zagfuchs Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hello all, its been a while since I have posted on here, but I am finally working my way back into things. I managed to get my hands on some new equipment and wanted to see what you guys thought. More specifically I wanted to know if the enclosure that I got my subs in is a suitable home or if there would be a need to upgrade in the future. So a little background info, this is going in the trunk of a 99 Nissan Altima, the subs are a pair of Kicker 07CVR122 and they are in a ported box. I listen mostly to rap and metal/hard rock music, this will be a daily driver setup. Please see below for the dimensions of the enclosure The box is 30 1/8 wide x 13 3/4 tall x 17 5/8 deep The port is 12 1/4 tall x 2 3/8 wide x 13 1/4 deep The front baffle is 1" thick and the rest of the box is 3/4" thick I tried to put the numbers into the calculators on The 12 Volt and I think its roughly a 3.3 cu ft box tuned to 37 hz. I am by no means an expert, that's why I am here asking y'all. Do you think this enclosure is suitable for my subs or should I look into a different enclosure for the future?

zagfuchs Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 They are not great pics, I just took them with my laptop, but hopefully they give you an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 It'll do fine for now even though it is most likely tuned in the low 40's, as long as your happy with it then that is all that matters really. Now if you upgrade to better subs then i would have a new box built and tuned for them. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zagfuchs Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Thanks for the input. I have not heard these subs in this box, I have heard the subs in a different box and the box with different subs and they both sounded good on their own. I just wanted to make sure they weren't totally incompatible with each other and figure out if I did the math correct in figuring out what the box is tuned to.

Going by your dimensions and considering displacements, the box is about 2.8 net @ 39Hz, that's really small and port area is also low, it MAY do since you don't listen to low tuned music like rap and such so: TEST it. But you will find even in the manual that these subs are designed to work in larger enclosures, I would probably wouldn't do it less than 2 net per sub for a smaller box, subs on rated power. If you upgrade to different subs and amp a different box needs to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to keep the subs, thats why I'm asking if the box will work. Can you put polyfill in a ported box to "make it appear bigger" like in a sealed box?
