Enclosure Option For A Pair Of Dc Level4 18's


Recommended Posts

How much did you pay for your subs? I emailed rusty but he's prolly bussy finishing lvl 5's.

You've got a PM

2007 Chevy Suburban LT1

Pioneer AVH 5700 DVD

Diamond Audio D3 6 1/2 components

Kicker 06ZX650.4 amp

Kicker 06ZX2500.1 (x 2)

DC Sound Lab Level 4 18's with Level 5 coils

Autotek Mean Machine 400.1D (replaced)

Soon to come:

rims

body kit

flow master pipes

Confuscious say "he who say it can't be done shouldn't be bothering man busy doing it"

Now feel free to go crawl back under that rock and leave this to the professionals....

The airspace for both subs is in the middle, meaning that the air pressure from each sub is cancelling out when it gets to the port. You honestly would have a better, more efficient box setup with ports on opposites sides. That box design alone is probably costing you 5-8db easy.

Thanks for the advise. I will try to come up with another design later on tonight.

So you're saying the design with the port in the middle is more efficient than my L-shaped design that I have?

I believe he was talking about my design with the port in the middle between the two subs.

Ok here we go. This is my third redention of this box. This time I did dual ports on the side of the box. I had to adjust the depth just a bit from 24 to 25.5 inches. Let me know what you guys think. I've got Monday off and I want to get my build on :D

So my new numbers are 24H x 49W x 25.5D. Top and bottom are double 3/4 MDF while the front, back and sides are single 3/4 MDF.

The ports are 2.5W x24D x 10H.

Is this true? If so is it really 5-8db? 5 to 8 seems awful high to me even if it is inefficient.

Rebuild coming soon

Make sure you put a divider in the middle. The airspace shouldn't be shared for optimum efficiency. Everything else I like. :D
