Team Sundown's Charles Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Posted February 16, 2010 That's really really ironic Charles. I was just going to type that specific type of enclosure up for you to build yesterday but I had to go to work and didn't get a chance to finish. I was going to tell you 6 cubes with 3 6's tuned to 44hz though.I also reccomend that you put ports externally though. I know it will be louder that way and has helped me in the past. The box I was going to suggest was going to be a little less wide so that the subs were right up against one another and a little deeper to compensate for that difference. Also I planned on suggesting that you fire the woofers up and the ports to the driver's side of your car and move the box up further toward the front of the car out of the hatch some. I think that those things will help your numbers quite a bit on top of getting another saz3000. I'd still really like to see you become a member of Team High X-Cursion and Steve is deciding as we speak about it. He said that he'd like to see you come to a show and talk to you about it there. Since that's the case there is a show in High Point on March 21st so it would be really cool if you showed up to that one. The ports are going to be externally...lol I just put them in that way so I can take the pics. Also the box is only 20" deep and will be pushed all the way up to the amp rack, so the only part that will be in the hatch will be the port. There is no way i could of put all 3 ports to the driver side and keep the box 12 " from the roof. I don't know if i'll get everything put together by Sat but my plan is to hit 2 Street Beatz show this weekend. I 'll try very hard to get to Highpoint. I'm really ready to get some Nspl shows under my belt.That the main ORG I want to complete in. 1993 Mazda Mx-3 Subs: 2 18" DC Audio Lvl 4 D.7 Highs amp: Sundown SAX-100.4 Sub amp: Sundown SAZ-3000D Electrical:Kinetik 1200 under hood, 2-Kinetik 2400 rear All 1/0 KnuKonceptz Wire Power/Ground, Big 3, 8Ga Speaker Wire, KnuKonceptz Karma RCA's Dampening: 120sqft 80Mil Thick Sound Destroyer Mat Goal: 150 DB 149.9 Street Bass

Nightshade Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Charles try cutting a 2X4 the size of the baffle on the inside of the box and turning it on it's side so that it braces the baffle where the subs are going to be mounted to. It will give you some more strength and since you can't run a dowel from the top to the bottom cause it will hit your port that is about the only way that you'll be able to brace it. It looks good so far, hope it does what you need it to! 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz

Team Sundown's Charles Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Posted February 17, 2010 Well the box is in.....Aero ports :D :D man these thing move some air. Got some questions 1) What is the best way to seal around the ports? 2) How far should the ports be from back of the car? I'll put some numbers up tomorrow when I off work. 1993 Mazda Mx-3 Subs: 2 18" DC Audio Lvl 4 D.7 Highs amp: Sundown SAX-100.4 Sub amp: Sundown SAZ-3000D Electrical:Kinetik 1200 under hood, 2-Kinetik 2400 rear All 1/0 KnuKonceptz Wire Power/Ground, Big 3, 8Ga Speaker Wire, KnuKonceptz Karma RCA's Dampening: 120sqft 80Mil Thick Sound Destroyer Mat Goal: 150 DB 149.9 Street Bass

Nightshade Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 The absolute best way to seal a port imo is to glue it to the box with some 5 min epoxy. Good luck ever getting the thing out though. I would just use some liquid nails or even good old silicone. As far as how far to keep your ports from the rear of the car I'd say at least 4" minimum. I only have my 8" flared port for my spl box about that far away from the side wall of my car and it performs great. Numbers right fucking now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz
