New Subwoofer Design for Three 10s


Recommended Posts

riygls.jpg

Box outside dimensions will be 12 x 20 x 38

The black area is 1 inch wide all around. The green area is the entire port which is nearly the whole box, each area is measured in its entirety and the 45 angles were not accounted for. I am planning on three 10s right now for my car, i could have larger subs but in order to have more space in my trunk and not have to modify my trunk in any way then 12 inches is the tallest i can have the box allowing me to have it as close to the back seats as possible. I was wanting a 1/4 or if i have to at least an 1/8 wave Tline box. I hope i did the design right, i have seen where people have made subs firing into the port directly and thats not as good, so thats why I have the small opening into the actual port area from the sub area. The specs I drew this up on were 37 Hz i think with a 10 inch sub.

I am curious what others think and if they think this will work. I understand with more subs you have to account for adequate cubic feet for each sub and port area, so I am hoping these will work alright in this box.

looks like not enough space for the woofers and the port end is choking them off.

I would suggest increasing box space and decreasing port length. Stick with a simple ported box and use a basic box calculator to help you.

the way you have it is similar to a couple t-lines ive seen, but your opening into the port seems much too small. you should look into a tapered t-line.

looks like an attempt at a tline?

If you did this as a tline, you would have phase issues

as a ported box, phase issues

as HHR said, going with ported, do ported, shorten port length, and increase box size/airspace

if doing a tline, the back wave of every woofer will need to have equal pressure entering the port/line or you will have phase issues with the box

I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
