I plan on a BFW of 1 inch plexi to show the isobaric sexy workin. thanks for the link snow. <img src=http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/w610/beastly666bassboy/IMG_9611192581855_zps9b9b76be.jpg border=0 alt= height="75" width="800"> Growing old is necessary... growing up is an option!

SnowDrifter Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yeah man sure thing! Also read: "Installing 45´s on non pressure points of the box: 0.4 dbs" I interpret that as: Don't go nuts and do 45s just for the sake of 45s. Use them as needed, but don't go overboard. Another thing to consider: he was using a burp box. If you install 45s into a box that is already tuned to your vehicle, you will change the net volume and tuning. Depending on your setup, this may become a gain or a loss. In his case, it was a loss. I've seen other people lose from them too. But on the flipside, I've personally gained with them and seen others gain too. Seriously though: If you plan your box for them and account for the volume they eat up, I don't think you'll see a difference in score/sound either way. ~~~~~~~~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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for the sake of craftman ship and design and the learning in thw process I'm going to put two 5 inch 45s in this box one per set of ports and just brace the rest of the seams for regidity. I have the triangle area equation and will be figuring that tonight and add that to my net volume to consider the space consumed. also taking the bracing into account I also have to figure the port areas to add in there too. on top of the net volumes needed. I want this thing to work so I'll do the math twice hahah. <img src=http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/w610/beastly666bassboy/IMG_9611192581855_zps9b9b76be.jpg border=0 alt= height="75" width="800"> Growing old is necessary... growing up is an option!

RidingTooLow Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 How could 45s NOT equal better air flow? The box I am running currently has a 45 in every corner, everything is rounded inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fecupe2001 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 45s suck ass bro, i mean, even if they help you out on your application, you aint gonna hear a difference, i wouldnt waste my time on them, on a wall they can surely help you out way more, but on a small daily box for a single sub? you are wasting your time!! If you really want to use them, then i guess the 4" pvc like i tested is just fine, good luck!! I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.
