D-train-13k Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 ive got a 2000 ford f150 xlt. i need to make a new box to fit my cabin because the old box i had in my car was in the trunk. its a 4cube with two kenwood w3011's (12's) nothin special. but the box is way too big for my truck. so it sounds like my subs arnt even hitting. i have a sheet of plywood under the subs to give them something to load off of. but does anyone have any ideas on a good enclosure size that will make the subs sound comparable to what they used to be. if any questions you need to help me figure this out. lemme know. im not particularly familiar with enclosures. so any advice would be appreciated. i looked at the specs for the sub itself and it says a 2 cube ported box is best. and when i made the old one for my car it sounded great. its aggrivating hearing it now compared to the way it used to be. lol im sure yall would feel the same way if you had to change everything. thanks guys Quote The IrishmanCheck out my build hereXL 4th order wall build logIn Progress:alpine cda HU4th order Bandpass2xl 15's1- ab 400.1 (gonna be two hopefully)4- Crescendo 8's2- xts crecendo supertweeters 2 sq super tweetsMb quart 4.125Mechman 270a alt1- xs D27003- xs XP3000 4- odessey pc1700seller feed back threadhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/136418-d-train-13k/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanitarium Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 4 cubes for a set of low to mid range 12's seems really excessive. here's plans for 3 cubes @ 30 hz thats worked well for me for a variety of 12's. http://www.edesignaudio.com/logos/12_dual_vented.JPG (yes it's from eD, and yes i've checked the measurements, it checks out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abervintageman42 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 3 cubes 35hz tuning, subs forward port side firing is what i would do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-train-13k Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 the truck is ALWAYS going to be working against you, trust me loli still say subs forward port up so the subs should face the front seats and point the port to the ceiling. how does it load offf of anything? or is it the ports that load and not the subs?
