How to make the most out of my subs

Recommended Posts

You are going to be very disappointed if you get a prefab ported box as they are not design with Alpine type Rs soley in mind.

All woofers are different so therefore on average, all ported boxes will be different for different woofers.

Dude I haven't said a negative thing to you in your other threads and haven't bashed you either.

Just like I can't use my ported box designed for a 10 inch L7 with a 10 inch Rockford HX2. Made a baffle and tried it and it just didn't work.

Prefab ported box is the worst idea a person could have man. Sorry.

Man you lack so much knowledge on how all this stuff works that you really need to concentrate on educating yourself. I mean you are not even to the point to where you should be asking questions yet. We have so much info in the subwoofer section for you to read just so you could atleast get you into the Noob catagory but at the moment you are not even able to call yourself a noob man.

Don't be offended and nothing I said is negative. I'm just trying to get you on the rite track so when you really want to learn people will take you seriously when you ask questions.

I deal with Kicker and if you would like some links to ported box design to read through I will link them for you. I know your not useing Kicker but there is alot of info about ported boxes that apply to the general use of a ported box.

Let me know but for know I need to run out to the barn and cut some wood for one of my projects and will be back in a few minutes.

Okay..I was hoping no one would bring up the old posts lol..i have read through them and I have my own plan on what I am going to do..and the only reason I am going with the SMD members is some have had long term experience with these so I am hoping they have figured out what the best thing for me to do is..and my plan

1 See what I get for Christmas

2 If I dont get a ported box I will make one in shop class

3 If I do get the money I plan on buying another type r and doing another box and if i really get the money adding either another amp or a bigger one..My parents arnt buying anything except for christmas stuff okay?

Read the bold part again.

How could the SMD members know more about Alpine Type Rs than Alpine man?

Unfortunetly I don't know how to link PDFs but I'll get you close.

To start your owners manual:

http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/p...ng=en&tab=F

On the right hand side click on Reference Guide and thats your manual. In there you will find your box designs.]

Kicker white papers and this will give you some basic rules when building slot loaded ported boxes and you don't need to read everything just the basic stuff on building slot ported boxes.

http://www.kicker.com/Product_Manuals/93/100

Follow this link and find the topic that says 2004 Solo-Baric L7 Technical Manual Version 3.0 (01/01/2004).

Start on page 11 skip pages 12 and 13 and pic back up reading on page 14.

Good reading:

Heres a little reading to start off with and there is more in this forum you just need to look it up man. We have a search engine and a whole subwoofer section here.

Edit: let me be the first one to say that there is better reading material out there. This is just stuff I knew how to get to quickly.

I do have a question..what is the difference between gross internal volume and net internal volume? I'm reading the manual for my sub and it says 1.7 ft^3 gross internal volume and 1.3 ft^3 net internal volume?? What should I go by for box size
