lukemstilwell Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I've only built sealed boxes before this, and have no idea how to plan to build a slot ported box for my sub. Would it be better for me to purchase a full box from somewhere online custom built to my dimensions? I feel confident in my ability to build a box but have no idea how to design and plan it. Is there a certain website or place I can go to and purchase some plans? Or can someone guide me through building a slot ported box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Don't buy a generic box, they are expensive and generally useless, get a plan or design yourself, you can get help on here for either option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, thank you. I appreciate it. How would I go about getting help from someone to design a box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukemstilwell Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 The sub is one Sundown Audio E12 V3 4 Ohm. I will be powering it with an Audiopipe APMI-1500 watt amp and I'll be giving it 540 watts wired at 4 ohms. I took one of the rear back seats out so I'll have a width of 18" and a depth of 14.5. The height doesn't really matter as long as I'm gettin the required airspace and all. It's in a '97 F-150 and the electrical is stock but I'm looking to upgrade it soon if really necessary. I already have a 10" Rockford punch shallow mount sub under the rear seat pushed by a Rockford Prime amp with an old school Punch 75.2 pushing my JBL door speakers. I have a Pioneer head unit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckeeler11 Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 You are going to get rid of the 10" Punch once you get the Sundown installed correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can if needed, but didn't plan on it. Is there a reason I should? I'm new to car audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckeeler11 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 you do not want to mix subs. You can end up with cancellation issues since you have 2 different drivers with different response curves trying to play the same frequencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
