why you don't buy prefab!

no I'll be coming damn close soon tho. don't Get me wrong i have respect for anyone who can do a 150 especially with a modded prefab. but burps aren't my thing. if i wanted to strap my next build and burp it yea i could prolly burp a 150 but I'm allot happier doing 140s on music

No worries, just wondering.

Its not easy. Yes I can burp a 150 (outlaw), but, I also do 140s on music. It is very do able.But you're definitely going to need power.

doing a 150 on music i would be impressed. doing 3 second burps on a high tune prefab. yea its cool but id pass. rather sound good on music. then be a one Note wonder.

149 on music in my car still sounds just as bad as 150@40hz.

If you could do 150db on music,you still cant enjoy it. Leaving you with nothing but bragging rights. Trust me,windows creaking,sunroof flapping,seats wobbling,doors flapping ect. It gets very very hard to enjoy music. Even after 1200$ of deadener and 200rms x 8 active components.

haha, there are some decent prefab out there. I've owned 2 that i actually liked. but this prefab with 1.1 cubes and no port... i don't think you can buy a worse one! i honestly think they were making a good box for a pair of 8s and someone punched in the 12inch code to make the cut outs and they just said screw it sell em anyway!

for real tho is there a term for a vented/ported enclosure with no tune?

I'm right there with you aj11, i would like a 150 but my new goal is a musical box and hopes of a 145-146. 2 15s in a 6-7cuft box tuned around 33-35hz on 3k with good electrical should get me there. Of course i plan on trying out 4+ different boxes to get what i want though.

there is no way a prefab could do that for me.

Suggestion... take it however you want

Instead of building boxes. Build one that fits the specs of your subs then mess around with interchangeable ports. Much cheaper.

it sucks cuz all this is paid for but i don't have it yet! killing me!

I'm debating on what kind of ohm config to get for the EXO. i think i wanna run 2ohm daily and do .5 for Comps or burps but part of me also just wants to run 1ohm daily.

not sure how long i couldrun at .5 tho

Cant just have "no tuning". Believe it or not you can even tune a sealed box.

haha its funny to me. your doing 2 15s in 6ft on 3k

I'll be doing 1 15 on 5k in 6ft

not funny like oh I'm better, not like that. its just i don't have the room for 2 15s so I'm putting everything i got into one sub! i may even Try 7ft.

i was thinking about interchange ports but since I'm putting much more then rated to my sub I'm doing a double chamber reflex box to control excursion at 2 different frequencies

it is cheaper, for each box I plan I'll be able to make slight changes to the ports as far as length/tuning goes. Reason for different boxes is different volumes ad port placement (up driver side, up middle, towards the driver side). 2 are slots 2 are round. 1 of the round port designs us actually going to be to manufacturer recommendation of 2.75cuft net per sub and 2 6" ports. Don't think I'll like that one but going to give it a try just because I can.
