Decaf Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) just wondering if there are any (dis)advantages to either sub placement please excuse my horrible paint skills... i tried using google sketchup but i cant save it in a form photobucket uses im such a noob when it comes to some computer shit this is what i have now but im wondering if its better to use the placement below does #2 utilize the air better or worse? the lines represent the length of the port after the 90 degree bend Edited October 7, 2008 by decafcappucino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96saturnsl Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 dont use the side of the box for the side wall of your port. when the other side stops, the wall of the box will continue to be the wall of the port a lil longer than the other side of the port. and ur tuning wont be dead on like u want it to be.

Decaf Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 i know that... im not concerned with tuning... moreso will one design over the air make the sub see less internal volume because the moving air is either blocked or not blocked by the rear port wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 hmmm...i think i might say the second design. you wanna keep the sub furthest away from the port opening as you can, and the second design makes it look like the air has to go through the box more before it hits the port opening moreso than the first.

Pitbullx Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 dont use the side of the box for the side wall of your port. when the other side stops, the wall of the box will continue to be the wall of the port a lil longer than the other side of the port. and ur tuning wont be dead on like u want it to be. use the end correction formula and tuning will be dead on.... subtract 1/2 of the ports width from the length of the port and voila :hairtrick: Quote Team Devastation Mixed Martial ArtsMachado Brazilian JiujitsuOnce I lock it on there's no escape I don't train to make you tap, I train to tear your arm, leg, or head off.

Decaf Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 good advice but i know that... and its accounted for in amatts spreadsheet lets rearrange the question so which in between these two... i thought it would be obvious to pick A since its farthest away from port... so even if the port was shorter it should still go in a, unless the port has no bend in which case it would go in b... right?

andym85 Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 if that is the port opening on the left hand side, then i would go with the first pic....keep the sub furthest from the port as possible...i mean i dont think there is gonna be a huge differece in either one, but from my limited experience, and what i have heard from others, numbers will go up a tad with the sub furthest away from the port as possible...

Decaf Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 sub furthest away from port on the baffle since its port back sub back or furthest away from port entrance/exit inside box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
