severancej Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 So winter is setting in and I have noticed how much quieter the bass is when the truck is all sealed up. Can I solve this by building a new enclosure? Or do I need more motor force and power? Im saying, windows down..acoustics ftw, it slams pretty damn hard for 500w amp. I'm really impressed with it. But windows up its sad, like the extension and fullness just isn't there. Any ideas? 98' dodge ram 140A alt Big 3 XS D2700 JVC kd-r310 Rockford T500-1BDCP 2 Sundown E12 Ported 4cubes 35hz Rockford P400-4 2 Infinity reference 3way 6x9 2 Polk DB 5 1/4 2x layer dynamat all doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

severancej Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Ok so here is a suggestion subs up/port side: Enclosure Specifications: Fb = 34.5 Hz Vb = 4 ft^3 External Height = 19 in External Width = 40 in External Depth = 15 in Port Width = 13 1/2 in Port Height = 4 in Cut Sheet List: * All Dimensions in Inches. * Wood Thickness is 3/4 for all Parts. External Enclosure Parts: 2 x Top & Bottom (3 parts) = 40 x 15 Left & Right Sides = Side 1 = 12 3/4 x 13 1/2 Side 2 = 16 3/4 x 13 1/2 Front & Back = 40 x 16 3/4 L Port Internal Assembly Parts: 21 3/4 x 13 1/2 Assembly guide (generic dimensions): 4" of clearance in front of the port. Any changes, comments or questions let me know. Heres my box, and I'm willing to try new seen before new equipment because the time isn't right to spend on new woofers and amps yet. 98' dodge ram 140A alt Big 3 XS D2700 JVC kd-r310 Rockford T500-1BDCP 2 Sundown E12 Ported 4cubes 35hz Rockford P400-4 2 Infinity reference 3way 6x9 2 Polk DB 5 1/4 2x layer dynamat all doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

severancej Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 ^ indeed, although I have an idea. I might seal the port for fun, doubt it will gain any tbh. Or windows down heat on high lol 98' dodge ram 140A alt Big 3 XS D2700 JVC kd-r310 Rockford T500-1BDCP 2 Sundown E12 Ported 4cubes 35hz Rockford P400-4 2 Infinity reference 3way 6x9 2 Polk DB 5 1/4 2x layer dynamat all doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanSierra Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 You really should have gone subs up and port up in that truck. I'm not saying night and day louder, but I'll bet you'll notice a difference. If not now, you'll notice with higher power subs and amp. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
