Box tuning help

Hey guys I'm working on a box in a corolla. Box will fire forward then fire upwards through the rear shelf like in the pic. My question is how will the tuning get affected by building the front chamber in that way. Rear chamber is tuned to 35hz

You'll make it act as a 6th order bandpass.

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.

i highly doubt it acting like a 6th order bandpass.. its nothing different than putting the port against the tailgate of an suv..i remember ram telling me it might lower the tuning due to making the port longer..

What subs is This for?

Is doing a properly built 4th or 6th order bandpass and option for this build?

It may work out better for what you are trying to do.

Scooter already had a thread with a similar layout and a similar question and general consensus was that it would function as a poorly designed bandpass.

Yes my fear is the tuning changing. But changing how exactly is the question lol. The other issue is the guy already has already got two sa15s and a corolla boot is way too small for a proper bandpass box for two 15s.

I agree with others, it will act as a 6th order bandpass box, however the "front chamber" tuning will be so high, it won't matter and you should be fine. What will matter though is it will most likely lower the tuning of the port, how much is difficult to say.

You could temporarily screw the box together and measure to see where your tuning is and adjust accordingly. That layout can probably be simulated in Hornresp too, which would give you an idea.

Ok thanks a lot. How about if I seal the top part and throw in some 4 inch ports? So I tune the front chamber too. I just put the front chamber into Torres and I'm getting like 200hz lol. What's the best tuning to do the front chamber. Rear chamber is 6.5 cubes @ 35hz. Front chamber is 2.3 cubes gross
