Gonna start build this weekend, cant wait to hear this damn thing. Thanks for all the input so far. Make it jus a tad bigger and add a little bit of bracing and 45° pieces in the corners. I would personally try to tune around 32 myself. Jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shredder2 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 You got a lotta power... I'd say try for over 16in2 per ft minimum if you want it around 4ft3 net. Might have to go taller if that's the only way you can go, IDK how you want it configured but as far as airspace/port area with your power I'd sure try to find more port area if it was me. 65in2 would be about right IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"3.5-4cuft tune to 28-32 with 60-70 sqin port" I'm in Vegas and they're building me woofers. I just texted a main employee and that's what he just sent me. Just letting you know what they said.

shredder2 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 I've always gone with 65ish in2 of port area with high excursion/power 15's to avoid compression... here... I whipped one up for your power in the approximate space you got available. Probably not configured correctly and it's a V2 but IMO it's a good example of what you're lookin' for... It turned out smallish as the tune you're lookin' for really displaces some air (port displacement)... but should do fine IMO. I'd err on the hi-side of 16in2^ft3 for your power if you can find the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorillaFIngeRs Posted July 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 What would I lose out on by decreasing box size? Im willing to tune to 32hz if thats recommended i would like some good bandwidth so that should help. looking like a 5" wide port to meet port area.

GorillaFIngeRs Posted July 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Ok so I will measure again too see if i can make it to 14.5" tall but i believe this is the best i can do. and this is maxing out my space for the most part. I could maybe move some stuff around if need be. Also, sub will be oriented facing up with port on back right facing passenger side of car fwiw.

That looks pretty good but remember that bracing will change tuning a little. If it were me I would punch in .20 in the bracing section to account for 45° and say a 1.5" dowel at least. Just to see what happens to tuning. Jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredder2 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 A set of 3" 45's (2) is 2.12x2.12xh... in this case 12.5"... so 56.18 divided by 1728=.0325... double that for 4 ea 45's to .07. A 1.5" dowel is h x 1.76... in this case 22 ÷1728 or .012 so together its .08ft3 displacement for bracing if you go that route. A 4" is 2.86 x2.86 x h... so its more displacement... not 100% dead on but pretty darn close. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just throwing a number out there as an example to see what would happen to his tuning. Good info on the displacement math BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
