k3n12ock Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) So I'm looking to building a new box for my HD3 15 since no one seems to like HD3s. Right now, my box is 3.99cu.ft. tuned to 32HZ (love my lows too much). Looking to go bigger with my box. I know I should use other Box calculators but I don't really know how so this is what I came up with. If anyone has any designs/suggestions/tips/ etc. let me know please. Also, where would/should I brace the box? Should I add 45s? Also, I don't know how accurate RE's calc is but I think it is close enough to what I want. Anyways, disregard this recalc stuff. I need help with torres box calc & sketchup.

k3n12ock Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Hmm, did I do this right using ExpoSports calc? Edited March 8, 2010 by k3n12ock Quote 05 xB - (2) EVIL 18s - (2) BC3500s - NO WALL Channel 1: http://www.youtube.com/k3n12ock Channel 2: http://www.youtube.com/MrK3n12ock2
tlee2 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 i think you might have to check port bends Quote 6 Sundown X 15s 2 Sundown NS1 V2s C Pillar 4th order Bagged Suburban on 24s http://youtube.com/tlee333
fritosaregood Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 your port area on exos calculator looks like you put a 31 where it should be a 3 on the width Quote seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970
k3n12ock Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Posted March 8, 2010 This looks more realistic. I just realized the previous one had no tuning frequency. I figure 15.5" for the port because it'll be in between .75" mdf on the top & bottom. I'm also confused with the cut list section. Baffle/bottom/sides/front&back. I thought the baffles were the front? Sorry, I'm a noob to this.

k3n12ock Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Posted March 8, 2010 Anyone want to correct and answer the above post? Quote 05 xB - (2) EVIL 18s - (2) BC3500s - NO WALL Channel 1: http://www.youtube.com/k3n12ock Channel 2: http://www.youtube.com/MrK3n12ock2
k3n12ock Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Posted March 8, 2010 Newest design. Anyone want to google sketchup this for me? Quote 05 xB - (2) EVIL 18s - (2) BC3500s - NO WALL Channel 1: http://www.youtube.com/k3n12ock Channel 2: http://www.youtube.com/MrK3n12ock2
k3n12ock Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Posted March 9, 2010 Wow no replies? Anyways, I saw someone put different numbers in the port boxes. IDK if I did it wrong or they did it wrong. For example: Their way, example: My way, example: Which would be the right way? I ask because going by the first pic, I wouldn't have enough port area but I would with the second pic. Also, PLEASE let me know if you can sketchup something for me using the second pictures' specs/dimensions. I'd appreciate it.

dwright27 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 the last post 2nd one looks right imo. still a little short on port area IMO but its not to bad. id stay with a 35 hz tune for the AQs and DDs per what DJ said when i spoke with him. i think youll have a "boomy" sound as your box is a little big but it should be pretty effiecent Quote 2006 F-150 4 DC XL M2 18's Walled Daily Driver XS Power 4 DC 3.5kw Team DC Team S.P.L.

k3n12ock Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Posted March 9, 2010 Probably closer to this? Quote 05 xB - (2) EVIL 18s - (2) BC3500s - NO WALL Channel 1: http://www.youtube.com/k3n12ock Channel 2: http://www.youtube.com/MrK3n12ock2
