srool Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hello ! I'm about to build a box for Mazda 3 5 doors (hatchback). The equipment is: single 15" Level 4 with XL soft parts Celestra DA2K (2100RMS) My question is: What is the best locations for the subwoofer and port? would it be better putting them on different sides, like sub upward and port firing to the rear door or the opposite maybe ?

srool Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 OK, I did some planning and I got a bout 3.25 net (not included sub, port and bracing) tuned to 32 with about 16.5-16.6 sq in of port area for each cubic feet. How is that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srool Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Did both upwars due to the owner's demand. What do you think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTxBeeR Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 What do you want out of this sub? Tuned that low with that much port, I don't think you will be able to hit 31hz Quote On 11/20/2012 at 8:54 PM, AMI CUSTOMS said: Turned mine up today at a light, guy next to me his steering wheel started moving and he looked over at me like I was a magician lol.

alaskanzx5 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I've always been told sub up port back is a good general rule of thumb. If you do go port back you have to make sure you have enough room for the port to breath can make it harder with a bigger box.

At minimum must be the port's width from the the hatch. yep, my last box had the sub and port facing the same side. had it facing the rear with only about 2" of space with the port being about 4" wide did a 144 turned the box and faced it up did a 146. audio control meter so what ever design you pick make sure you will have enough room for that port to breath and if you chose to have the port and sub on the same side have it meterd facing every possible direction.
