97SSBlazer Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 My I want a box geared towards hair tricks and overall just being LOUD. i have a Rockford t1500.1 with around 2000 RMS at 2ohms. I know that large port area help with this but what do you guys think? They are def. loud but i think they could use more port area. specs now. 16.5 X 38 X 21 using .75 MDF port 15 X 3 X 12.75 deep Thanks for your time. lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz. -= 2005 Tahoe LT =-Head unit: Pioneer AVH-X5500BHSSource: iPad Mini in dash Subs: 2 T1 12's Sub Amp: T1500-1bdCPWire: Rockford Fosgate 1/0 awgSignal Cable: MonsterFronts:Stock Bose for now:)Rears: Stock Bose for now:)MIds/High amp: Stock Bose for now:) 2005 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/172529-2005-tahoe-my-17th-vehicle/ 2001 Monte Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/160030-2001-monte-carlo-my-16th-car-lol/page-2#entry25309381997 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemead...oe-6-15-rf-15s/2001 Impala Build Log: http://www.stevemead...katzkin-inside/

kentb Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 you should try using flared ports. they work really good, plus, you can experiment on tuning easily New System 2 10" Fi SSD, Sundown 1500d Build I build and design enclosures(cheap price), PM ME Kicker L7 Navigator(plexiglass, fiberglass, aeroport) Build BTL 18" Escalade(plexiglass, battery tray) Build http://www.kentbaudio.com Old System

97SSBlazer Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Posted September 4, 2009 what about tuning? alpine said 30HZ but i think that is to low. lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz. -= 2005 Tahoe LT =-Head unit: Pioneer AVH-X5500BHSSource: iPad Mini in dash Subs: 2 T1 12's Sub Amp: T1500-1bdCPWire: Rockford Fosgate 1/0 awgSignal Cable: MonsterFronts:Stock Bose for now:)Rears: Stock Bose for now:)MIds/High amp: Stock Bose for now:) 2005 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/172529-2005-tahoe-my-17th-vehicle/ 2001 Monte Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/160030-2001-monte-carlo-my-16th-car-lol/page-2#entry25309381997 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemead...oe-6-15-rf-15s/2001 Impala Build Log: http://www.stevemead...katzkin-inside/

aznboi3644 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 After playing with my Type R 15 I would suggest atleast 4 cu ft per sub with a lot of port area tuned low. atleast 100 sq in of port. I had one in a daily box that pounded super hard. 4.3 cu ft tuned to 40Hz with 112.5 sq in of port area...sounded good too
