How to make the most out of my subs

Recommended Posts

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

Net is how much volume you have AFTER you take away how much will be displaced by anything inside the box. (subs, port, bracing, 45's)

gross is the outside dimensions

net is inside dimension - all displacements

Does that look right?? Heres the dimensions

39.25 wide including the port and mdf in the middle

13.5 tall

16.5 deep

If I am right that should be 1.7 cubic feet per sub. Does the design look right..is there anything I am missing, I am new to box building so this will be my first is there anything I can do to make this better? Please any and all input is appreciated

Edit: It was made on paint so its not the best pic but i think it gets the point across

You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

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:

How do I calculate the internal volume of an enclosure?

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.

Thanks for the links brother. Someone else may not appreciate it but I sure do.
