Meave Stede Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Hey fellow bassheads, I’m new here, literally just joined. I understand the fundamentals of box design, but I’m a little old school. I don’t use fancy apps, or websites to design for me. I’ve heard lots about the proper port sizes and wondered, is there a real math equation that would give me the proper port size every time? I’m 16, have four DC level 1s, and am making a box like Steve did with Bucket o’ Bass. It’s going in an 01’ Silverado. I just want to make it pound me harder than my drunken uncle on a Saturday night. Any pro tips? Seth Hardin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meave Stede Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Box: 54”W * 17”H * 15.5”D 6.825cuft Pre-displacement 5.00cuft Post-displacement (Woofers, port, and bracing) Port: 15.5”H * 5.25”W * 27.87”L 81sq” 1.31cuft displacement. Where is this tuned to and is the port area good enough? Threw this together in like 20 min. Seth Hardin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackFactory Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I use this for port area: That box should be tuned right around 34hz. You have plenty of port area. It should rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man, I really want to make a profession out of this. Is it even possible now-a-day? I’m trying to bring bass back to Memphis. I hear door speakers and the occasional trunk bang.

Jessica Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 how much space are you going to have between the port opening and the inside side of the truck? Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside. My super random youtube channel and terrible camera work.

A good 4.5 inches. That plus the extra added at the end of the port. Because of the 45*. It’s been though of, but thanks! Seth Hardin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been though of, but thanks! You have close to port width distance from truck walls... Seems good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
