AB XFL 15 box


walwalka

Recommended Posts

I'm purchasing a AB XFL 15 and I need to build a box for it. I'm looking to tune the bax to 32 hz and fit in the trunk of a honda civic. I need help with the box plans.

My trunk opening is:

18in tall by 35in wide

Once in the trunk there is:

19in tall

36in wide Between the rails of the lid. But the rails don't stick down that far.

30in deep(a little more, but this is safe.)

I would like the sub and the port to face the same direction, as I plan to fire it into the cable and seal it off.

There is the trunk for reference:

Thanks guys!

So here is a suggestion based on the power amp on your sig:

Enclosure Specifications:

Fb = 32 Hz
Vb = 3.8 ft^3

External Height = 16.5 in
External Width = 34 in
External Depth = 20.375 in

Port Width = 3 3/4 in

Cut Sheet List:

* All Dimensions in Inches.
* Wood Thickness is 3/4 for all Parts.

External Enclosure Parts:

2 x Front & Back (3 parts) = 34 x 16 1/2

Left & Right Sides = 18 1/8 x 15

Top & Bottom = 34 x 18 1/8

L Port Internal Assembly Parts:

Front to Back = 14 3/8 x 15
Extension = 10 5/8 x 15

Assembly guide (generic dimensions):

Important notes:

- The 45s if you want to do them are 2 1/2" wide except the one/ones inside the port, if you want that let me know.

- All boxes built outside the vehicle need to fit in their way in not just have the right dimensions.

- The port needs 3 1/2" of free airspace in front of it for proper operation.

- Setting your amp subsonic filter to 28Hz is suggested.

Much appreciated! Thank you!

However... It's just not gonna fit in that config, unless I build it in the trunk. I'd like to be able to remove it if need be. Being 18 in tall just didn't give it enough room to slide in. I built a template out of cardboard..

I'm open to suggestion now, is there a different box config that would allow me to be able to slide it in?

If I decided that I wanted to build it in the trunk, What's the best way to go about that?

Thanks again guys!

In the end if I can't get the config I want I may have to decide on two 12's..

Awesome! Thanks again!

I built myself another cardboard template, we will see here shortly if it will fit.

I still wish you luck cause that's going to be a big heavy pig to get in and out , hehe.

Haha.. I know...... I won't take it out often, but I want to be able to take it out say I'm getting a new car or something a long those lines. I just don't want to be stuck with having to break the box to get it out.
