MrMoto Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I have an 04 Avalanche that I want to build a box as a center console since it's the only place for a reasonably sized box without losing functionality. I have overall dimensions of 13"wide by 24" long and 16" high with 3/4MDF. I haven't worked with ported boxes so I'm a little unfamiliar designing them. My plan is to have the sub rear facing and at the top of the box, with a slot port on the bottom facing back. I will be driving the Fi BTL 12 with a Kicker KX800.2 which is tested at 1038w. I enjoy mostly rap\hiphop style music, but want good all around sound. So my questions are: How do the box and port dimensions look? Is there a different port style that would work better? Does the port placement and size seem optimal, or what should I change? Will I have port air noise? Or what can I do to minimize the noise? I plan to put a solid brace in the corners and round the edges of the port. I should have some bracing in there somewhere, but not sure where yet, Suggestions? Using the RE calculator here is what I got. The view would have to rotate to be accurate, so the port is on the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hzd Skizzy Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 With that amp you should look into the BL series. BTL's are 2kw rms and your supposedly running 1k rms. but anyways i have heard that the re calc is not a very reliable calc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
