hk-renob Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 i dont know if this is the right spot for this but im looking to do a big build when i get out of boot camp. I just want to get a full idea of what im doing before im looking at all the stuff. I want to build a ported box for four 18''s and want to know what the different styles are and opotions i could go with. the car is a 99 ml320 mercedes benz suv. {dont want to do a wall} any advise would be great thanks. O ya the subs are RE MTs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlo Stanfield Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 If you wanna put 4 18s in that vehicle then you're gonna have to take out the back seats anyways. The cargo area is not very big to begin with, it would be a tight fit to do 2 15s in proper airspace in the back. Quote 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer... New setup, old ride...

skittlesRgood Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) o ya i planned on it, im going all the way. all the way huh? so you have an HO alt picked out? what batteries are you going with? how many runs of power and ground? what size wire? are you ok with the subs tearing apart your car? cause they will break stuff. not trying to badger you, just want to make sure you know about the electrical side. since you only have 15 posts i just assume your relatively new to car audio. when it comes to a setup like this, its not so much about what type of box. its more about what can fit. ill guess you wont have much other choice than to go subs up, port up. use a lot of bracing. use a few pieces all thread. id go more into it but its late and im tired.

I will say no, but i do know that yes i need all of these things multiple batteries, and multiple alts. ya subs up but i was thinking port to hatch? and ya i know it will kill my car. but truth be told the car is already going. im going to brace the hell out of it, but u see this is the type of feed back i want. All those are still unanswered questions. and buy the way post mean nothing, only that u have been on the forum for some time. and ya i would say im new to car audio im only on my 3rd system and i have a lot to learn about going big. But if u are willing share some wisdom with me. thats why im on here. looking for those guys that have years under there belts for advise.

korey_hofer Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I would make your box 20ft before port and tune around 35hz for those subs mt's like the smaller boxes Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme.
