skar ivx-15v1 enclosure design


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I'm looking to help my friend on a budget build. He heard my 2 E12s on my Rockford T500 and was impressed by it so much i guess it inspired him lol. The enclosure design was joex's, huge thanks again to him, it works well and was super simple to assemble. That's what I'm looking for is an easy to build design that works.

Ok so he has a 97 Jeep grand cherokee. 90Amp alternator, I did the big 3 for him in some 4 gauge stinger pro i had laying around, and he had already bought a Rockford amp kit 4 gauge also...pretty nice wire.

Ok the max dims are 36" wide, 36"deep and 30"tall, this leaves plenty space for the port to breath either up our back..

The subwoofer is a skar audio ivx15 V1. Its a d2 coil. Here's spec off woofersetc.com I've heard specs may be incorrect with skar audio stuff over on ssa forums but i honestly don't know, anyway...

Fms : 24.6 Hz Res : 66.0 Ohms Re : 3.8 Ohms Qms : 4.67 Qes : 0.51 Qts : 0.46 Rms : 7.1 Kg/s Cms : 0.19 mm/NM ms : 215.9 grN ref : 0.53% Bl : 15.8 N/a SPL : 89.2 dB VAS : 186.9 L Rp : 30.9 Ohms Lp : 50.2 mH Cp : 1064.3 uF Le : 1.72 mH RMS: 300 watts

Enclosure Suggestions:2.5 sealed with heavy poly-fill stuffing (F3 around 40 Hz)3.5 vented @ 35 Hz (F3 around 32 Hz)

The amplifier..best i could find for him opinions welcome. Audio technix at400.1d, we going to set it at one ohm and hopefully Torres might be able to tune it for us.. Thanks to Torres for tuning my amps last year!

Thanks guys lmk if i missed something.

Bumpage @ 33hz

Edit. Idk if sub up port back is better than sub and port back on a low power build like this.

Don't really matter to us it should be great either way, not chasing numbers

I have the same sub, running on 500 watts. I have flawed box so it could sound better. I would say build the box to be around 3.5cu if your going to be doing that kind of power. also if you want to tune to 33hz, go somewhere around 13-14sqin of port pet foot.

That's most likely the owner, who is no designer at all, when I told him that I wanted to hit the lows with my setup, told me to build a 2.5cuft box, can't hit the lows at all.
