Ritch40 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 just my .02 but, with the room you have, especially depending on what music you listen to, I think i would run those sealed and call it a wonderful day. 2 15's sealed with proper power will hit plenty hard
Ritch40 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 Here is a suggestion: I don't know your sub displacement so I just guessed lol While i do like your sketchup work i did spot a couple of potential issues. i have a feeling (based on research i have been doing as of late) that this might have a lot of port noise. According to research that i have been doing idealy port velocity needs to stay below 65ft/sec otherwise the port has potential to be noisey. the other being the -3db point is imho a touch high (i am certain due to op's dimensional limitations)
Nocturnus Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Posted August 17, 2014 And this is why I hate building ported boxes. I got a few friends pushing for me to try out an 18" sealed. And to be simplistic about it, I might just do sealed. http://www.posamp.rocks/stereo
Ritch40 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 sealed certainly is more simple. That said i do think musical taste does play a factor in what might work best for you. just as your system goals play a huge role in what type of box design will be best for you.
Nocturnus Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Posted August 17, 2014 Also just realized.. Box is 33" across, subs take up 31.,5" if i make them touch. That is not a lot of space leftover for triming them in or anything. Just when I thought I had this figured out. http://www.posamp.rocks/stereo
Ritch40 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 Based on your vehicle specs, I personally think CJ's idea of 2 12's really would make life a ton easier on you.
Nocturnus Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Posted August 17, 2014 Yeah, I'd just like to do something I've not done before. Had a 21" long ago. Never done a 18" (that sounds wrong somehow). Guess I'm glad I didn't order the 15's. The great debate starts in my head now. 2 12's or 1 18. I need to kick back with some scotch. http://www.posamp.rocks/stereo
Ritch40 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 while i am certainly not the most knowledgeable person here, if i can help in any way id be happy to Enjoy the debate....lol
Nocturnus Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Posted August 17, 2014 I know, it sucks. I'm sitting at work debating.. 2 12, 2 15 (shoehorned in), and 1 18. http://www.posamp.rocks/stereo
Nocturnus Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 After all this, I really have 39:" across and not 33". No idea why I thought 33. So now I got like 39 across, 17-10 tall and deepest i can go is ~27 on the bottom and 24 on the top. http://www.posamp.rocks/stereo
