stevh0 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 Got me a Toyota starlet Gt hatch , and decided to slap 4 15's in there im making one big ass common enclosure for all four woofers with alot of bracing . Woofers will face up and i was suggested to port to the rear but the rear slot would almost be against the rear trunk lid , and i think it would most certainly effect the tuning . now with the port length .. going to tune around the 35hz slot port going horizontally at the bottom of the box . the length is 31" but unsure about what the width should be ? 31" wide and 2 " high suggests a port factor around 20 . would 4 x Svc's (600Rms) would 2" have to much port noise? Help please
Slinky Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 i would not make your port like that. make it as square as possible. ex: 8x10. not 2 by 30 . (dont use those measurements, that just an example) also, you want a little room from the port to the trunk back too. give it a few inches and youll be good. i know its hard fittin 4 15's in there!

stevh0 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Posted April 18, 2007 i see what you are getting at , Should the port hit to back however , i know steve runs most his stuff to the back with the woofers up , and then there are ppl running the woofers and ports up .
Slinky Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 Yeah its called a crx box. subs up port back is def a loud way to do it.

sean 371 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 In that small of a car, I'd port upwards for sure. That way you can build all the way to the back hatch. A couple links to some box builds: Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI, Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150 My own car builds (current setup --- under construction): Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors Subwoofer Wall
stevh0 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Posted April 19, 2007 okay , so now some say up and some back .. what would be the best way for that maximum shake .
Forevrbumpn Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 isnt that car small, like REALLY small? like MiniCooper small? if so, just wall it, or clamshell it, screw the back hatch area I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
Slinky Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 Absolutely, if your willing to give up your rearview mirror like i did, its well worth wallin it!!!!!!!!

stevh0 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Posted April 19, 2007 yeah its tiny , can u elaborate on the clamshell . lol first time ive heard of it ? my plan is to flap the back seats fwd and drop in a mother of a box from the back of the hatch to the back of the seats . im using low powered woofers so my box space does not need to be overly huge .
stevh0 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Posted April 19, 2007 who needs rear views!! nah , seriously i dont want to wall it , thats way too much effort into a car that i could just take a hour to rip all the crap out again if i needed to .
