magillaru Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 "move the port" Move it where? I really don't want driver's side. I just don't know how I'm going to get it done without bending the port. Trying to get the tuning I want with the net volume and port area, I'm beginning to think is going to be impossible......

Ninja_v1.0 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I think 3.5 will be a bit small for a 15", even at that power. Depends on the response you would like to get and what is the frequency that you want max spl at. The benefits of a smaller low tuned enclosure are that you have better frequency range and that the cone control is better at higher frequencies. On lower than tuning frequencies the control is similar, because below tuning you're basically playing free air. The negative side is that cone excursion at and around tuning will be less, so it won't be that louder on those frequencies and will get hotter because there is less impedance rise (more power) and less cone movement to cool off the coil. The benefits of a bigger low tuned enclosure are thermal power handling at and around tuning, will play louder near tuning and you can use a shorter port. Negative side is that you will have a narrower bandwidth (loss of higher freq's). The less cone control above tuning can be compensated with a proper LPF adjustment. Probably you will be good with 4 - 4.2 cu.ft. That's my opinion, based on my experience with other subs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. edit.. nevermind what i said... im just happy to be here When your at the top everyone is coming for you, friends, family, haters and even those who don't know you.. my advice..

magillaru Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I'm going to keep playing with the numbers but this is what I have so far...... *Tuning is higher than I want and port area is a little less than what I was planning. End correction should bring down the tuning a little bit. Singer Alternators Team Asshole #anothershittysingerbuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_paralyzed_ Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Would top port work for ya? Without having to bend and not being driver's side? Top ports seem to be demo friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magillaru Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 The entire roof will be welded and covered with wood panels so that shouldn't be a problem......I'm not big fan of a top port. Meter is the least of my concern and this is my daily (for the moment) so I'm really trying to avoid drivers port. I'm picky.
