dee242 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 hey guy incase you did not know i am a complete noob at this stuff but i have a pair of kicker comp vr 12in inside a sealed enclosure with no baffels but when i turn it up allot the bass seems to lose clarity now i know you will lose a bit of clarity with a port but i am willing to sacrifice that so here are the diamentions of my box and excuse my drawing Uploaded with ImageShack.us
OrionStang Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 No. You can't just put holes in your current box. Build a new one. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
dee242 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Posted January 5, 2013 No. You can't just put holes in your current box. Build a new one. why cant i is ther some type of con in doing so
OrionStang Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 First off, a ported box requires more volume than a sealed box, so it ill be bigger. The ports have to be a certain size and length to create proper tuning. These are all dependent on the subs used. Do some reading in the subwoofer/enclosure section here.

AI James Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 you dont "lose" clarity going to a ported box.
dee242 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Posted January 5, 2013 ok then what would be the average volume of a ported box and why would it have to be bigger i have seen boxes smaller than mine with ports
AI James Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 because you have seen somethign it doesnt mean its right. i see hogpog boxes every day IRL and on the forums and just laugh it off. Read about your particular subs and what they want as far as volume and tuning then read about what people are doing with them in REAL LIFE volume and tuning scenarios. READ READ and READ some more. Its not just a cut and dry answer on a RULE for 1 size fits all.
dee242 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Posted January 5, 2013 while your statement may be true kicker makes a ported box for the same model subs i have just newer and while i realise manufacture boxes may not be the best but they do make it and i bought my subs used to learn more could you point me in the right direction http://www.ebay.com/itm/KICKER-12-COMP-VR-CVR-DUAL-SUBWOOFER-ENCLOSURE-BOX-DCVR12-CompVR-subs-box-/160812629487?hash=item25712dfdef&item=160812629487&pt=Car_Audio_Video&vxp=mtr
dee242 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Posted January 5, 2013 okay i found some info about my subs http://www.kicker.com/sites/default/files/CompVRTechManual.pdf
Trey_Dog650 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 Why are you arguing when asking for help? Manufactures tend to tune there boxes higher and are usually smaller so that noobs don't blow them. Look in the sub/box section and download Torres 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.
