Second Skin Audio

ZVX 18 in rear deck... ported.


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I was going to do a 4th order bandpass in my Hyundai Azera but I was going to take the entire trunk to do that, so I changed plans.

Now I'll build a ported box with the sub and port in the rear deck (yes, it fits)... gonna build a sturdy box but I have my doubts with box volume, port area and tuning.

things to considers are:

- sub powered by nendo symphony s1500.1

- zvx 18 v1.5 with PSI softparts (longer coil for additional xmax than the stock one)

- the box will be sealed off the trunk to get all the output to the cabin

- will have to cut some metal so that's not a problem for me

the box I have right now is an angled ported box so the box could enter the trunk, one problem is that is too small (4,7 cuft) and it's tuned too high for my taste (37-38hz).

I can build a box that's up to 8 cuft gross without considering port volume.

Anything will help, tomorrow I will get 1 month of vacations in which I'll do door panels for my infinity and polk audio components and run sky high car audio wires.

It's a lot of work I have to do in one month so I want some help to do it once and good.

Thanks!

Nice box! sounds like a good idea, Im doing the same thing on my car, port though the rear deck. I took a jig saw and bought a few metal blades and layed in my trunk and cut. But i hope you have a lot of port area, the picture of the box above looks awesome but port is a little small.

Any particular reason you want to do a 4th order bandpass over a regular ported box?

OK, yeah that makes sense. I got a little confused as was thinking the OP was wanting to do a 4th order too.

No trunk rattle is another up side i suppose, no air flow in the trunk.

but that will take output away compared to my current setup, because I'll getting the sound waves from one face of the sub...
