People believe things when they hear it from reputable sources. https://ddaudio.com/subwoofer-enclosure-design-bending-the-rules-maximize-output/ the design i just posted,. its honestly the best i could do and i actually had to increase my max dimensions which will make this super tight to get in the trunk. but anyways,. take a look, do you think this design will work? its got 2.3 net, its got 36 sq inches of port and its tuned to about 32hz..

That would work. Since I factored in the impedance rise best case scenario instead of doing port velocity calculations on 2000 rms. That enclosure would work just fine. It would have good bandwidth and good output. I like it.

1point21gigawatts Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 4 minutes ago, akuma4u said: awesome, thanks <img src="> You are welcome. Question though, have you considered an aero ported enclosure? I was wanting to do a slot ported strictly spl enclosure on my application but, I decided to do a musical aero ported enclosure instead because it would have spl and be musical, have a wider bandwidth, more efficient, a better air flow and easier to design and build. Even though I could design and build a complicated and difficult enclosure, easier is always better.

Are you more geared towards a system for everyone else to hear and like or a system for you to hear and like? Which means more? thats a good question. im kinda torn between the two. however im leaning towards LOUD. I love the feeling of my face and body being impacted by the bass.. the physical sensations.

I love the feeling of my face and body being impacted by the bass.. the physical sensations. In this application since it isn’t a wall or something like that, an aero port would be louder and sound better. The ported enclosure I designed for myself was strictly spl because it was designed with a lot of port area and bandwidth wasn’t something I cared about when designing it. I could use a lot of port area in that build because the enclosure only being about 4.6 cubes after displacements on around 6000-8000 rms after rise. But I decided to change to an aero port because in most regular applications an aero port is better and louder because air flows better through a tube than a rectangle or square and the response is better because of that too. But on that spl slot ported enclosure I designed would probably be louder than the aero ported one I designed but not sound nearly as good. But when it comes to your build, an aero port is the best way to go, no doubt.

1point21gigawatts Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 I don’t even know why I asked that stupid question about what’s more important to you. I’m getting tired. Lol! I’m about to go to bed. Think about what type of enclosure you want me to draw up for you. Do some research on both and comparisons and then we can touch base tomorrow.
