basketball_00011 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Hey guys, Im planning on ordering 3 DC LVl 5 18's in the next couple weeks and have been messin with Sketchup. How does this look? Are there problems with any locations of ports, as far as function go? Just want some general input as this is also my first time with Aeroports. ** This isn't the actual box im going to build, just the type of layout i was thinking. ** Ports -- (4) 6" Port Length - 11" Port Area - 75.36 in^2 Tune Frequency -- 33hz (i think thats what Torres Calc said, i forget haha) Box Dimensions -- 48" wide x 49" tall x 14" deep. Net Volume -- 14.40 ft^3 after displacement of sub, but no bracing (forgot to add it) ** And I know that this box is a little small for 3 lvl 5's. like i said this is more for a grasp on Sketchup, and general layout of Aero's.** Quote Brandon - Bassless since March 2010.

Coleslaw Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Looks fine to me. I don't really know much about this (I just really got into car audio and stuff like a month ago) but I noticed that your aeroports are 11 inches long and the depth of your box is 14 inches. I read somewhere that it is best to have at least 6 inches between the end of the ports and the walls of the enclosure. I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes but I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in there. Lol. Since nobody had answered yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertz_dont_it Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 sorry this is kind of off topic but what is that program you use to draw up a box like that?? Quote Current system:Front stage: Alpine type s 6.5No rear:Alpine type s 6.5headunit: alpineAmp: Jbl bp600.1 Sub: Alpine type x 12 dont know much about them. Found a "FLUX" Capacitor on ebay. If I add this to my system, can I really travel into the future? And how far into the future? That probably all depends on how I ground it though, right?Dude dont even waste your money on capacitors get a second car battery preferably a kinetik or stinger or any other car audio battery use the battery that is correct for your systems true rms wattage do some research on the net for this. Go to kinetiks website they explain how to pick a battery from thier site that fits your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basketball_00011 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 sorry this is kind of off topic but what is that program you use to draw up a box like that??

Like i said i havent messed with Aero's before so im not down with all the tuning principles with them yet. we'll see what others have to say. how much power? I'll have atleast 9000w daily. I was going to run 3 AQ3500's. One per sub. If i would end up going to Comps, i'd have it tuned a little higher, and probably around 4000 per sub. That sound alright?

basketball_00011 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) I drew up a new box that would fit my truck (99 s10 ext. cab). It wasn't an "exact" measurement but pretty close. I screwed up when making this so its not perfect, they're shouldn't be a line on the top of the box. 4 - 6" ports. -- 7" in Length (im pretty sure this is not enough port area? 6.54 in^2) 3 - 18" DC Lvl 5's 17.3 ft^3 after bracing, port, sub displacement Tuned to 33hz. hows that one look? Torres Calculator (dimensions are entered weird... the two Heights are actually the Two widths. And the width is the Height.)

Socky Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I would think those subs would want more port area.
