Darksideofsound Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 ok, I have a 2006 dodge magnum wagon, I have 2 12" solo x's, and I'm gonna get the box as close to 12 cubic foot as possible(gonna be ported), and I am not sure which way to face the subs to get the best numbers. right now I have one in a 6 ft box, and it is facing up to the roof, and so is the port....it sounds good, but when I face it forward it sounds like crap....shouldn't it sound better?

Darksideofsound Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 yea i just seen that. if i remember right kicker recomends 3cubes max according to kickers website..... Model: S10X S12X VentedSUV (TheOneToDo) 4.91 ft3 (139L) + port displacement, Fb=45Hz Port: 60 in2 (387cm2) area x 8.75” (22.2cm) long Power Handling = 1500W Peak 6 ft3 (170L) + port displacement, Fb=45Hz Port: 60 in2 (387cm2) area x 6” (15.2cm) long Power Handling = 2000W Peak I did the one for the 12".

Bunker Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 This is somethings we do. We will take a sealed box and turn it all over the place to get our peak and to see which way the sub was facing when it got the highest numbers. Then after we know our peak we build a box with a removable port for the peak hz'z, then go back through all the setups before and get what we can get and then we would build a final box. It takes time but it's worth it in the end.
