8" kicker L5 box design

What do u use for box designs and calculators?

That's a cute little compact box! I hope it performs the way you want it to.

A good (free) 3D modeling software I use (and many people on here use) is Sketchup. For calculations/simulations I use WinIsd. WinIsd is good once you figure it out but doing that can be a real pain.

Lol right. Hope so, should be better than the sealed box its in that's barely as big as the speaker....

K ill download it this weekend and try to play around with it. I can't ever figure out the tuning on the box calculator apps on my phone.

You can always check out my thread about my first box build. There another member posts a link to the most updated version of WinIsd and how to enter the specs of your drivers to allow the program to work. I will post a link to it in a second.

K thanks bro. I've built 2 other boxes but they were just copied from pics online. Kinda wanna learn how to tune them how I want them etc that's why I'm getting all the correct tools etc.

Sketchup is what i use, It works really well for box building and the likes.

[J_west07]

Does it also figure in the tuning? I've just never been able to get the tuning part it asks for all the dimensions etc, but then it wants port length and height and it always says N/A on the tuning so I dunno wtf I'm doing wrong.

No sketchup is a just a building program for everything, not just boxes. I use carstereo.com for my port lengths. just remember that most port length calculators usually don't factor in port volume.
