timc31610 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hey guys, I just picked up an AB DX15 for my GF's son and was wondering if anyone had a clue what size box these subs like. Available space is 24"D x 40"W x 24"H going in the back of a 99 Dodge pickup extended cab. He will be powering it with an Alpine MRP-M500 which will only give it 250 watts. I'm looking for loudest possible with decent range. I would guess sub/port up would be our best option as far as placement goes. Thanks for any and all suggestions! I know it's a miniscule build compared to most but will be his first!

timc31610 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I emailed American Bass and there are no help. I was able to get the ts specs from their website but when I input it into winisd it gives me an error saying missing parameters. I have tried numerous times and can't figure it out. Here are the specs: Impedence (Ohm) 4 Rdc (Ohm) 3.5 Levc mH 3.783 Fo Hz 30.4 Sd msqM 76.45 BL TM 16.295 Qms 4.764 Qes 0.635 Qts 0.56 n% 0.375 SPL dB 89.8 Vas L 89.6 Cms uM/N 105.6 Mms g 259.6 VC Inch 2.5 Mgnt oz 120 Xmax ±MM 15 RMS 500W MAX 1000W F.Range Hz <500 Mounting Depth MM 228 Inch 9 SPK DISP.

timc31610 Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I guess I'm going to take a wild guess and say 4 ft3 with about 50"'s of port area. Tune about 35 or so.

Joe X Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Pointless using that program as is for car audio anyways, call the manufacturer again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowfkncar Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I would say 2.5net 12 sq.inches of port per cube @ 35hz 500rms. Or 3 cubes with 12sq.inch per cube at 250rms. 4 cubes with 50sq inches of port is probably wayyyy to much for that sub judging by the weak motor force and lack of mechanical excursion.

timc31610 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Thanks guys, Joe I thought Winisd was ok for modeling in a car environment. If not is there a better way? Slowfkncar, thanks man, Ill go between the two recommendations since he will be starting at 250 and moving up to 500 eventually.
