Daniel Shepard Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Ok second design. Now this one took some thought. I hated how my seat had to be moved forward so that the excursion of the subs wouldnt come into contact with it. So I opted for a down fire box with a external, tunable port. This one is also 1 cube net and currently tuned to 32. Its currently in my truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Shepard Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I also got a bit bored and wanted to see how loud I could get one sub. This box is .55 net at 34 hrz. Definitely gets low, but that's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Shepard Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Ok so here is my problem. No matter how I tune these ports, its a low end monster. Sure, it will shake the hell out of the truck like a pair of 15s, but it doesn't get loud, or sound good on anything other then "rack city" type songs. I have tried shorting the ports with no success. I would like to listen to all kinds of music and it sound good and get loud. Why is it doing this? I'm also playing around with a single sa8 in a 4th order design for the ranger. But I know that will not help with sq! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afrakes Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 A 4th order has more sq than a ported box. And since u have the material to play with see if a sealed box works better for what u want. If u don't like it, then don't use it. I bet it will sound better than it does now tho.

Because my port is currently firing at the driver b pillar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Shepard Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 More port area? Will that make a difference? My first box with the port firing forward on the passenger side had 20.125 sqin on a 1 cube box. sounded the exact same as my current box with a 4" round port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
