BlockShaker Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) I wanted to have a box that can be both sealed and ported at the same time so I came up with this idea. I can have the 8 - 15s sealed or whenever I can take 2 out and have 6-15s ported. The enclosure is about 18-19cuft. The two ports I made are tuned at about 33-34 hz. It sounds pretty decent.

07mazda3s Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Thats pretty sweet. Which way do you like better? Quote Power Acoustik fubar 12 sony xploding amp 2 ft^3 box @ 35hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlockShaker Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Thats pretty sweet. Which way do you like better? For these subs, I think sealed sounds better. Maybe ported if I had a 24 cuft enclosure.

07mazda3s Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 For these subs, I think sealed sounds better. Maybe ported if I had a 24 cuft enclosure. Really? I'm surprised to hear that. Why? Do you lose all the SQ with the ports in or what? Quote Power Acoustik fubar 12 sony xploding amp 2 ft^3 box @ 35hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big is the difference in sound/output does the 2setups have???? It was louder when it was sealed. The enclosure is just not big enough to be ported with 6-15s. I was just curious to hear what it sounded like if I ported it. Thanks for the compliment. Maybe in the near future I can get new subs and new amps. I found this forum after I built and bought everything. I wonder what subs I'm looking at? haha Thanks Steve!!!

BlockShaker Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) Really? I'm surprised to hear that. Why? Do you lose all the SQ with the ports in or what? It had great sound quality when it was sealed. It was very sloppy when it was ported. My last set up was ported and it had good sound quality. It was worth a try though.

07mazda3s Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hey based on your crazy ass box you know a shitload more about subs and what not than me, but I think that could sound completely different if you built ports with more port area if thats possible w/ your setup? I just know that for such a huge box w/ such extremely low port area it prob would sound a little funny. Have you thought about trying some ports that are a little more proportional to the box? Just an idea. Quote Power Acoustik fubar 12 sony xploding amp 2 ft^3 box @ 35hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an idea. I didn't want to get too carried away with the port building. I'm not that good with building ports, but I'm pretty good at building sealed enclosures. I just learned the hard way. Plus the subs I have don't move that much air and if I build bigger ports the box volume would of dropped. There isn't enough volume to begin with.
