siucsaluki11 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 So ive seen a few people put bracing in their ports. Does this affect tuning? I am looking at doing 2 15s sometime this year, then going to 4 15s. For the 4 15s i would run subs and port up, will post sketchup drawings in a second. I was lookin at LVL4 15s. Was going to give them about 3 cubes each (what it says on the website) tuned to 30 Hz. The box will be 38w*35d*25.75 tall (2x baffle on top) For bracing i would use some 1" dowel rods. But i was also wondering about bracing inside the port. The port on this box is 5" * 33.5". I was thinkin of using some dowel rod to brace the inside of the port too, pics up soon woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

Nightshade Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 You'll be fine bracing in the port like that. It doesn't take up very much airspace so it's not a big deal. If you were trying to brace it with 2X4's then I'd say that you may have a problem, but dowel rod is a great brace to use. I actually prefer dowel rod over pretty much anything excpet maybe threaded rod. You really can't use threaded rod to brace a port, well you can but it would be a pain in the ass. 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siucsaluki11 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 this build wont happen for a while, but if a friend should ask me to make a box for them or somethin, id hate to do something like this and have it fuck up the box. Im thinkin 4 LVL4 15s, (designed a box for 2 also) probably start at 2 then save up for 2 more. woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...
