Level 5 M1's SPL box help


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, im moving from streetbass and ground pounding over to DB Drag next year and im after some guidence on a box. want a SSnw box

im using 2x Level 5 M1 18's (dual 1.4's) and 1 Sundown SAZ 2500d (will use a pair of them for competition)

now im putting this into a van, so not really short on space.

my plan is to start big with the box, and shrink it to suit.

my questions are, what sort of size box's have people used with this sort of "low power" im going to be using? and how much port area?

i dont want loads of people saying dont bother, not enough power etc, its for fun, to keep me amused to see how loud i can get with the equipment i have. i only want to run one amp daily as its a daily drive and power supply is crap, but i dont mind going into low voltage for testing.

Just so you guys know, this equipment has come out of my streetbass car, with 14v xs batteries, and with this equipment i had a 157.6 at 33Hz, so i have the potential to get loud ;)

Thanks for any help

I'd go with separate chamber 6ft3 boxes. Mine liked 5 4" psp ports tuned to 36hz. You could go more port area if you wanted, but the 5 psp port setup was really easy to mess with tuning, etc.

There's a guy who posts in here occasionally in ssnw with 2 m1 lvl5 18s doing 60's in an astro he's posted pics before badass little box

I think it's "theolddude"

I would talk to him for info, I would NOT want to be in the same class as that loud mothafucka

His is huge drivers side port looks like 20x20" ish and if I had to guess 5 cubes per 18 shared common space and that classic spl curve near the port to help subs from fighting eachother
