Yea I hear you. Just saying, a couple of these with a little budget 2500 or 3000 amp would slap <img src=">

I know you said you didn't have the space or tools....

But you can damn near make your own flat pack. 

What I always do / recommend, is to find a specialty wood store... Or at least a good lumbar yard "(not a home Depot or Lowe's) carry them a cut sheet, and walk out with your own flat pack. 

It would probably take me about 15 minutes with a piece of scratch paper and calculator to make a cut sheet for those two 15"s. 

I'd do that for you if you wanted me to.

Man that would be awesome if you could. No rush. So a box around 7-7.5ft. The specs for the evls are:

  • Recommended Ported Volume: 3.50 ~ 3.75 ft³
  • Recommended Port Area: 45.0 in²
  • Recommended Tuning Frequency: 31 Hz

Hey Taxed1, I took care of that for you. I did leave a little extra for height and width, and your depth (the parameter that the calculator adjusts for you) was considerably shallower, to give you more space.

 

Here are screen shots of everything you would need. Personally speaking, I'd probably add a little depth, to account for bracing, which I would definitely add to the single thickness (3/4") panels. But there are so many ways to do this, that is going to be up to you. If we discuss what your going to do here, I can tell you how much extra to add to the depth. But you can add quite a bit of bracing with only maybe 1" extra depth. 

 

Anyway, I'd be super confident in this design. Exactly what Skar calls for. Oh....... but would you consider yourself more of a "LOUD" bass guy ? ...or a DEEP bass guy ? Skar recommends a 31 hz tuning.... which is pretty darn low (and would feel really good ;) ) ....but if you lean towards more loud and obnoxious (:) lol) you could tune it to say 34 or 35 for a few extra dB's, but at a small cost to depth, and air movement.

 

This program is pretty cool, and free. It has a few little things that bug me, but generally speaking, it works well, and is pretty straight forward..... in case you want to play with it yourself.

PS, No matter what you decide, I highly recommend that you make a cardboard mock up of the exact same size as the plans call for, to make absolutely sure it will go in, and fit well, and clear your trunk hinges and such BEFORE committing. Oh, also, on those board cuts that end in .74.... .75 is close enough :) Don't want to screw the lumbar yard guys all up :) lol

 

PPS,  Important ! For whatever dumb reason, it would not let me add a double thick baffle ? But if you go with this plan, you would need one extra board of 40" x 18" (not 40 x 16.5... as it will lay over the whole front, including the joints at the top and bottom)

 

I think if you give this thing 2500 or 3000 watts, it will slap ;)

Thank you so much for helping me out. Thanks for making the box for me. Now I’m researching Skar’s SVR, EVL or Soundqubed HDS3.1? All within budget bass balling. I’m really liking this one. https://soundqubed.com/product/hds3-1-series-subwoofer/

 

PS: I am more for deep bass with a touch of loud, obnoxious.😂

Ha 😀 lol Me too !

 

Hey if go with another sub, you can always use that box building program I linked to.... And if it gives you any problems, just let me know. That stuff I posted didn't take too much time it work.

I could do that again with different subs if you needed me too.
