bombout800 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I need some help on the design of an enclosure. I know the space is tight but it can be done. Let me know if anyone can help. I was told to get somewhere around 3 cubes. Im only going to be throwing at most 2000 watts rms. Quote 03 350Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 3 cubes is probably a little bit large for a 9512. I run my 9515 in about 3.5 although I have a lot of power on it... Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also sound great in them. I wont be running a whole ton of power. Therefore, i will need a more efficient box with really nice port area. I was going to go somewhere around 3 cubes and 60sq in of port for a vent and around 50sq in for a aero. Quote 03 350Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should i go take a picture and just put arrows showing the dimension. I have a lot of space to work with but everything is going to have to be split up. Either the box will have to split to go under the brace in the back or down into the spare tire area. Quote 03 350Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone I know was running 2 9512's in 0.9 cubes each, ported. Doing 153dB legal... They love port area, not big boxes. Big boxes = slam the cone into the spider landing, there's a lot of DDs with smashed neck joints out there... But yes, in the scheme of things you're not running a lot of power. I would probably do ~2.5 cubes with a 6" aeroport. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, in the scheme of things you're not running a lot of power. I would probably do ~2.5 cubes with a 6" aeroport. Well i actually had a 2512 before this one and it was ran at 800 watts true rms. The box it was in was 2.77 cubic ft. with 30sq inches of port(vented) and it surprised some people, actually seemed like it was just right. I get everything your saying. A bigger box does not always mean it's going to be louder. That is NOT the case by any means. But i was told by people who have had personal experience with them. Actually told me to run them in 3 cubic ft. with 60 sq inches of port. So i was thinking a 3 cubic ft box with a single 8 inch aero 31.5 inches long. But here is the kicker. I can't find the 8inch aero anywhere! Quote 03 350Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A single 6" aero anywhere from 12-18" will do you very very nicely. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
