c0smo kram3r Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Ok guys, I'm gonna need some help with an enclosure. First, some background. I have a friend who everyone had him talked into buying the usual kicker stuff, but luckily I got to him in time. This will be his first setup. Anyways, I coached him through buying an AQ2200D (could have chosen a better amp, I know, but his budget was sort of limited and we didn't feel like going through the hassle of looking for used deals on others), an 18" DC Lv5, and all the other bits. Should all be getting here by the end of this week. Alright now to the enclosure: The vehicle is a 2005 Tahoe Z71 (captain chairs in the rear). Now I measured awhile back, but if I remembered right, it should be 42" (side-side), and 33" (backseat-tailgate) (I'll double check asap). We want to do sub up/ports up or sub up/port back (suggestions?) with sub in the middle and a port on each side (sub up/ports up), or have sub in middle with port on the back. Now the only stipulation is, he would like to have some room to put a cooler/luggage back there. So we were thinking of using up all the room from side to side, and only using what's needed going back to get the optimal volume. We're thinking of placing the battery between the captain seats and making a battery/amp rack to hide the battery. I'm most likely going to be using 1" MDF all the way around and double it up for the baffle with of coursed 45 degreed angles. Do you think we should use further bracing? And I know that DC hasn't done any parameters on it, so what's everybody doing for them (volume, port area, etc)? Also, if it's possible, would anyone be willing to sketch us up a drawing? Thanks in advance. Edited August 31, 2010 by c0smo kram3r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainzPlanetz Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Since your using 2200rms to it I would try to build the box to the larger side of specs, so it is more effecient, I am running the same amp at .5 ohms on my LVL4XL and its eating up the power....

And that includes the trolls feeding the trolls. YOU THE ONE THAT SOUND LIKE A OGER AND HUMPBACK/TROLLS? Add "SMDLIFER" on Xbox LIVE to play with other SMD members.

Sounds good to me. I have a feeling he'll be upping amps after awhile. The only thing, what are the "specs"? I'm having a hard time finding them.
