pk222 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) hey guys, I'm thinking of getting a budget sub just for a couple months until I can get what I really want and I was thinking of a single type r 12. Eventually I want an fi q. This will be going in my 95 mustang so theres not that much trunk space. I was told to go around 2.5 cubes ported to 34 hz. does this sound right for this sub? The design I'm looking at is sub back slot ported back. The measurements are 25 w/ 13 h/ 20 d. so I should have around 2.3 cubes. The total port length is 28.5 in by 3 in wide and the port area is 34.5 in. and the calculator I'm using says this should be around 34.5 hz. Does this sound like a good design to you guys? If you have any other ideas I'm open to anything I just need to make sure it will fit in my car. This will be the first real ported box I have built. I tried one other time and it didn't end up bad but it was just ported with an abs pipe as an aero port and port area wasn't even considered so I'd really like to do it right this time. I'm using the re enclosure calculator and I've heard sometimes this is a little off but it was the best I could find without downloading something. thanks in advance for any help Edited June 23, 2009 by pk222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 that box is fine. 2.5cuft is pretty much an average number for alot of the 12" subwoofers out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk222 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 does that sound like the right tuning, port area and dimensions? like I stated above I've heard the re enclosure calculator has had problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loudintha509 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 does that sound like the right tuning, port area and dimensions? like I stated above I've heard the re enclosure calculator has had problems If i where you I wolud sell the type r's before you blow them, what amp are you going to run. I had two in a ported box of a pheonix gold xenon x1200.1. Not a big amp power wise and it blew them. Quickly. :censored: Quote I wish every body had beat so I wouldnt have to turn my shit down.

Guest Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 does that sound like the right tuning, port area and dimensions? like I stated above I've heard the re enclosure calculator has had problems you got enough port area. the dimensions are up to you, since i dunno how big your trunk is. and its tuned fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
