BenzBass Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I need some help on a box I'm working on for a single AQ HDC3 12. I have a mac so I cant download Torres but I've been going between bcae1.com box calculator and the re audio box calculator. Both have me relatively lost so basically I need some help figuring out tuning. The box's dimensions are 30" wide, 16" deep and 13.5" high. I don't really know all the technical terms, so bare with me please. The first port wall (the one that is connected to the baffle or the front or whatever you call it) is 10" long and is 5" away from the side of the box, then the next wall making the L is 15" long. I hope that makes sense. I need someone to help me out with what my frequency is and what determines making the frequency higher or lower? I hope I can get some help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe X Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Can you go a little deeper or wider, guessing this is a trunk car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenzBass Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Can you go a little deeper or wider, guessing this is a trunk car. I could go 6" wider but I would like to keep my current dimensions instead of having to buy all new wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

412 CVX Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 So the box is already built? Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

412 CVX Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Not to be a dick, but you probably should've been asking this before you cut out the pieces.

Yeah...at this point I'm probably going to have to go back to the drawing board. So if I were to start over what should my dimensions look like? I heard from audioque that the 12" does well in a 2.2 cubic foot box, but I also heard from people that have it that it does well in a 3 cubic foot box. So I'm basically lost overall. Still really new to all this car audio stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412 CVX Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 kinda depends on how much power you're giving it. Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs.
