Pr0jeCt Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Hey everyone. Long time reader, first time poster. I have always found my answer with enough reading, however box design is something i can not seem to grasp. If anyone would have a few minutes to design a box for me it would be greatly appreciated. The box im running now is beyond junk..Vehicle : Chevy BlazerLocation in the vehicle: Rear / Cargo AreaSpace available (Depth x Width x Height):Depth is 33In, Width is 40In, Height at 12inches I can keep it hidden under the cargo cover (preferred). But 17inches max. Subwoofer make and model: Kicker L7 Subwoofer Size: 12 InchNumber of Subwoofers: SingleType of Port (Kerfed, Slot, Aero, etc.):Slot PortWhat type of music do you like?: Mostly RapIs your goal SPL or Everyday Music?: Both I suppose. Looking for that balance of LOUD and LOWTuning Freq (Hz): 35Hz is that balance as far as I have read...Volume : Whatever is necessary for optimal result. Space available is the maximum space i could give up in the cargo area. I would like the box as small as possible (while staying within Volume spec / Hz Tuning) to retain some room for cargo. Also I have noticed on some box requests the amp setup seems to be asked about. Pairing this with a kicker 750.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmets Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Not a pro at this but from what I get from torres you can do 14x37.5x17 port at 12.5x4x27. this will give you a tune of about 35.43, 50 square inches of port area and 16.23 port area per foot. Of course this is a rough guess here. You can download torres box calculator and mess around with it and can help you some more. I'm not sure what those speakers really like. Someone may have better experience with them though. If not download torres and have some fun. also sub facing back and port back with a total of about 3.08 cubit feet after displacement. Close to it anyways. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/177477-slowboring-07-trailblazer-build/Pioneer DEH-80PRSPRV 8MR400-NDY (eight) PRV TW350Ti (6)Sky High 1/0 OFC, 12 gauge and 8 gaugeTM Metalworkz battery terminals 120 sqft HushmatXS Power D3100 (6)Singer 350 Amp Alt Singer 320 (2)American Bass SQL3200 JL Audio JX360/4 Crossfire XS 8K (2) DC Audio XL 15s (6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom50cal Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Nothing to add concerning the box, but that is a great amp, I love mine and don't really want to get rid of it when I do. Just make sure you feed it good power. Stock alt with big 3, and a beefy run of 4 gauge to it should keep it just fine and dandy. Did for me at least. Also, keep a good ground and ditch the kicker bass knob. PAC LC-1 ftw Also, keep an eye on the voltage of that amp at the amp itself. I ran it at .35 ohms nominal for about an hour at a time every once in a while to demo for people, keeping voltage above 12.5, and it didn't warm up too bad. Nope, it never protected either. Killer little amp, sure it does well over rated. On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

Pr0jeCt Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Yeah im messing with torres a bit. thanks for the guidelines to start with. Hoping someone comes along with an image layout to further help me out. And to the second reply, love the 750.1 I have owned many over the years, and I definitely dont use the stock "bass boost" knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a minute but i started the build yesterday and finished it today. Thank you very much Joe X, my 3 mile trip from my friends house to home has resulted in a massive bass induced headache. Box design worked out perfectly for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pr0jeCt Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 first build, with a jigsaw. I clarify that because of that one issue in the top right corner. Even on this old backup amp (300w.1@2ohm) it gets damn loud. shopping a new amp soon, any opinions on a good / decently priced 600w mono block? http://i.imgur.com/kaXspOw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfboy Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Nice, bro! Personal, in my humble opinion, I like to have same brand name as amp and sub. Maybe I'm OCD about that but I like both amp and sub to have same brand name. That's just me. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom50cal Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 AQ750.1. My buddy has one on a IA Death Row 12 in his regular cab. Killer amp for the price. Or I'll sell you my zx750 lol.
