Alpine SWR 12d2 ported box (Help)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi!

Can anyone help me?

Im trying to figure out a ported box for 2 12" Type-r's. I want them to be in separate chambers with ports in the middle.

The alpine recommended vent at 1" x 12.5 seems a bit too small im afraid.

I tried to calculate one in Torres but it won't work with my computer

The space i have is approx. 31.5" wide 16.5" high and 16.5" deep

Tuned to about 32hz

It will be going in to a hatchback.

They will be force fed with 1 Spl dynamics ice 1500.1 each

Thanks!

I'm on my phone right now so I can't give you specific help, but I can tell you your assumption is correct, Alpine's recommended port area is WAY too small.

I tried to use Box Tune Calculator app now and got following results.

2 subs displacement 0,200

Material 0.75

Box: 4,34 ft3 Gross 2,82 ft3 Net

W 31,49" x H 16,53" x D 18,11"

Port: 2,75" Wide 15,03" high 33,07" long

Port in the middle

Tuned to 32,08 hz

Or

Box: 4,07 ft3 Gross 2,81 ft3 Net

W 36,22" x H 14,96" x D 16,53"

Port: 2,75" wide 13,46" high 29,52" long

Should be tuned to 32,05hz

Port in the middle

Does that sound correct or should i use a different program?

Not enough port area, you are getting up above 125 ft. sec.(39 meters) port velocities. You should be able to get by with 4.5 wide x 15 tall which would give you just under 80 ft/ sec. port would be 46.75" long though. I don't think you have the room.

2 6" aeros would put you at just under 95 ft. sec. so theoretically it would work but know you have to fit that into a box with some bends. i think a slot port would be more efficient. Need to find some more space or less power.
