3000gt 18 Solo X Build Update 3/26/09


Recommended Posts

I don't think the solo x would perform well in a sealed enclosure.

I don't wanna go sealed but it is going to be really tight with a port and any way I put the port in there, the opening would be right next to the magnet, possible within a couple of inches or so, and I thought it could cause some port noise.

As far as it being sealed, I previously had it in the trunk of a honda prelude sealed and it sounded really good, so I can only imagine how it would sound ported. Anyone have any ideas as to how to do the port, ( I need 60 sq inches 14.5 inches long

At first I thought I would be able to do two smaller ports but they would each have to be 22 inches long and I don't think I have that much space, I'm gonna measure the volume tomorow and look at the box some more to see what I can do, If a port opening is realy close to the magnet would that cause port noise, by close I mean anywhere between 1 and 3 inches, the it wouldn't be the entire port that would be covered by the magnet, possible just under half of it.

O and by the way, I am going to get a 250 amp alt from mechman, groupbuy FTW!!!!

Bad news...I measured the box and after all the support and using double mdf and everything the volume of my box is gonna be is 4.5 cubic feet. that means no port for me.

Good news...i'll have it in by sunday and if I don't like the sound of it, it will come out and a wall is goin in

I hadn't thought of external ports but I don't really have anymore room, been working on the box, used 3 bottles of glue already and a whole bunch of nails...
