Cantrell2500HD Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) So I keep trying to see if this box is port-able, and everytime I do it it doesnt come out right. So maybe I'm doin it wrong or maybe it just ain't ment to be ported. Let me know what y'all think. Let me know what y'all think about it guys, I would appreciate any help y'all could throw my way on this one.

shainemcconnell Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) i would either port it along the bottom. going maybe the full width of the box or even the top facing forward. pot with the port right againest the back of the seat, might not realy be the best but as for useing that box and not building a new one, IMO will probably not work Edited August 16, 2009 by shainemcconnell Quote 2010 IDBL Rookie 1 North American Champion 2009 IDBL Rookie 1 Fl State Champion 2009 EBB Fly Weight 3rd Place Fl State Finals 2006 Silver Grand Prix GXP :Diablo Audio Hellfire 1000.1, JL Audio 300/4, One 13W7, ZR650, VR690, JL Cleansweep setup.

Basshead08 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Is 2.625 cu ft your internal volume? If so then that box isn't big enough to go ported. Minimum recommended ported enclosure is 1.75 cubes per sub.

zfrerichs Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 you could port it externally and just have a smaller box Quote Roseville, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricR Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 yea either leave it sealed or build a new box, that one is too small to be ported Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

Cantrell2500HD Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 yea either leave it sealed or build a new box, that one is too small to be ported Yep, plan is to build a new one, save this one incase the next one comes out crappy (which it probably will, cause I've never built a ported box and still don't fully understand how to make the ports) Kicker says each sub needs 1.75ft3 (that accounts for sub displacement aswell), so 3.5ft3 for both. This box is already 2.678, and I'm sure I can squeeze .822 somewhere, but the port displacement is gonna make it feat to leave me with some leg room.... I'll start on a new box design tomorrow, and see if it will work, if it looks like it's plausible (Thank you Myth Busters) then I'll take lots o' pics and start a new topic in the builds section. Those with reg cab trucks check back soon! Well really, everyone check back so y'all can give me some tips and tricks as I work my way through it!!!
