James365 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I have just recently received my new sa8 v2 but I'm stumped on how to build my box.. I have built t-line boxes before but i'm kinda hurting for space now... I have a bmw 328 i which i'm trying to seal off from the trunk but aim through the ski hole but not make it obviouse if that makes sense... and i have a baby on the way, so i'm wanting to build a box that will out perform anything that i've had but yet still need space for a stroller (groceries i can load in the back seat) lol I usually only deal with JLaudio, i had 2 JLW7 8''s but i had to sell them to pay for a heavy foot. :-/ soooo. after watching tons of video's on the SA's i figured i should venture out and try somthing new. can somebody please help me with a design or help with some suggestions .

raolito1980 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Make a ported until you find what's best for your application. You've made T-lines so this should be a piece of cake.

James365 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) well, i made a botched attempt at a box for my car.. but it was a huge flop.. lol i had great luck at boxes in an open cab, but now that i'm trying to build one for my "trunk application" i'm finding it more difficult. a royal Pain in my rear.. of course wife and daughter trying to help me along with the heat and all this great texas weather.... i'm trying to rid myself of any trunk rattle.. and since bmw did such a great job of sealing the trunk i'm trying to aim everything through the ski hole... the box sounds great when at low volumes but when turned up, its like it just cancelled itself out.. so i think i built it wayyyy to big.. lol... i built the box.. 13 x 9 x 36 sub and port right beside each other.. i have a picture but my computer is not working with me either...

TrevorDayne Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I have a question: Is there any problem with having the sub and port right beside each other? I was thinking of building my box this way so that the sub could be as far away from the entry of the port inside the box as possible, which would put the sub right beside the port exit from the box.

WhiteNastyCharger10 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 For 2 SA v2 8's I've had pretty good luck on a box about 1.85 cubic ft after all displacement.. Tuning being around 33 or so. So I would imagine half that for 1? I'm about to do 4 in a charger so I guess we'll see how that goes.
