Dax Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 I recently got a hold of an old L5 and was wondering if anyone had any experience with building a box for them because in the manual it gives a fairly wide range for enclosure sizes, so if anyone has any idea what a good size box would be to start with that would be great. Also haven't decided if i wanna go with a sealed or ported box yet so might build one of each and try them out. Just let me know what has worked for you or what u have heard works and ill go from there, and will someone send me the link for the torres box calculator i got a new computer and haven't downloaded it yet.

Dax Posted March 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 its an 08 dodge mega cab, i was trying to change my sig and i cant figure out how. I will have 2 behind the back seat if possible, and right now they are getting about 900 watts from a power acoustic 1500.1 amp. At least that is what they should be getting, lol, i am pretty sure i wanna go ported too, i have them in a ported box that they came in and they sound good i just want my back seat back so i will need to figure out a better box for behind my seat. I will get some measurements tomorrow and post them up.

SGTSKIP Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Get in the truck, scoot the seat as far back that you will ever sit in it. Remove anything that you can and figure out how much airspace that you are willing to give up or https://3184402.r.bat.bing.com/?ld=d34I6j0Wsk3piRfWZmuaSf1TVUCUxcDG8F7Nn5I53a7PXEyAkVjEN9MASFw8n_WDSMmzcww17h4wq9V4Qhuz5Fwe1kHjYmjdT_0zLVm2jBt34eJ3rgWw0WdI3Aq54UtKZcKATx0T2zjMbNeh02ixvevwxZFbpKBUXwQN4OYwIaI-leZzY2&u=http%3a%2f%2frover.ebay.com%2frover%2f1%2f711-213727-13078-0%2f2%3fkwid%3d1%26itemid%3d351857166540%26mpre%3dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2Flike%2F351857166540%26device%3dc%26cmpgn_id%3d222000019%26ad_grp%3d1335010026. at least you can move it around.

Dax Posted March 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Thanks man ill get some measurements tonight The Midget Looks Into Your Soul 2008 Dodge am 3500HD with the 6.7 Cummins Race Me tuner, dpf deleted kenwood double din cheap walmart speakers for now(infinity reference comps comps coming soon) 2 kicker L5's in a ported box of unknown tuning lol(soon to be changed) Power acoustic 1500.1 on the subs (for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax Posted March 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 ok its kinda of an odd shaped box but ill give you the measurements of it and tell you what i have and go from there i guess. lol My max width is 60in without removing trim panels which i would like to avoid doing. Max height is 24in and the depth at the top is 2in. depth at the bottom i have figured for 8 inches so the is room for the sub, but the available area is 10in at the bottom. At 7 1/2in up my max depth is 9in and then at 12in up the max depth is 8in and from that point it stays on on an angle to the top of the box. There is also a bump on the back wall for for the power rear window and the outside dimensions of that are 12in by 14 1/2in and it raises 2in off the back wall. My min sub depth is 6 7/8in and the cutouts are 11 1/16in by 11 1/16in. They call for 1 3/4 cubic feet to 3 1/4 cubic feet per sub for ported enclosures. Before port and sub displacement i have 4.2 cubic feet and thats with a the little box for the bump displacement added in. I'm going to upload some pics of the space I'm working with and some drawings i have of the box i have designed. I'm curious on how much port area i need, and what to tune the box too, as well as how much port are per foot i need? Any and all help will be appreciated. thanks The Midget Looks Into Your Soul 2008 Dodge am 3500HD with the 6.7 Cummins Race Me tuner, dpf deleted kenwood double din cheap walmart speakers for now(infinity reference comps comps coming soon) 2 kicker L5's in a ported box of unknown tuning lol(soon to be changed) Power acoustic 1500.1 on the subs (for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
