Subwoofer Box Plans Wanted--TWO FI SSD 18s in 1999 4dr Tahoe

[barney91]

I love the color on that hoe, is it 2wd or 4x4?

And agree the box is to tall keep it at the seat level and why don't you do 49" wide? that's wheel well to wheel well

If the box can be done wider I would also recommend a reduced height, for example with 48W this could be done:

Enclosure Specifications:

Fb = 33 Hz

Vb = 14 ft^3

External Height = 21 in

External Width = 48 in

External Depth = 35 in

Port Width = 35 in

Port Height = 5 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) = 48 x 35

Left & Right Sides = 33 1/2 x 18 3/4

Front & Back = 48 x 18 3/4

L Port Internal Assembly Parts:

Front to Back = 16 3/4 x 36 1/2

Port Left Side Assembly:

16 3/4 x 5

Port Right Side Assembly:

16 3/4 x 5

Assembly guide (generic dimensions):

I can say listen to some of the people with your car here, between everyone there is a lot of trial and error and a lot of good advice from many tests that everyone has done

Joe X, thank you again. I like the latest box a lot. Wider and shorter is great! It should turn out fabulous. Just two more questions though--that MDF brace piece inside the port, any specific size that should be, as not to affect volume and tuning frequency? Also, the two dowel looking braces in the enclosure, any suggestions on what to use there? Could I use a couple of pieces of 1" round tube stock and weld up brackets top and bottom to mount them inside the enclosure? I know bracing isn't rocket science, but I do want to follow recommendations by the fine folks of this forum. Overkill>underkill IMO.

Thanks man! It's a 2wd.

I appreciate the help on here for sure. I just wanted to throw a little cash to the fella who took the time to do this for me, since I'm a total noob at designing boxes. Woodworking is what I do for a living though, so I am definitely excited to take this one on.

Glad you can do it wider, the brace inside the port won't significantly alter tuning (inaudible basically) but is very important as this panel tends to flex a lot unbraced, also is important that the braces to the baffle are mounted right above this brace, thicker wooden dowel rods can be used, everything needs to be firmly secured.

Well, after a few lunch breaks at work, all the MDF is cut and the main body is assembled! Tite-Bond wood glue and drywall screws are holding it together. Should be solid once it's done!! Joe X, thank you again for the plans. This thing is AWESOME. One of my coworkers came down and looked at it today. He said "I know! You're putting subwoofers in your home theater to rattle everything in the house, aren't you?" I said, "No, it's going in my truck." He just about passed out. LOL!!!!!

I need a Tahoe box design

[JohnMonger]

Will this box work for my 2 re mt 18s in my 95 Tahoe?..i always go 21 high and 48 wide.

[Joe X]

The MTs have custom t/s parameters, the box above may or may not work on your MTs and your application if you have parameters for your subs list them.
