soBASED Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 So I'm still wondering what type of box I should build for my X-15. I currently have a 3.45ft^3 tuned to 28hz via 6" aero port.. I want to get more output of the sub (I know I can) while retaining SQ. This is for a musical setup. I mainly listen to decaf, rap, pop and rock. I'd like to be able to move some more air also My choices: 4.2ft^3ish tuned to 28hz with a big L port. OR a 6th order with like 3.8ft^3 tuned to 28hz and second chamber 1.5ft^3 tuned to 70ish.What do you guys think?EDIT:Forgot to mention that its being ran off of a CT Sounds AT1400.1 Car:- 2013 Honda Accord Sport 6MT - aFe SRI Electrical: - Big 3 w/ Execution Audio 0/1 AWG OFC- Stock Battery Audio: - JBL Power Series 6.5 Comps up front (Running off HU power atm) - JBL Power Series 2-Ways in the rear deck (Running off HU power atm) Subwoofer: - Sundown Audio X-15 - CT Sounds AT1400.1D (@1 ohm) Bedroom: - Yamaha RX-V365 - Pair of Klipsch KG4.2's - 2 E8v3's in a 1.34ft^3 tuned to 30hz - No Amp yet.. - CoolMax ZU900B PSU for amp In my room & previous car:- Amp: Soundstream TX1.1300D @ 4 ohms (520 watts)- T-Line Enclosure tuned to 32hzYouTube : http://www.youtube.c...r8?feature=mhee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrd6 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Without knowing the type of car or space limitations I would do 4 cubic feet tuned to ~ 33 via 2 6" aeros. As much as I like the bandpass's I've built, In my opinion this is the time for a well built ported box, no need to go the bandpass direction.

And my bad for not specifying the car. Its going into the trunk of my 2013 Accord Sedan Sport!I got 30"~ of depth and 29" width and 17.5" height. I don't need a box design but I'm trying to figure out what's a good NET volume for this sub. It takes my CT 1400.1 easily too.. I'd also like to have killer lows too.

Joe X Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Keep in mind that port area, sealing off, even electrical etc play a role not just net volume, also tuning too low is not going to help loudness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soBASED Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I see.. I'm on stock battery lol.. Going to be getting a D1200 up front and a xp2000 in back when I actually start redoing my setup. I plan on sealing off eventually. And I'm trying to get louder on lows rather.. It plays 40-50 fairly loud, well loud enough for me at least. I'll be shooting for a GOOD amount of port area too. I'm going to eventually get a 80PRS and fit it in my pocket under the factory radio, so that would help everything sound much cleaner too.

soBASED Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 More port Idd do 15x5 And tune it a bit higher like 30hz Okay, I'll see what others say and then choose. I'm not in a rush to build the box cause I have to get some other stuff to the car done. I appreciate the input!

thefourth Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'd tune a little higher than 28. But that's me. Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.
