Need help with box design zv4 12

[brian85578]

Thanks so much JoeX is the board thickness 1 inch or can I use .75

[Joe X]

For best results I would stay with 1" wood, in any case 3/4" wood would need a new cutsheet likely with bracing added.

I guess I could get 1/2 inch double baffle them for all pieces 1 inch mdf is hard to find

[brian85578]

I don't mind bracing the box

[Joe X]

If you look and can't find the 1" wood let me know and I will change that to 0.75".

I can't find 1 inch mdf Loews Home Depot Meeks no one has it so can u design it with 3/4 mdf

I've got a Zv4 12 on an Saz-2000D. First box I ever built/designed (With the help of Joe X). It turned out really good I think don't have any pictures with the carpet on it, oh well.

My box is

2.75 cu ft @ 31hz

42 sq inches of port

0.75 thick MDF with a double baffle and cross bracing with 1 1/4 dowels.

Plays from 24hz all the way up to 40/45hz really well. Seems the output drops significantly after 40-45hz but that's expected with this sub & the low tuning. My box design is different from yours though as it's in the back of my ext cab F150 facing up.

That's a nice box maybe I need to try a aero port just seems with my dementions I can't port it with a L shape

[brian85578]

JoeX can you redesign it with .75 mdf

[Joe X]

Here is another suggestion for 0.75 wood thickness, power: to sub rated, amp subsonic filter to 28Hz, minimum port clearance 3 1/2", figure is just an assembly guide, bracing is 1 1/4" wooden dowel rods:

NOTE: If building outside you need to build a cardboard dummy box to test fit in it's way inside.
