Marlo Stanfield Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Put it in the port. lolDont see any problem. Just when building the box, account for the space being taken up. People strap their amps to boxes all the time. Just throw rubber spacers in between the amps... I can't tell if you're being serious or what, but i really hope you're not being serious about it not being an issue. Yes, people do mount amps onto boxes all the time.. Is it a good idea, NO.. Simply because of the enormous vibrations that are created when the subs are creating. The electrical boards on amps aren't exactly the most indestructible things out there. I've seen it many many times that pieces break off on the boards due to this exact problem. If and only if this is a last resort for mounting the amps to the box, then double/tripple up on that certain outside wall with MDF for it to mount to. Also use some sort of rubber piece under the amp to at least absorb some of the vibrations. Quote 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer... New setup, old ride... QX56 is staying stock til I get loud...

If you put an amplifier in your port, then you will destroy any predictable flow characteristics for that port. Translation: your enclosure may sound ok, but it will almost certainly perform worse than expected with an amplifier clogging its port.

Ben Building Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Amps are square on the ends, which means that fluids, like air, will create turbulence on the low pressure side while trying to flow around it. Turbulence is the opposite of what you want inside of a port because it is so chaotic. With a turbulence-inducing shape inside, the port will behave like a much smaller port. How much smaller of a port would be virtually impossible to calculate beforehand without some serious number-crunching power. But don't take my word for it. :01nocomment8so: Build it and see for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooshort064 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) since this is a really dumb topic has anyone every lined the inside of there box with any kind of sound deadner ? it would obviously push airflow straight for the port ...but on a seriously note anyone every tried it ?

EricR Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) is this dude for real...inside of a box? Edited October 3, 2009 by EricR Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

30Hz.wav Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 just strap the dam amp on the top of the car and call it a day Ok seriously, For your kind of car, there are numerous places I can think of to put the amps. Just try to fit it in any small space, and if it fits, make it fit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
