Jahlg64 Posted June 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Cool. Thanks for all your help. I'l download the program today, and yeah I'll never use peel and seal. I have heard too many bad things about it stinking and falling off and such. It' in my list to deaden the trunk area, but it' rarely driven so not on my list of priorities. Thanks again for your help. I'l let you know how things go. Meanwhile I'll keep watching your build log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahlg64 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 I completely forgot to grab it. I just have them rip it into manageable size pieces. I have all the equipment to do the smaller pieces at home. Just about every tool I'd need. Except a router table. I'l get back there and grab what I need.

Jahlg64 Posted June 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Quick question, on the calculation for the port, the length of port, I just make sure the lineal length is the length it shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellbilly429 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Physical port length is the total length of the port walls, plus any walls that act as a port wall. If the port is to the front with a bend, you count the front baffle thickness towards the length of the port. Also, don't forget to account for material thickness when measuring around the bends. I believe that port will bend twice, so you will have to take into the length the thickness of the material. 2018 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback (build in progress) NVX Sound Deadener (Front Doors) Stinger FAST Rings Stock Electrical SSA Evil 6.5's Front Speakers Stock rear speakers MB Quart ONX4.80 speaker amp Rockford Fosgate T-1500bdcp DC Level 4 12" D1 @ 2-ohm Box In Design Stage Stock RadioMy Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellbilly429 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Actual port length goes down the center of the port, so you can measure the actual by figuring out what the length would be down the center line of the port of the box. 2018 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback (build in progress) NVX Sound Deadener (Front Doors) Stinger FAST Rings Stock Electrical SSA Evil 6.5's Front Speakers Stock rear speakers MB Quart ONX4.80 speaker amp Rockford Fosgate T-1500bdcp DC Level 4 12" D1 @ 2-ohm Box In Design Stage Stock RadioMy Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahlg64 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 So I'm understanding correctly, 3" port width, 35.5" port length. So I could in theory, measure in 1.5 and draw a line following the bends 35.5" keeping the 1.5" middle mark, and that would give me the layout for the port? Ive built plenty of sealed enclosures. Just never done a ported and don't want to mess it up. And sub and the port on the same side? Ideally that would work best to protect the sub from my tools in the van.

Hellbilly429 Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Yes and yes. Don't doubt yourself, you're getting it! Sub up port up tunes slightly lower than any other sub/port configuration, but it's only like half a hz difference. I build the port outside of the box, put sides, back, and bottom together for the box, then line the port up, trace it out in the wall it will attach to, then drill holes through the walls where the port will attach, then glue that side of the port, line it up again, clamp it, then drill through my started holes into the port, put screws in, then repeat on the other wall and glue and screw entire wall before putting together. Idk what everyone else does, but that's worked for me. 2018 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback (build in progress) NVX Sound Deadener (Front Doors) Stinger FAST Rings Stock Electrical SSA Evil 6.5's Front Speakers Stock rear speakers MB Quart ONX4.80 speaker amp Rockford Fosgate T-1500bdcp DC Level 4 12" D1 @ 2-ohm Box In Design Stage Stock RadioMy Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
