KickerAudio21 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 if anything email scott or nick at ficaruadio.com, im guessing they'd have the best answergood box design tho, thro in some all thread or 2x4's and it'll be sweet I will use adequate bracing, idk if i'll use wood or a couple of threaded rods.... One question I had is: to avoid using speaker wire terminals, I've seen a lot of ppl on here using like a long nut and some bolts that goes through the wood??? Where do you get those things, and are they as conductive as using a terminal?

Where do you get those things, and are they as conductive as using a terminal? its nothing more than bolts and nuts bro, its all conductive it should be the best connection next to running the wires thru the box and sealing around em, thats what i did get them at any hardware store, ie lowes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickerAudio21 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I think i'm just stupid, but fi recommends 12-16 inch ^2 of port for each cubic foot of volume. Accordman or someone said to do 6.3 cubes and 90 sq. inch of port. WTF i'm in a 3 dimensional world, what does 90 in^2 mean?!?!? i tried doing 90 cubic inches of port but the port is frickin small, and doesn not make sense. So is there supposed to be a thrid dimension to the 90 in^2??? or do they mean to actually square the 90 inches (which is different than 90 in ^2)........ someone please help Quote ------------------------------------------------- 1st place circuit city car/spl show (maplewood,MN) 2006 146.6 dB's with 2 12" L7 and 1606d brutus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 90 square inches ie: length x width and it is 12-16 square inches of port per cubic foot so... 6.3cuft w/90sqin is 14.28sqin per cubic foot again try emailing scott or nick because they will tell you whats best for ur setup specifically splexplorer might have some suggestions, he had 1 18q w/bp in 8.8cuft before he got 2 18q on 3000w 5 cubes per woofer @33Hz so there is a wide range of options for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickerAudio21 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 so if my box was 1ftx1ftx1ft the port woudl be 14.28 sq. feet x 12" high???? in addition to the 1 cubic foot volume??? length x width is a 1st order dimension..... doesn't do me too much good when i'm in a second order world (3 dimensional). i'm still troubled. I sent scott an email about 2 weeks ago asking when my sub was gonna be shipped, and he still hasn't answered,. The only response i get is [email protected] - and i need to start box construction tomorrow.
