dunkoholic Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Allright, I'm gonna go ahead and start this tread and do all the work myself since everyone at my area try's to jack me for a simple custom box.. I'm no pro at this, so I could use all the help i can get! Never made a box in my life, so this might get ugly!! So don't laugh at me. Also, I want to thank Foreverbumpn for always answering my newbie questions.. Here's my current ghetto set up, I'm gonna try to fix it up a bit... Here's the ghetto set up now. For now, I'm gonna make a simple sealed box. Here, I made a model box out of a U-haul cardboard box , just to make sure it will fit in my trunk!!

dunkoholic Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Finished the box and I got the speaker on and got it all wired up and ready to see what it sounds like... Yeah, I know, I fu@ked up on the box I didn't fell like running to homedepot to buy a new wood so this will do for now... I just wanted to see what a sealed box would sound like!! After playing a couple of songs, my old set up, ( the two separate ported box was a lot louder) than this sealed box....

dunkoholic Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 So, It sounds like it wants to release the air out so i was thinking of putting some ports. What size tube ports and how many should i put? and i was thinking of putting the ports through the arm rest, or should i fire it through the rear deck? Should I do 2 tube ports and what size? Here's a quick photoshop with the 2 tube ports... 4 tube ports and what size?

Got_Bass89 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Are both your seperate boxs the same? Just push them together and make it look like one then hide all your wires and mount the amp... Those boxs look about the right size just donno what they tuned to...
