andym85 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 might also wanna try building a new box with subs on passenger side, and port on drivers side... Quote i likes me some audio stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raytard Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 knock a few inches off the port sprayfoam around box if you didnt already deaden the roof (sure it flexes alot, flexing=lost pressure) try dumb stuff like sliding the passenger seat all the way forward, taking out headrests, flipping sunshades down, closing ac vents, running ac before the run to cool the car down and make the air denser, etcetc.... sometimes dumb stuff makes a difference, some guy taped pvc cut in half ontop of his box and gained .2db, and lost it if he took it off, it just made it .2db louder for no good reason Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77-AUDIO Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Big 3 done while back. I guess I need a box design that fits within the 36x36x15 area that I have. But going that big will require that it be built in the car. I really want both worlds a daily and a fart box for comps. I know that the last comp I went to they said I was optimal at 51 htz is that the tuning frequency of the car and will that help build an spl setup. And I would also like it to be able to be tuned for daily/ music as well. I have to get this done by the end of October. And does a carpeted box take away from spl.

And does a carpeted box take away from spl. most cars resonate frequency is around 45-55hz from what i know. now if you make a box with your tuning frequency, around 51hz which is tuned very high, you can only listen to a few songs, i would re-tune your box to 44 hz, or make a spl box that will be tuned to 49 hz. Because im sure right now the box you have plays music very well.

raytard Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 honestly, most "preloaded" boxes are tuned to 40 hz (every kicker, rockford p series, and mtx thunder...we had a slow day so i crunched some numbers) that being said, as long as you're careful and not playing like chopped and screwed music at full blast, even going as high as 40hz is "usable" for daily. if your car resonates at 51 that means your box is probably going to end up being 45-51hz optimally. the best bet is to build a box with a removable port (a lot of guys have done it if you need pics or ideas how to accomplish it) where one port is more sq oriented and tuned lower, while the other is tuned higher. this is all an imperfect science, so the best way to figure out what tuning is right is by trial and error, make the box, make the port longer than necessary, and run a sweep or two, chop a half inch off, repeat...untill the score starts dropping Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77-AUDIO Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Raytard, Could you give me a couple of box ideas that would fit within 36 wide, 36 deep, 15 tall. I really want my subs and vent to face into the cabin of the car. I also would like a port that is for burps, and one thats for music.
