dereileak Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Ok, so I have 2 kicker cvx 15's that I will replace with 2 dc level 4 15's in the near future, a few months or so. Anyways, I want to design the box around the dc's, and was wondering if this box I made would be perfect, they recommend 3.25 cubic ft per sub, but is going higher then that better, like to 4-5 cubic ft per sub, or do they work best in what dc recommended? here is the box I designed, I may invert the subs and get add .42 cubic ft to the box, so it would be around 6.9 cubes I am going to adjust the port volume to a bit higher, otherwise is this box perfect for those dc's? I have limited space to work with here so, thanks for your help Edited December 22, 2012 by dereileak Quote 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback Black 5 Spd ManualPioneer 4300DVD2 Sundown SA-12 (34hz Tune, 3.22 cubes, 14.5 inches per cube, Triple Baffle)Kicker 10ZX2500.1 (2845 RMS) Sub AmpKicker 11ZX650.4 (705 RMS) Mid Amp -- (3 Amps)Kicker KQ3 Active CrossoverKicker KQ30 EqualizerKicker 09QS60.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones)Kicker 09QS65.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones) - (3 Sets)2/0 Gauge Electron Beam Technologies (3 Runs, 2 +, 1 -) 1/0 Gauge KNU Kollasal Flex (1 Run for -) 300 Ft Kicker X-Series 16 Gauge Speaker WireXS Power D3400 (Rear)XS Power D3100 (Front)Singer Externally Regulated Alternator (Being Built)+ The Love for Car Audio and BASS <3UBL Build Log <------- Click Here-------> Normal Build Log (For Comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dereileak Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) ok designed a new box with great specs, let me know what you think, I have to measure to make sure the port depth will fit in the hatch, if its too deep I will make the port like 4-3.5 inches deep and widen the port to 24 inches or so I was recommeded by cj18 to do 30 hz tuning, 14 sq inches per cubic ft, and 3.5 cubic ft per sub, for 7 cubic ft total, here is what I made Edited December 23, 2012 by dereileak Quote 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback Black 5 Spd ManualPioneer 4300DVD2 Sundown SA-12 (34hz Tune, 3.22 cubes, 14.5 inches per cube, Triple Baffle)Kicker 10ZX2500.1 (2845 RMS) Sub AmpKicker 11ZX650.4 (705 RMS) Mid Amp -- (3 Amps)Kicker KQ3 Active CrossoverKicker KQ30 EqualizerKicker 09QS60.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones)Kicker 09QS65.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones) - (3 Sets)2/0 Gauge Electron Beam Technologies (3 Runs, 2 +, 1 -) 1/0 Gauge KNU Kollasal Flex (1 Run for -) 300 Ft Kicker X-Series 16 Gauge Speaker WireXS Power D3400 (Rear)XS Power D3100 (Front)Singer Externally Regulated Alternator (Being Built)+ The Love for Car Audio and BASS <3UBL Build Log <------- Click Here-------> Normal Build Log (For Comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladski462 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 DC recommends things for a reason, just do it. Bigger box = less power handling. Quote 08' Grand Cherokee (2) DC Lvl 4 12's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyBoy95 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 i used 2 level 4 15s, put them in recommended and you will be fine and be able to feed them more than rated power. i would put them in 6-7 cubes, tuned around 32-35hz.
