soundstreamScion Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 The box for my subs calls for 3 4x18 ports. How much off a difference would it make if I only used two or maybe one? Im trying to get better lows out of it and ima noob when it comes to boxes Quote Saving for the xxx18, xxx15000d batterys alts mids highs blah blah blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skittlesRgood Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) if you went from three 4" ports to one 4"port it will seriously hinder your subs output. you will probably also get port noise. if your having a problem getting the ports to fit in the box at the lower tuning you want then dont use round ports. use a slot port and you wont have a problem going as low as you want.

soundstreamScion Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 oh sorry lol i knew i forgot to put something in that 1st post. its a triangle enclosure 2 cubic feet. off the top of my head its like 39 wide um 15 deep and i wanna say 15.5 tall. the manual says 3 4x18s will get met 36hz but i figured if i tune it to like 30 my lows would get a little better. I might just say F it do the 3 4x18s cause this setup is just to last me till I can get some 18's so then ill have that super dumby low bass =D thanks for the input so far Quote Saving for the xxx18, xxx15000d batterys alts mids highs blah blah blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundstreamScion Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) maybe I should just keep it a 36hz since its what the manual calls for. if i try to tune lower ill probably have to build a new box( again noob in box area so idk if thats true) Edited February 2, 2010 by soundstreamScion Quote Saving for the xxx18, xxx15000d batterys alts mids highs blah blah blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 your tuning is going to be all off. the box is built already for 2 cubes and your going to add 3 ports. the box is now a good deal smaller and tuning changes. also at what volume does that manual say to use with these ports?

soundstreamScion Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 its says to use a 2 subic foot box with the 3 4x18 ports. thats what I have now so if i dont mess with anything then its exactly what the manual says. I was just wanting to get a little bit better lows but like I said im saving for 18's the ss xxx18's so I know for sure once I get them ill have PLENTY of beautiful low bass so im not even gunna mess with my current box.
