kingsuv Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) In my experience of a shit ton of subs in the back it has been louder with the port up and not to the back. I have also found that anymore then 1/2 the height of the truck in box height has hurt numbers as well. Use 2x6 to support under the subs and all thread to support the walls. my $.02 Carry on.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulywickedcustoms Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 its 49 1/8th wide.. not 50. I built my last box that jay for my 6- 15" to 50" wide and it fits fine... Yes it is def a tight squeeze but it goes in with some extra motivation lol Quote *2013 NEW BUILD* 12- 18" Crossfire XS v2's B pillar 4th order wall 4- Crossfire 8K mono blocks 40+ pro audio mids tweeters and horns 3- Singer alternator 400a external regulated alts tons of audiotechnix wire 24- XS Power D1400's -TEAM XS POWER- -TEAM CROSSFIRE- -TDH- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 well, just makes no sense to beat a square peg into a round hole, when a sheet of mdf is 49 1/8th wide.

trulywickedcustoms Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I understand but I'm tryin to squeeze out every inch I can.... And yes it fits man like I said it is tight but it goes in there... I will be building with Baltic Birch wood not mdf, and king do you think I'd be better off doing port up and extending the box almost bock to the gate so I can get more are per sub? And port up? What difference does this make in terms of a daily ground pounder? I'm not looking for great numbers all though it should put up a decent score I hope!! But will the port up help or hurt hair tricks and sound quality (not rly sq but will I hear more port noise etc...?) Thanks for the input Btw ray I'm not trying argue I'm just sayin that my last box was 50" wide and it fit so why not do it agn???

trulywickedcustoms Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 But yea if a sheet of birch was 49 and some change I'll prob just leave it at that but every sheet I have gotten in the past was 48".... I guess I could build the side walls .75" taller and put them to the side of the bottom and anther 2.25" for the top..

trulywickedcustoms Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Well iv got 50" width and 65" long but that's all the way to the gate so we could prob do 60"... I just kinda want kingsuv to chime back in on this alittle more bc iv always heard that in SUVs get loudest off sub up port back??

mazdaspl Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Here is another design.. I took kingsuv's idea with doing subs and port up.. Chime in with your thoughts Kingsuv... let me know if im on the right track for blakes build.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsuv Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Much better. Oh and real wood sheets come in 48x96 MDF comes in 49x97 because it gives a crush cushion when they band them. You can find MDF in larger sheets like 5x10 and up. Also you can order Birch in 5x5 sheets. If you are good with the supports in the box, you won't need as many layers for strength Edited December 18, 2010 by kingsuv Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes.
