Stay with wall or back to box


Recommended Posts

So if i redo the front of the wall and retune it, would it be better if the port was on the top instead of the bottom?

No port on bottom is better imo, every wall I have done the numbers were better on bottom. As for pics of mine, I don't have any on this computer but its fairly simple. 2 subs on top 2 on bottom with port on driver side.

Head Unit: Pioneer DEH-P6000UB

Sub Amp:American Bass VFL 500.1

Subs: 4 Fi BL 18's

Enclosure:21.5 Cubic foot flat wall tuned to 40 hz

Batteries: 3 Kinetik 2400's in the back, Kinetik 1200 under hood.

Mids & Highs: 4 Kicker DS 6.5 coax in doors, 2 Kicker DS coax in pillars

Highs Amp: Kicker kx250.2, kx100.2

Wire: 4 Runs 1/0 gauge Knukonceptz

Yep the traditional 'numbers' setup is subs passenger side port drivers side.

You can tune fairly high and still hammer the lows with a wall - because you're reducing the cabin volume so much the subs (and port) will load off the air in the cabin which will help control excursion and let them play below free-space tuning. Remember that you can usually play like 5hz under 'tuning' once you put the enclosure in the car, even more so with walls because of what I outlined above... same goes for small hatches with lots of cone area. I would tune in the high 30's if you want daily performance and better scores on the meter.
