I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin - STAPUFT Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Check this build out .. He stuffed this into a honda!!! http://www.stevemead...dc-10s-updated/ ^ YEP! That is how it is done, especially when space is at a premium. Its gonna be a challenge for me lol. I just dont know how to tune it myself Clamshells are a bit of Voodoo when it comes to tuning. What I found with my clamshell wall is that they tune lower than you would think. The angle of the subs and the way they play off of each other helps them with loading. The enclosure on a proper clamshell doesn't have to be as large as a normal ported box either. And the port on mine is much shorter than it "should" be if it were a ported box. It is only 4" long- and tunes on paper or by program much higher than it actually is. I believe that the mouth of the clamshell actually behaves as a variable tuned port depending on frequency. It is pretty cool stuff but sad to say, you won't know until you take the chance and build it. You can check out my build as well for what I came up with, but it is pretty much what I just told you ^ right there. I know wood and time aren't cheap, but they are fun enclosures- and hey, you can build it ported and if it is tuned too high, just seal off the port. Clamshell Enclosures have a great wow factor and are great for daily and demo setups. Best of luck and have fun! 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.
