95_1500 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 I wanted some of the more experienced designers feedback on this. My dimensions are VERY strict so this is about the best i can come up with. Specs: 6.24 ft^3 after port displacement ~32 hz 98 in ^2 port area (7 wide x 14 tall) 34" long port This is for two 15s inverted My one real question is that when you have a 7"wide port to the back then split it off to both sides in half the width (3.5 in my case). You have to double the length right because you have half the area. Like for instance it is 34" long and the 7" section is 12.5" and each 3.5" one is 21.5". So if im correct it is the 3.5 wide sections x 2 gives you the area of the 7" at a length of 21.5 and then that + 12.5 = the 34" i need right? Sorry so wordy Original Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=24095
Decaf Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 should be ok...might not be ideal make the port width smaller and use the entire height or make a port on top and bottom... to keep same sqin/cuft the entire enclosure might not be utlilized by the sub since theres so much below the sub and port it might "see" or "think" there's less volume, which would then throw off tuning depends on whether the back of the box is flat or contoured in some way to the vehicle with fg
95_1500 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Posted December 6, 2008 This shows why the port has to be at the top like it is so the back wall of the cab doesnt interfere too much with airflow. Edited bc i didnt have a clear pic of the final install so i just put it on here instead of the build link. Original Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=24095
95_1500 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Posted December 6, 2008 Or one other option is to just invert the new subs. The reason im thinking about rebuilding is because the new subs have a MUCH larger magnet and mounting depth so they would hit the bottom the box at the angle they are right now. Do you guys think the magnets being up high would interfere a lot since they would be in front of the port if i use the current box?

Decaf Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 should be ok...might not be ideal well can u lower the subs.... make the wall flat, not angled... and do the port like in the pic above... then ud be much better off imo
95_1500 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Posted December 6, 2008 Appreciate it. Im probably going to just stick with the box now, invert the new subs and see how i like it. To save myself some unnecessary building. If its not up to par in my opinion then i will probably build a new box. Original Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=24095
