f3rr3t Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hey yall new here. i already have my sub a fi Q18. and have the whole trunk of a 1988 cutlass calais and need help with an enclosure. i know sealed would be the easiest but i want to take advantage of the sub in the way it was designed not just half ass. ive always built sealed enclosures never a ported enclosure i would like to keep box size as small as possible but still get good tight bass response for daily driving. sound quality. how do i determine the port length etc i do have a router and a table saw for accurate cuts. will pay for plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe1129 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Question: any reputable shops in your area? If so see if they will help you design a box for that bad boy. I do it all the time for DYI'ers that come in, cause I know not everyone wants a shop to do their work/or can afford to have a shop build one.
