Can I Turn A Seaeld Box To Ported

[99vic]

my bro n law has a sealed box for 4 10s but its huge it fits in my back seat perfect from door to door (i will have the measurements later) but . i was going to ask yesterday in grass valley but i forgot. i was wondering if i could use aeros and make it a ported box. hoping it will be louder than 2 15s.

edit: the subs are not separated they share the same chamber

EDIT im almost the measurements are 50"l 15"h 15"d and i want dc lvl310s or lvl410s

i dont want no stupid reply from the ones who dont know shit either. sorry for being rude but lately there has been some dumb asses posting nonsense im threads

here is a pic

Its possible. but you have too pretty much hope that that box is too big for them subs sealed. we would need to know how many cubic feet the box is and what kind of space those subwoofers ask for ported each.

im gettin 5 cubes for that box. and the recommended ported for both lvl 3's and lvl 4's (10's) is 1 cuft.

so that gives u another cu ft to play around wit the port (if u use 4 tens)

i say do it it should work fine

Sounds like you could make it a SPL box with the way it is. Might not be mega spl but some. might have been made to be ported but it just wasn't. Because that box is huge for 4 10's.

Are you going to put the same amount of subs back in or close off a hole or two?

Find out what the total volume you will need with the dc's (ported) and see if you can match the volume depending on how many you use. If it's close enough I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do it. Just make sure the volume is good for ported in relation to how many subs are in there.

The box is roughly 4.7 cubes assuming the wood is around an inch thick. If you went with 4 level 3's or level 4's you would need at least 4 cubes for a ported setup (according to dc soundlabs specs). On the site it's saying that on both the level 3's and 4's they require a full cube for a ported setup.

So technically if you wanted to do it I think it could work. However what kind of tuning would you be looking for?

i want to stay with 4 10s the wood is 3/4mdf my bro n law made it not knowing what he was doing he made it hella big it sounded good with the shitty subs in it but he sold them and cant sell the box so i was going to take it and see what i can do with it being that its a very strong box. but i dont know if i should just stick with my original idea and keep trying for 2 15s

3/4" ? eh, idk I'd try and add a little bracing along the long sections possibly where it could shift even just a tad.

Knowing that, the box is 5.1 cubic ft. IH8PunkRok is right, you're going to have a cube to play with still.

Dont listen to that asshat^^^^^^^ I see your still heading down the oneway street digital

if you use areo ports you could mount them to the outside of the box this way they dont take up any space on the box, it will look funny in your backseats but hell who cares as long as it pounds.
