18 sealed?

[SVT4LIFE]

some where around there i forget..but maybe like 2or3 inches wide and like 22 or 24 long idk i forget

but it slaps and like i said its not quit 5cf but its tuned around 33hz alittle more i think higher i mean but basicly every song slaps and some just make you say shit lol

BUT IF HE CAN GO WIDE AND DEEP he will have no issue at all with a ported box make it tall enough so it can fit in and not to deep that you cant wiggle it in eaither just go as wide as you can fit and as deep as will fit you getting it in and out and then go to as close as you can tall rem you will have to drop the sub in the box before you load the box in the trunk lol and you should be good to go whatever those numbers are build it... and it will sound a million times better than a sealed box

basicly going as big as you can for you trunk that what i did and you seen what it looked like

OR built it in your trunk... nobody likes that thow.. that sucks.. its hard

LOL i take that back i just measured it and my port is 2 inches wide by 22 inches long and my box is only like 15 inches tall

and my box sounds hella good

and those measurements are the inside of the port

FI says on there site no sealed box's i think the sub will over heat or just sound like crap... cause that sub is made to move air like i said you can fit a ported box in there and 5cf of ported box is just fine for one in a trunk

Fi site also recommends 2,000 RMS onto it. But people push more than that on it, don't they? Because one day somebody experimented and tested how far they could push the sub. Same goes along with a lot of brands. People experiment and test to see how far they can push things before it goes downhill. Same thing applies here, how are you going to know for a fact if you don't experiment and test?

That leaves ~4.3 cuft tuned to 34-35 Hz.

Would be worth a try, and more than likely better than sealed. Make sure you round the edges of the port on the inside and outside of the box.

fully agree, plus the reason they do that is so the warrenty is harder to get. U go by what they say it deffeintly isnt going to break, you go over to bad. But there still gunna make good stuff so forum pple will say good things ect ect. to the op build a sealed and it will work. If you can build a ported do it u will like it better. either way u have an 18" sub, your already beating most pple on the street.

The Q is supposed to sound best in a sealed box, but I use it ported and it sounds great. But, I haven't tried it sealed, so it could very well be true that it might sound better. Point is, I think if he tried it sealed, he'd still be happy, even if it didn't sound as good as it could in a ported box.
