Jl Audio Box Build

[tomrspears]

this is my current box. it was built for 4 12w3's and 2 12w0's. i had to modify it alittle to get the w6's to fit, and i only have 4 of them powered right now.

No offense bro, but that almost looks like an abortion. If I understand this right, your mixing 2 different versions of JL's in a box that was made for 4, but you cut 2 more holes into it, to fit 2 more.....Holy Jesus....

that box was made for 6 subs just not the w6's. that is the reason i'm building a new box.

need some help. this box i'm building i got the ports made for two chambers but i'm having problems with the third one. i called jl again today and he told 40 sqare inches is what 2 12w6's require. but he is very insistant on it being 30''s long. but i can not get it to fit in my third chamber. my third chamber is a wedge type. with the dimensions he gave me with the port in there i will not be able to fit both subs. any help on this please.made some progress on it today. still a long way to go with it

where are you trying to put the other port? Just put it with all the other ports, there has to be enough room if the others fit in that orientation

the chambers are different shape. two are rectangle and one is wedge style.

That doesn't seem like enough port area to me. And that seems like it would be a really low tuning imo.

40^2in for 3 cubic foot doesn't seem like enough port area? :01nocomment8so:

design fail

I've done it 400 times
