Box/Port help for Zv3 18


Recommended Posts

Im going with the usual sub up & port back to driver side, blazer setup. i have 1 zv3 18 on 3500rms. The box size im going with is 5.58 cubes gross im going to tune at 39hz for my music taste. And im using aeros.

Im curious about the amount of port needed for the sub and enclosure. The box will be for daily driver but want it to put up good numbers on TL. The org (FCBC) i compete in is on music average in the kick, dash, and seat.

Im not sure about the port size i would need. I have 2 6's & 1 8" aeroports just laying around and can be used. I can custom build a 10" port.

what would be a good amount port for this enclosure? As in total square inches of port, or how many square inches of port per cube i should looking at. Im really needing help ASAP, for i have a comp coming up soon and i would like to try and have it done if i can.

So HELP ASAP.... lol

Thanks in Advance for any help.....

I 8" port when I had my zv3 18 was good, it was a hair small but it was great for daily

My original plan was to use a 8" aero, but again i want it to produce good(as i can get it to) TL numbers for when i compete in this org. thats why i was wondering if i needed more then a single 8".

an 8" port will allow it to have more bandwith but it wont be as peaky. if you want TL then go bigger, but the 8 was good for daily

Hell the only way to go bigger is going to be making a custom 10" aero. Because2 6"s which is only 6 more total square inches then 1 8". lol so that would pretty much be pointless.

well if I remember the zv3 18 needs a 4cube net box, so 15" of port per cube is 60" an 8" port is a hair over 50".

true, but the box im doing is going to be 5.58 cubes so wouldnt i multiply by 5.58 to get the amount of sq inches?

how do you know your box is going to be 5.58 if you don't know what your port displacement is yet?
