Brandonbkd Posted August 12, 2013 Report Posted August 12, 2013 So someone designed me a box a while back and it looked like it was gonna work out good. Well after a few weeks of listening to it, I could clearly tell I could'nt play lows to save my life. Well it turns out the port area is wayyyy too freaking big (17.33 sq in per cube) so I've been bottoming my sub out like crazy. I've got a BL 18 running on a SQ 2200 at 0.7 ohm putting out roughly 2200w. I need the box to be 20 x 41 x 23.125 (H x W x D) as I am going to reuse the baffle from the old box. This is the old box and I'd like it to be exactly like this. Sub up/port back as it is going in my explorer sport.

SnowDrifter Posted August 13, 2013 Report Posted August 13, 2013 No lows and its tuned to 32? Wtf? What frequency are you bottoming out at? ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
Brandonbkd Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Posted August 14, 2013 Probably right at 29 or 30...would changing the port to about 5in wide and shortening it a little make it better?

SnowDrifter Posted August 14, 2013 Report Posted August 14, 2013 It would cut down on your port area, but would also make your box bigger. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444

SnowDrifter Posted August 14, 2013 Report Posted August 14, 2013 Contact Ram Designs or BHE or something on FB. Avoid ground pounder customs though. I'd give you a box but I don't do designs for people. Liability for me. What if I give you a box and something's not right? Bust your sub? Box can't handle the power or is too small and the sub doesn't cool? Etc. Boxes are pretty easy though. Download Torres and play around. I've had some boxes that sound better than others, but none have been a complete flop so far ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
Brandonbkd Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Posted August 14, 2013 Yea I understand where you're coming from. I've got Torres and have been playing around on the for a bit. I'll post up some ideas before I make any final decisions FI BL18 Build Log: CLICK HERE!! 2003 Explorer Sport: FI BL18 SoundQubed 2200 at 0.7ohm Pioneer DEH-2500UI Pioneer 6 x 8s Rockford Fosgate 6 x 9s 5 ft^3 box at 35hz Lots of Mega Mat
SnowDrifter Posted August 14, 2013 Report Posted August 14, 2013 Yeah man sounds good. Once you do 2 or 3 boxes you start to get a gut feel of where things should be ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
