sadams4431 Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 hello all. i recently purchased 2 rockville W12K6D2 V2 , dual 2 ohm coils , my amp i will be using is a soundstream ar1.8000d , i plan on running a 2 ohm load total to the subs @600 w ea , the amp according to BigD on youtube it should do about 1200 rms give or take . the box i think i may be going with will be 36" wide 17"deep 19"tall , im thinking of doing an 8" aero port with about 10" in the box and the rest protruding , the car these are going in is a nissan versa note hatchback subs and port firing to the roof, my question is does this seem like a reasonable box with that size port, i have had many systems over the years but none ported . Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 With those specs the box should be around 4.6 cu ft net. This is assuming you will use a double baffle on the top, which you should do. Looks like it should work well to me.

sadams4431 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 hi all i have another newb question, i cant seem to locate 8 inch pipe locally , lets assume i went with a few 4inch ports , how many and what lengths would be optimal in my situation ? subs and ports firing toward the roof , so it doesnt matter how much port is sticking out of the box. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadams4431 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 or would i be best served making a square wooded port around 8 inches square and 18 or so inches long ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This is why its not best to use more than one or two aero ports). You don't need to use pipe to make an 8" port, just get some 8" concrete form tube. They should have it at Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. Bring your tape measure with you though, what's labeled at an 8" tube can be anywhere from 7-9" internally.

sadams4431 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 great suggestion never thought of that, would it need to be flared to reduce noise or would it be ok just cut to length and epoxied in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadams4431 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 looks like 7.5 or 9.5 is actual diameter i assume i should go with the 9.5 internal appears to be 7.25 on the 8 and 9.25 on the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
