Derrick824 Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 Could anyone help me with some box recommendations for a pair of Team RF 12s? I spoke with a RF tech and he said to use 20cu ft w/ 170sq in of port for the pair. Currently I'm running a 12-13cu ft box with 130sq in of port. The ports are interchangeable to adjust the tuning. Thanks for any help. Quote
Derrick824 Posted November 11, 2006 Author Report Posted November 11, 2006 Yeah, that's what I said. I'm hoping someone else can give me a more reasonable recommendation. Quote
emperorjj1 Posted November 12, 2006 Report Posted November 12, 2006 ya rf recommends alot of space to those woofers.... anyway a respected memeber of the rf forum said they work in 45L also if you look at the boxes meade made a while back they werent big at all.... hoep he can come clarify :^ Quote J.

1LoudScort00 Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 I don't know.. from what i've some guys i know don't really go by sub specs, they just go by what ever is loudist in there car for spl Quote mmmmm.. bass.RD Audio
Derrick824 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Posted November 17, 2006 The best its done so far is 144.4 @ 35hz. Thats a 12cu. ft. box w/ 130sq. in. of port. I feel it should do better at higher frequencies, but I've tuned the box anywhere from 32-54hz and it does better numbers tuned low than it does in the 45-50hz range. Should I try a bigger or smaller box? What about keeping the same box but trying more or less port area? I'm hoping someone with more experience than me can point me in the right direction rather than having to build so many different ports & boxes trying to get it perfect. Also, these are being powered by 4 Hifonics Brutus bx2005d amps and its all in an '01 Excursion. I guess 144.4 @ 35hz isn't too bad for 2 12s in an Excursion huh? Quote
garyw Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 maybe you should give those subs to a good friend with a 97 f150 and start all over :^ Quote
emperorjj1 Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 ooo they should be doing much better... try making a smaller box. sorta like meads Quote J.

Derrick824 Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Posted November 18, 2006 maybe you should give those subs to a good friend with a 97 f150 and start all over :^ The box won't fit in your truck. The next step is to try them out in my smaller 4.5cu. ft. box and see what happens in the higher frequencies. Quote
