Gregg Elias Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 Well after having this beast in a sealed properly hidden behind my back seat I think I need to hear it in a ported box. Car is a 91 Chevy sprint turbo hatchback. Without the back seat there's about 40" back to front up to the front of the rest seat. More if I go right up to front seats. There's 35" wide and 20" high will get about 12cuft internal with bracing. Not sure the best way to design this think. I don't have much experience with ported. Should I go sub up, port back? I could go 2 ports facing back? Sub and ports facing back? How much space from rear so back of car doesn't become part of port? Also this sub is the overhung coil and not the split coil. I've yet to get the specs from re but I have them somewhere. Any input would help or a way to design
Sackcheese Posted February 10, 2016 Report Posted February 10, 2016 Good luck finding any thing reliable on that sub. I have the 12" re xxx and the spec sheet says 1cf sealed, I threw it in a 2.5 sealed box and it slapped... As far as ported 2.5 - was ok sounding and I read somewhere that a guy had a single 12" in a 8 cube ported box??? Kinda crazy!!! Re never really helped me ither they told me 3 cubes. After deliberating on what size to build the box, I said fuck I'll experiment so I built 5.5 cubes after displacements and tuned it low as fuck,and it sounded great. So all I can say is build it big and experiment...
Gregg Elias Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Posted February 11, 2016 1cuft sealed?! How would the sub fit? Lol. Yeah the specs they gave me said 6 sealed and 6 ported with 3-4" ports 15" long. It's in 5.5-6 sealed right now and sounds great. I defiantly don't need it any louder. You're right. I think the bigger the better. I bet yours sounds good!
Mauro376455 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 So have you thought about a box design? i just ordered my 2 one should come in next week. Imma try a big ported box around 12 cubes and big port. i have lots of space in my avalanche lol But i am open to any type of recommendations or ideas for 2 re xxx 15's
Sackcheese Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Na man I have my 12 collecting dust in the back room I've since moved on to 2 fi q 18"s just give them enuff port area and build big lol... Try and get joe X to put his two cents in on a box for yourself... He is held in high regards on this forum and from what I've read he has really good advice as well as others here
Mauro376455 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 He has helped me before with previous box buids, With that said, JoeX your help is needed once again lol Any type of box build for 2 re audio xxx 15"s I have a chevy avalanche, box will go in midgate will post exact measurements when i get a chance so anyone can help. Im going ported doe not sealed. btw i have seen people do octoports, Real Nicee, will keep that in mind lol
