Thoughts on Tunnel type wall enclosures???


Recommended Posts

Posted

What are your guys thoughts on tunnel type walls? Those who have had them or atleast heard them what do you think the pros/cons are?

I have several designs planned out for my car for years and the foremost design that I want to try is one of these tunnels in a diamond shape more than likely. I have a couple other tricks that Id like to try in my build that I dont think have been done before with these enclosures and should make a pretty big difference.

Im going to post this in the groundpounders section aswell to get some more answers there.

Tommy Mckinnie was pretty much the top dog in the world in bassrace for many years using a tunnel type wall so they must be good for something.

As is Gary Killian's except from the pics ive seen he has ports on the far sides of the enclosure making it a nice 6th order. I like that idea but mine will more than likely remain a 4th with a couple different tricks added.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I was very tempted to build a tunnel years ago, but I didn't have the depth in my application.

I'm not 100% on this, but I want to say that I've heard of people having issue with front or back subs or something like that... as far as one set unloading or causing loss- one set being closer to the terminus or opening of the tunnel than another set. If memory serves, a bit of phasing or time alignment can improve things if there is an issue. But I have no experience with that- It just came to mind. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that or help me out.

love em. After I finish the truck I've thought about doing one in an astro. Oh wait have I said too much? I'd be in the same phase as you though with the info gathering.

imo the most impressive looking builds. I'm.not a box designer guy. but as a onlooker there the tits! only other wall that i think looks half as cool are clamshell boxes. something about having 15s hang over your head is just scary!

Gary truck isn't a 6th order, but a low tuned tunnel box. I believe he is tuned down around 24 hz from what I can remember him telling me.

formerly known as Blue86f150

its a 4th order just because its tuned in the 40z doesnt mean it wont reach down and jiggle your balls at sub 30 hz frequencies.

Regardless if they were dipped platinum and were stuffed in Beyonce's twat.....way too fucking exspensive

a low tuned tunnel box IS a 6th order if you think about it....the tunnel itself is one port and the smaller ports on the sides are another.

a sealed tunnel like most guys build like in the video above is essentially a 4th order.
