ZDudas Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 I bought a kicker l7 15 dvc 4 ohm that I am going to run on a MB Quart 1500.1 at 2 ohm final load. I want the box tuned to 32hz and I want the port firing to the driver side and sub facing up. MAX dimensions are 33 in width, 24 in depth, 18 in height. Also which wood would be better for this enclosure, (3/4 MDF or 3/4 Birch?) Thanks! I hope to start building the box this week.
Triticum Agricolam Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 Quality 3/4" plywood (with 7 plys or more), is better than MDF is pretty much every single way except cost.

ZDudas Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Posted August 10, 2015 I'll spend the extra cash if I need to. I have never used birch on any box build, only used MDF.
Joe X Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 Here is your request, should work in an ext cab truck, power: to sub rated, amp subsonic filter to 28Hz, minimum port clearance 3 5/8", figure is just an assembly guide, port brace is 3/4" MDF, cross-braces are 1 1/4" wooden dowel rods.
ZDudas Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Posted August 10, 2015 Thanks for the design and cut sheet list. That is exactly what I wanted Joe X. How much clearance do I need to have in front of the port?

Bob Tzimenatos Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 I recently built a very similar box for a L5 12. Right at 3 cubes, tuned to 39 hz or so. Following Joe's dims that box will slam in an ext cab.
ZDudas Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Posted August 10, 2015 Well I have the design now I'm off to lowes to get the MDF. Building will start today. Any ideas on how I should measure and cut out the square hole for the speaker? And are the 45s in the corners of the box necessary?
Joe X Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 The cutout is a square 13 3/4" x 13 3/4" how to cut it will depend on what tools you have available.
Bob Tzimenatos Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 Go to Kicker's website. In the manual for the Solobarics they have the dimensions and the radius for the corners.
