95_1500 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Rusty has had good results with the lv4XL 15's anywhere between 3 -5 ft^3 and i know the 15" displaces right about .2 maybe a little more.

Nightshade Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 60sqin for a single 15 is kind of high if you're trying to achieve superb low end response. Don't change the box size that sounds about just right, but maybe try 3 4" aeroports. You'll find that they're much easier to tune and will give you a little less port area which will help. 3 4" will be the same as 37.5sqin of port area and is more than enough to get you where you are gonna need to be. The only slight problem with this is that the ports are gonna have to be a bit on the long side. 26" to be exact, but I'm sure that if you were to use a slot it would be way longer than that since there's more surface area to the port that you mentioned. It's just an idea I thought I'd throw out there for you from experience. You don't have to use it at all. Also if you wanted to cut down on some of the port length you could just make the box a little bit bigger. That may not be an option though. 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
