dsw422 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Got the car back and started working on it.. I first took out the amp rack to get most of the wires in the trunk cleaned up. I then wrapped the rack with carpet and put it back in the trunk. Unfortunately I'll have to remove everything from the trunk to do some wiring under the floor and possibly even wrap the floor (haven't decided yet).. I've also got a question for all you guys.. I'm trying to decide which way to make the port.. either centered vertical, or top horizontal. What's y'alls opinion and y?

ShadeTreeMechanic Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Cool build! I would put it horizontal top because it looks like the ceiling would act as an extension to it. This would put it in the corner and help focus it all in one direction. Kind of like when you put a sub in the corner of the living room. I might be totally wrong because I have never done this before, but that's what it looks like to me. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalledSonic Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I vote for vertical slot since people like to stick their arms/hands in the port and I like to throw shirts or paper in the port. Vertical port makes that easier. Then again, this is a 4th with a short port instead of a ported box with long port. Either way, I think it'll look good!

dsw422 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Got the port made!! Went with a top port. Started extra long at first and went shorter till it sounded best.. this is when I wish i had an SPL meter.. lol.. I also got the sides prepared for resin and fiberglass (which I'll do tonight).. Now I have another question for those with experience with 4ths.. the subs aren't playing lows very well (anything 28 and below). By that I mean they aren't very loud compared to higher notes.. with that said, would lowering the internal volume of the sealed chamber help at all?

reedal Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I want to say that @DavidClark had to increase his sealed side in order to get lower, at the expense of lowering the peak tuning. But I may be wrong SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsw422 Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Progress last night.. fiberglassed the sides and 2 layers of primer on the ported section.. look pretty good I think.. Also, thanks reedal for that info.. since I'm unable to enlarge the sealed section, I'll prolly try polyfill in it to see if it helps.. 2014 Ford Focus SE Sedan Factory Sony 10 Speaker Sound System 1994 Ford Bronco Dual head unit (i kno) Sony door speakers Kenwood Rear Speakers Custom Center console in the works. will house an NVX NSW10" https://m.facebook.com/WinnsCustomCarAudio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadeTreeMechanic Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Looking good! It looks like you could make two ports to swap back and forth from ground pounder to spl. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any input No. Not unless you have cone control issues. Lowering the internal volume of the sealed chamber would also lower the resonance. This would hurt because the sealed chamber strongly dictates low end response. Lowering the sealed volume would also lower efficiency. Assuming you do not have any cone control issues, I would add polyfil to the rear chamber to start, and go from there.

dsw422 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Thanks guys for all the input. I'll add the poly fill and see how it works.. about how much do y'all think I'll need? Also made progress on the build. Got the sides fiberglassed 5 layers thick. Body filled them and sanded smooth. They are now in their final resting place. Tomorrow I'll paint the ported section and hopefully have time to start wrapping the wall with the vinyl. 2014 Ford Focus SE Sedan Factory Sony 10 Speaker Sound System 1994 Ford Bronco Dual head unit (i kno) Sony door speakers Kenwood Rear Speakers Custom Center console in the works. will house an NVX NSW10" https://m.facebook.com/WinnsCustomCarAudio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
