Guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 if you want cheap, build your own. i guarantee you that that ebay box only has like 10-12sqin of port per cuft, IF THAT. AQ woofers need at least 14-16sqin per cuft to work well. and trust me, theres no box on ebay that you can buy that has that much. 4cuft and 64sqin of port total is what you need.

milly Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 okay so this is what a box builder asked, and this is what i put. Desired NET vol and tuning: 4.5 cubes at 34 hz is that good for these subs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I think the tuning around there to 38 is good. Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milly Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 kk cool, im looking for a box build atm, everyone is saying in the 200 range >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milly Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 This is a tad on the smaller size but should do ok till you can get one made for the subs and if the port size is what i think it is its tuned to 35hz. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-ATREND-DUAL-12-MDF-VENTED-PORTED-SUB-BOX-ENCLOSURE_W0QQitemZ350332087010QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item51916b6ae2#ht_3900wt_996 EDIT:Not sure if the sizing is correct for your ride since you haven't mentioned what you have. Its a mercedes benz e350, you think it'd fit? I have to measure tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyN Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 what ever you do dont buy one of the prefab in general boxes especial not a ported one. ported boxes are great for spl and such but need to designed for the particular application. the generic one never sound great only ok at best. besides they are usually made from very thin wood.

Guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) thats why we're here, to help you learn. i used to be in the same situation as you, but now boxes are the easiest thing in the world lol. give us your space dimensions and the vehicle you drive and someone here can help you design one. the most basic tools you would need for a box would be a jigsaw (to cut the woofer holes), drywall screws, caulk (to seal up air leaks), titebond glue, a drill for screwing in the screws and drilling the holes, and a regular circular saw isnt needed but makes things way easier. alot of places like Lowes and stuff can cut your wood for you but theres sometimes a small charge for each cut and sometimes there isnt a fee at all, you just pay for the $20-30 sheet of 3/4" MDF.
