I know how to run the wire and hook it up when it comes to the technical finess stuff Im lost lol i know what you mean. well i mean like i said you can wing it and make a guess but you run a high risk of it not sounding right if you don't know for sure. to figure ports and stuff to get the best sound quality you really need to know what its tuned at. or at least close to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also how do you figure out what a box you make yourself is tuned to.

I paid no attention to that I just went to home depot and bought some mdf made some measurements so i would have just over a cubic foot and threw it together well under the seats you'd have to put them facing the back of the front seats but the center box you could do it pretty much wherever you want. i'm not real sure how to tune to boxes but i know once you know there are formulas to figure out your ports. you schould check out the12volt.com and look under calculators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just wanna know everyone thinks porting my boxes will make it noticeably louder? anyone know if this sounds right, i went to the12volt and checked the port calculator. Gave my box size I will probably use 1.5 inch pvc because i have a bunch of it kickin around in my shed and it asks for the desired tuning frequency so I tried out 38 hz and 40 hz for the dual box it was saying about 2.5'' long and the single box just over 1.5'' long 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared420 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 yeah i can't find anything about them. is best buy really the only place around that does audio? Yea within like an hour of me theres a couple best buys. there used to be 2 tweeters but they went bankrupt and there a little audio place in a ghetto part of a small city next to my town but they carry like lightning audio and dual maybe sony xplods so i dont think i trust them either its just a tiny hole in the wall place 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you secure the port into the box would liquid nails or apoxy work? 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
