KickerAudio21 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 first of all i'm brand new to this kickass forum I am getting 2 of the 2006 L7 15"s and I need help with the box. I will be using a hifonics brutus 1206d for each sub. My plan is to do a crx style box with both subs firing up and 4-6 aero (persicion ports) facing the tail gate. Since I have a Blazer, I need to build a ported box that will work well for that size of a vehicle. I know that if you have a really big SUV, a really big ported box will sound good, if you have a small SUV a smaller ported box will sound good..... so i was thinkin along the lines of 5 cubes per sub??? (this will be a SPL application and I wouldn't mind having a lil SQ for daily driving, but idk how realistic that is with this setup) Does anyone have any ideas of how big the boxes should be or how many, how long the aero ports should be???? any help is GREATLY appreciated Quote ------------------------------------------------- 1st place circuit city car/spl show (maplewood,MN) 2006 146.6 dB's with 2 12" L7 and 1606d brutus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLGEO Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I'd say more along teh lines of 6-10 cubics for both subs...... port length depends on the size of tehports, # of ports, size of box, and tuning frequency....... teh lower-better daily-0-- teh higher better spl Quote 1995 Geo Prism .

KickerAudio21 Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 ok, when i said about 5 cubes, that was per sub... i think kicker reccomends like 2-6 cubes per L7 And for tuning i was thinking about 42hz??? That is kinda inbetween daily and comp Quote ------------------------------------------------- 1st place circuit city car/spl show (maplewood,MN) 2006 146.6 dB's with 2 12" L7 and 1606d brutus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLGEO Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 and buy 4-6 areo portsdo you mean 4 6" areo ports? Quote 1995 Geo Prism .

KickerAudio21 Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 4 - 6 ports.... I don't know if i should buy the 3 inch wide ports or the 4 inch wide ports. I would like to use just 4 ports if it'll give me enough port lenght, becasue i'll look good, but i'll use 6 or even 8 if i have to.

KickerAudio21 Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Thx for the help, I have been building boxes a long time and can figure it out port lengths and box plans, I'm just looking for some advice on how many cubes... 9 sounds pretty good after displacement, so does 42 hz, i think i'll go with that. THis setup will bang. There's a lot of idiots up here in MN with rich ass systems and i can't wait to take them out with this setup. I know it'll be super loud. Noone realizes that the right box and the right electrical system can own just about any setup. last summer i beat a pair of 12" T2's with a RF 4000 watt power amp by at least 2 dB's with my 2 L7 12's and a bx1606d to win a comp, so i need to step it up this year so i can win again.
