Perks of going to COLLEGE.

Obviously I need to rebuild the box. I may want to rebuild it with MFD since I think this pine I am using, though lightweight, you can tell there is some resonance to it.

Also, can I build the port facing forward on an angle into the cabin instead of facing the back? Or upwards to hit the windshield. Like I said it sure more alot of air.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you redo the box I'd add some more port area.

Frank, I respect your hustle. This has been a good read.

[Deeznutz]

Thanks Ahmed.

Broke, more port area? I did measure the slot port for the American Bass enclosure I once had.

IIRC it measured something like 3" x 13". Researching I did find "Use 10-15 in2 for every cf used". So this is what you're talking about?

RF has a slot port design as well.

Now the only question I have is, will it change the sound and feel of the sub? I did notice the AB 12's played quite loudly, but did not hit the low notes that well,

though the notes were loud. They felt shallow and rather boomy?? And the cones were all over the place. Does that make sense? I guess I mean in terms of "compression"?, I think is what I'm trying to say.

I could be completely wrong in this thinking. The port I made can come out by just unscrewing the screws. I guess I can make another port, make the hole bigger and

try again since it's a proto box.

Honestly, I'd at least double your port area, that would put you around 14sq in per cube

[Broke_Audio_Addict]

The general consensus from the knowledgable people on here was that really a port can't be too big but it can be too small yours is definitely too small.

Like bighoss said at least double it maybe even more if you can make it work.

Port length would be the major limiting factor in how much port area you can actually use.

Frank.

Have you considered going with a single sub setup? I have a feeling a single 12 will do good there. Maybe do a AA havoc or a Fi Q

[BassJunkie]

How close is the top of that box to the glass in the rear with the hatch closed?

These guys are correct, you need about double the port area. You are really constrained with space. Have you considered adding birth control to the mix? (taking the rear seats out)

Which american bass subs did you have?
