bassfiend316 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 and the middle sub won't have a loading problem? I don't believe it would, but I'm not a big fan of three sub setups, so I've never had any personal experience. On the other hand, I'm gonna do 3 8's in my mustang all forward, sealed from the trunk. only way I can fit it is similar to your first design, with the port running behind the subs...I already know I'll have loading issues, trying to figure out how to minimize em though.

Tek Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 FML. Idk why I didn't just think of it like this; if the port covers the same area of all the subwoofers, than no loading issues. I fucked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfiend316 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 why will you have them but I wont? I'm gonna do a box like your first pic, not like the one I drew for you. mine will be like this-- OOO[] Three subs and the port forward, so I'll have to run the port behind the subs... Just got an idea. If you put the port at the bottom on your box and run straight back, it would probably be better than dropping down, THEN going back.

bassfiend316 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 It would be better to start it low, then go up in the back, rather than having two corners in the port. Unless you MUST have the port at the top, like if you're gonna be hauling stuff that would block a low port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just port upwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tek Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 the port can just go all across the top of the enclose (end to end), 3.5 inches tall (which will give me about 18^2 inches per cube) and it will be 35" long, giving me a tuning fq around 33 HZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Yeah my head was hurting looking at those pics trying to figure out wtf was going on. The opening of your port should be straight flowing not a 90 degree turn. Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

The opening of your port should be straight flowing not a 90 degree turn. yeah this is my first build and I'm not exactly thinking before I do things (up until now maybe). The only way to do it the RIGHT way is to port up, and I have no problem with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
