custom box but i dont wanna bother him, and be a pest so i figure id just post to see what other pll have done for the dc 10 xl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMoldyYo Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 thanks for the input, its a debate on whether i should do 1ft cubed @38 hrz or 1.5 or 1.6 around 40 hrz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) joe x is actually the one who gave my friend the specs for that custom box but i dont wanna bother him, and be a pest so i figure id just post to see what other pll have done for the dc 10 xl Nevermind, I don't get bothered, contact this member to discuss a spec for DC subs: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/user/27969-cj18/ You could go to a somewhat larger volume with that power without any issues. I will be glad to redo the box to a different spec. Tuning to 40Hz may not sound very nice though. Edited July 17, 2012 by Joe X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMoldyYo Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 ok, i see i got your attention without being a pest lol... thanks joe, you gave my friend a blueprint for the 12" pioneer champion series pro.... here was my idea for a box in the man van.... 33" long x 12"deep x 10" tall.... i didnt want a huge box but one big enough to mount the amp to the top of the box along with the top mounted dc xl, and still have room for the port....i did the math and with the displacement i found that a spacer at 17" with the displacement of .18 ft cubed will give me 1.00055555555.... do i need to make the spacer at 18" for the displacement of the l port? any help would be wonderful i want this 1 ten to be supreme in this 10" comp i got going...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMoldyYo Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 its not that the box u designed is flawed just waiting to break the 12" in thats in it this box is a whoie new project for the van... would like the top mount idea because of all the free air space inside the van. you got my specs on what i would like but i dont know what lengths to make the l port.....any ideas joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
