So, I built my box for 6-15" Kicker L7.... HELP


Recommended Posts

Help! lol I built a ported woofer box thinking this would sound A LOT better than my previous sealed box for 4-15" L7's but it doesn't! Hits high bass cool but not lows. Do I need to tune lower by making port longer? The box is 23"H x 49" W x 58"D port is 21.5"H x 15"W x 10.5"D tuned to about 34Hz per Torres Tuning Calculator...

What did I do wrong? It is my 1st build so take it easy on me guys :cray:

I barely get any air out of port.

Don't want to give up and cancel the port and just wall the interior and make it sealed.

im showing 31cuft for that box. that seems kind big to me for 6 15's. You are at like 5cubes per sub.

They have a TON of cone area for 15s being that they're square

@OP how much air a port moves is greatly dependent on the power applied and frequency played. What do you believe the problem to be?

Do you have any odd loading issues?

I'd suggest verifying your tuning frequency in vehicle.

You can find your real tuning frequency by playing sine wave tones at moderate volume (there are tone generator apps for your phone). At your tuning frequency your cones will move the least and movement will increase if you increase or decrease the frequency from that point.
