Captain Stupid Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Man, I had just one sub installed in my box for a week and other than the cone over-extending more than it should have all loosely-goosey, it worked just fine and still sounded pretty good. I don't think 16cubic feet net is too big. RE recommends 8 cu ft as optimal. The issue is something else. 2006 Cadillac Escalade 2/3 drop on 28" wheels Two RE SX 18" subs RF T2500-1bdCP amp, 3531watts on birthsheet Custom carbon fiber sub box EVERYTHING else is stock, for now 149.4 @ 37hz, Termlab, dash, open window on two AQ3 18s all stock electrical, wired to .25 ohm on a RF T2500 148.8 @ 36hz, Termlab, dash, open window on one AQ3 18 all stock electrical, wired to .5 ohm on a RF T2500 147.8 @ 38hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on two RE SX 18s 146.4 @ 36hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on one RE SX 18 Link to my hack-built, stupid, carbon fiber wasting project.... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/149946-carbon-fiber-box-update-1494db-37hz-on-tl/ http://gifsoup.com/NDM3MTc1MQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n8ball2013 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 your port should be at least the same distance from the back wall as the width of your port.

TeamHirshAudio Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 what are your port dimensions 36 x 5 x 14.5 with a 16.03 cubic foot volume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 ok your port would need to end at least 14.5 inches from any wall. I also despise port on top. hate it hate it hate it. wait is it 36wx5hx14.5d? If so you would need to end 5 inches from any wall. that makes it more bearable. I dont like the ratio much it falls within the desired ratio but it doesnt sit well with me.
