JGrady Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I going to be getting two FI BTL's and want to have them top mounted. I came up with a box designs and want to know what your opinions of it would be. I just don't want to waste my time if it's going to take away from the performance of the subs. Here is a rough sketch of the design with my idea. I have no idea on box dimensions yet but thought I would throw my rough still under construction idea out there and see what everyone would have to say. I want to run the port from the box down between that amp and seat and have it directing out from under the seat. Obviously with some modifications.

JGrady Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 like this?? In theory I would like the port to come out like that, but I want the two 18's to be dropped in from the top. Do you think I could get my port like that and it would still be beastly or use a port we already know works? I just couldn't show what I wanted because I'm still learning how to use Google sketchup.

GTCharged Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I can see that port falling apart. Then again it may not. It just doesn't look that sturdy.

Torres Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 bad port design imo. lots of turbulence and looks way way too thin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGrady Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 bad port design imo. lots of turbulence and looks way way too thin It would be modified better, but I wasn't even sure it would work anyways. I just had a crazy idea and figured I'd see what everyone thought. I guess I'll build the proper box and then when I get money to waste on mdf i'll play mad scientist and try it out. If anyone can think of anyways it could work then let me know because I think it's a cool design but if won't work then it won't work.

mlstrass Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Doesn't look close to the 9:1 ratio.....I see lots of port noise and restriction. How about porting UP through the rear deck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassl0va Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Doesn't look close to the 9:1 ratio.....I see lots of port noise and restriction. How about porting UP through the rear deck? It's actually 1/8, but whatever. That port will fail miserably. I wouldn't even bother trying it no matter how much spare money you could get. The straighter the port the better.
