ported clamshell help/build

Recommended Posts

You are doing 16 12's in the 4Runner? Awesome! I hope it will do some serious flex! Good luck with the building.

yup yup :D just got off the phone with ups to have the delivery guy call me so i can help him drag 250 pounds of woofer up to my 3rd floor apartment. hoping for some major flex and crap load of air moved. hopefully after with some more experience with car audio and a job after i graduate i can do a 10-15k build. im only 2-3 months in on hardcore car audio, but getting there fast.

*edit - ooooh!!!! a fellow yota owner!!!!! haha, i think i saw some of your posts on yotatech.

jsut found this article on isobaric mounting. i think this is for where the cones of the woofers are facing each almost touching but i think it may apply to clamshells as well.

i dont know my t/s parameters well enough to understand everything im going to go read up on it now. for those who know what hes talking maybe you could dumb it down a bit for those who dont :D

next update is gonna be in a 7-10 days. thanksgiving breakkkkk!!!! going to toronto to see some friends, hopefully ill get back to this next fri/sat/sun and get it done.

*edit - the angle is alot flatter than i had pictured, even though i had it drawn on google sketch lol. shouldnt have any problems with fitting bracing or it not being strong enough.
