SINGLE 10 BOX DESIGN. GOOD OR BAD. 1 OR 2?

[dazednconfuzed]

Ok i just done with the design for my enclosure. still a lil indifferent on where to put the port. looking for some advice?

heres a quick paint rendering i did.

Make sure you have enough volume in that box first off, I can't be bothered working it out exactly at the moment, but it seems a bit small for a ported 10". I got like .6 of a cube, too small if you want it ported, and pushing it for sealed too. For the port, it depends on where you are putting the box, if it is going in a trunk, go for #2, if it is going behind the seats in a pickup, go for #1.

it actually is a little small for the sub. its only a P1 but i also dont have alot of room to work with in a mighty max pickup. thats where i thought the port would help. im new to figuring this out.

just remembered something.... the measurements were way off. the height is 21.5, width 22.75, depth 9.5 at the bottom.

[dazednconfuzed]

the port was going to 1.5''depth. and the width of the box.

found out i have more than enough room. but im also wanting to upgrade to the dc lvl 2's. so ill need it to have enough room for those.

im putting a ten behind each seat thats another thing i didnt say earlier.

Just a quick model of it, the depth is 5 as it makes it an average of what it would be.

As you can see there is far too much port area and not enough box volume.

EDIT: lol, just remembered the second depth box

still too small with too much port though.

ok looks like its the sealed route for me. do u think it will be big enough for dc lvl 2 WHEN IT COMES TIME TO UPGRADE. im also thinkin bout rebuilding when i upgrade. instead of two dc 10s. im going to do 3 sa 8s. NOT SURE YET

[dazednconfuzed]

also if anyone could help me. im glassing in a pair of 6x9s in the headliner. one in each rear corner. when mounting the supports the existing headliner what should i use? glue? screws?

Yep, unless you can squeeze more room out of the back. Depends how big you build the box in the first place, the suggested boxes for the lvl 2 10"s are 0.5 cubes sealed and 1 cube ported. For the SA 8"s you might want to have 0.8-1 cube per sub if it is ported.

I'd use both, the screws to support it and the glue to stop it from wiggling.

cant squeeze anymore or ill hug the wheel lol. thanx on the tip about the headliner and the info about the 8s. had a hard time finding the specs for the 8s.
