Daboxxstl Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 So I have recently seen some badass frankenwoofer builds with the rockford fogate rfr2212 motor. I was wanting to to the same. Any ideas on what I should do. I want it to be loud, It will be going in 1991 honda civic hatchback.
khinds94 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Frankenwoofers are dumb in my opinion. If you want to get loud just buy a good sub like a nsv3 or any team sub. Your never going to get parameters for the sub you "create" and it's a toss up when determining airspace, tuning and port area. 03 Sable LS AA mayhem 12" D2 Sundown ZV4 12" D1 Tantric HD 12" D2 Tantric SHD 12" D1 Sundown X12 V2 D2 2.5 cu net Sundown 2000d @ 1 ohm XS Power XP2000 Sky High Sound Deadener Sky High wire Stock alt
Daboxxstl Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Posted July 31, 2014 Yes but I am wanting to build some frankenwoofers. Idc what size box I will need. If needed I will wall off the civic lol or go into the spare tire hole
Krakin Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 It doesn't matter if you need to all our not. You need the RIGHT volume. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Souldrop Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 There are ways to get T/S specs for a custom sub. As far as finding the "right" box volume, the box is only a single part of the acoustic system; it also interacts with the vehicle. IMHO to get the "right" box would require experimentation any way. *shrug* . Is it easier to buy a regular sub and roll with manufacturers recommendations and just assume the best. Yes, because it will probably solidly perform. OP it's ultimately up to you. With a frankenwoofer you will have several more unknowns to account for/figure out and more HW cultivating your design philosophy rather than throwing parts together. Unless you just love a certain motor for which there are no OEM recones it is probably better to just buy a manufactured sub to suit your needs. There are countless choices so finding one to fit your application will not be hard. 1997 Lexus ES300 HU - Pioneer MVH 7350 Processor - Helix DSP Front Stage - JBL P660C Mid/high amp - Alpine PDX-F4 Subs - 1 IA Death Penalty 12 Sub Amp - Cactus Sounds PF300.1
