Jason Kimmings Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 So me and my dad are thinking of doing a project, were looking at a single 10" woofer in a home made enclosure but we don't know how big to make the ports or the box... I rember seeing a size guide somewhere but I can't find it... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Box and port should be specific to the sub, there is no one size for all sub's of the same size. What sub is it that you are planning on using? That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Motorboat KER Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Any clue what kind of box you want? Sealed? Ported? 4th order? 6th? 8th? T line? Lol i jk. But i built my first box (without my dad) when i was 17. It was terrible because i had neber used a saw before but it was a lot of fun! I would imagine it would be a good bonding experience. Whats your budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would first measure how much room I have and then look at a driver that will suit my needs in the space I have. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

My point was.... build to the driver.... Seems like my dog would know, that if you dont have more than enough room, dont pick the driver. edit- but, the driver chosen will pick the enclosure..... not "cuz i want a 4th order band pass" (was the point of my text) SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpick Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Most subwoofer companies supply "minimum" and/or "maximum" recommended sealed and ported enclosure sizes. You really need to, as others have already said, figure out your budget first, then look at some of the "recommended" enclosure sizes of brands in that range, that will fit in the vehicle you want to install to. If you find a sub you are just absolutely certain you want, but doesn't offer recommended enclosure sizes, there are many knowledgeable people on here that can still help you, as long as you supply them with the T/S parameters. In layman terms, the detailed specs you will see listed with the subwoofer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
