-Hobby- Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I didnt take any picts of the redo, just have another with grill cover on it. I use the online calculator Here to get my recommended port areas and lengths. I havent messed with DC subs so I will leave those recommendations to the experts. If you need a big aero just get some Sonotube from HomeDepot. Dont know if you have seen one of those Sonotube sub enclosures or not but you ought to search them up. I have never heard one in person but most everyone that has built one seemed pleased with them. Just a 12 dia tube 4-6 feet tall with a sub installed in the bottom basically. A little more work than that but you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea i was thinking about a sonotube enclosure... so how do you cap the ends?? just make 2 round mdf cutouts to plug it then just glue andscrew the mdf through the tube from the outside ? using a few 1x2 braces to brace and hold the 2 pieces together on the inside?

loganberry Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 i say do it!!! i made a box for a lvl 2 10" under our tv stand firing up port towards us tuned to 45hz and it sounds freakin great!! its ran off a older sony 150w plate amp and it gets loud enough to knock shit off the walls but it still crazy accurate Quote My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats basically what I saw people doing. But with an additional piece of MDF used as a base with dowels or brackets holding the tube up. The sub firing into the base. A lot of the tubes were carpeted and looked pretty good. Some were down right impressive. Heres a page with some good picts of one ..... sonosub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCA Rusty Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 weve had a fed people do ht with our subs, I even got to listen to one of them, 2 LV315s in a down fire, I was happy with it =] Quote DC AUDIO Phone Number 1(855)SPL-DBZZ Built by Competitors, for Competitors.

40nBelow09 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 i would love to try a sonotube, well 2 in this case, but with the amp i would be getting the easiest and best way for this would be a nice 4cf enclosure around 20-22 hz... with an aero or 2.... Is there a good box calculator on here, just want to do a little plotting to see what im looking at for size / port area etc Quote 2- DC Lvl 3 12's Memphis mc1000d 146.2 TL , (7-4-09) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirill007 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Instead of a sonotube, you could make a tline, almost the same. Tune the tline to the fs from the sub, and it will go low and high without any problems, i have a tline, and it's nutz. Tline's aren't that hard to build, look at the stickied topic here on SMD.

dr hypothesis Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Glad to see sonotubes mentioned in here. It's the type of sub I have. www.svsound.com I picked it up when this company was just starting to take off. They look like they're doing really awesome now. They make some killer subs, albeit pretty damn expensive.
