rambo.93 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 hey guys, i was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on designing a ported box. i recently picked up two 10 inch rockford P3s. they are the second model that was 400 watts rms with 800 peak. this is just a fun little project for me so don't hate on the subs too much. but yea, any help with designing a ported box for them would be awesome. i drive a mazda 626 so standard trunk space i suppose. thanks!

Raptorman Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Well, download Torres first. Plug your max dimensions of the space you will be putting the box in, the sub displacements, and possible bracing displacements in. And fiddle with it until you got it figured out. You'll want to shoot for a 32-36hz tuning for a daily music box. The Common port wall will be "3" for a standard L-shaped port. Edit: make sure each sub gets it's recommended box volume size, basically in your situation you will look at the NET VOLUME and just divide by two and that is the box volume that each sub will see. They're recommended ported size is 1.4 cubes each. So your net volume should be around 2.8 1996 GMC Sonoma Four Fi BTL Neo 18's In 2:1 6th Order Bandpass 2 Ampere 5k's @ .5 TEAM FI TEAM #LITHIUMCANTDEMO On 10/20/2013 at 0:37 AM, KillaCam said: Fucking with a Prius driver is like making fun of a disabled kid.

Kranny Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 people who recommend the Torres box building program, dont realize how complicated it looks to a first time user. there are like 20 boxes for you to put numbers into. OP, read the instruction manual and browse the torres thread for help. it seems confusing as fuck at first, but once you get the hang of it its actually pretty easy. thread is in the enclosure section of the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's easy to get the hang of. 1996 GMC Sonoma Four Fi BTL Neo 18's In 2:1 6th Order Bandpass 2 Ampere 5k's @ .5 TEAM FI TEAM #LITHIUMCANTDEMO On 10/20/2013 at 0:37 AM, KillaCam said: Fucking with a Prius driver is like making fun of a disabled kid.

Raptorman Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Both opening and trunk measurements, the biggest you can possibly fit. I can fit something like 36 inches wide in my trunk but limited to 30 inches in the opening so remember that. 1996 GMC Sonoma Four Fi BTL Neo 18's In 2:1 6th Order Bandpass 2 Ampere 5k's @ .5 TEAM FI TEAM #LITHIUMCANTDEMO On 10/20/2013 at 0:37 AM, KillaCam said: Fucking with a Prius driver is like making fun of a disabled kid.

rambo.93 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 There is my old set up. i dont have the measurements for that box, but the biggest box that i could put in there at about the same place is: 37 inches wide, 27 inches deep, and 14 inches tall. that would use probably the most area...i could make it taller but it couldnt go as deep.
