Cantrell2500HD Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Alright, I came up with a new box design. I measured my truck and this every bit space I have available. I drew it up on CAD before I calculated volume, and to see where I stand without the little pot holes in the bottom I just did it as if I had a flat bottom, and havent done it for the pot holes yet. Anyway, without the pot holes at the bottom, I came up with something like.... 3.8894ft3. A few questions pop up while looking at these figures: 1) Kicker manual says I need 1.75ft3, Do I need EXACTLY that much or can I go a bit over or under? 2) Lastly, for now, If I wanted to make it a round port, is it as simple as just figuring the sq inches then moving them over to a length of round port with the same internal volume? I came up with something like 59.32" long at 4" diameter, sound about right? I always read on here people saying "Ask questions, thats what the site is for" so we'll see how that works out. Any help would be welcomed and appreciated. Thanks!! Alright, I've included a few pics and a vid for better visualization for those who care. It's unfinished btw, I didn't draw some of the internals cause it's a real pain... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYjrrDCvwJk Edited August 21, 2009 by Cantrell2500HD Quote 03' Reg Cab 2500HD Alpine 9807 H/U Infinity Ref 6.5" Front Speakers Pioneer 4"x6" Rear Speakers Quantum Audio 1100.1 Amp PPI 5 Channel Amp Kicker 05' S12L5's <~ thats plural baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 you could port it externally and just have a smaller box and run hella power to compensate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantrell2500HD Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Well now I'm glad I didnt rush off and build it, I re worked the design and saw I could have gotten a little more space outa it.
