Shape of enclosure for crx

[steven]

I was wondering if the angle of my enclosure would affect its performance and db level? I built it so it would have more breathing room for the port but I didnt know if cutting at the angle would hurt anything. Any thoughts? By the way the box if far from done just wanted some feed back prior to continuing.

Oh another thing is the box deminsions are 22 by 16 in height. 32 inches in depth. 31 inches in width. The port is 15X8.5'' tuned to 40 hz...

40hz? thats kind of high. what woofers are you using

[steven]

Yup tuned pretty high due to the fact its more geared for burps when I listen daily I dont plan on turning up loud. The sub is a btl 18 for now. saving up for a dd 9518z

Shaping your box on an angle is not going to adversely affect your bass as long as your volume is correct. In fact, your box may have less standing waves inside it than a square-sided box, so it will probably should a little better with the angle than without.

40hz and it's geared for burps? Ehhhh.... CRX's peak at more like 70hz+

I think you're diving into this way too fast. It won't just automatically be loud because its a CRX.

Slow down, read, research, plan, build.

EDIT: You probably would have been better off with sub up ports back with a single 18. With like 3 or 4 6" aeroports.

An idea for you is to put in a sealed sub then get it metered doing a sweep. Tune from there.

Lol the reason I chose 40 hz is this is NOT just a burp box its for daily driving too. I am reading and researching all the time this will be just a temp setup til I get 2 15s or something then I will build 2 boxes 1 for burps one for daily. I just needed some reference on the shape thats all. Im also going to run 8'' aeroports found a few online for a reasonable price. Thanks for the input though I agree maybe moving a bit quick with it, but wood is cheap so the more enclosures I build for it the easier I'll see whats working...

Why would you even with with a 18" in the first place in such a small car? Why not a 15" instead at least. You could have made a better box for the 15" too.
