Ryan's Budget Build

[byers319]

a prefab box is normally tuned really high, and typically isn't the correct size for the woofer

This. I still need to figure the tuning of the prefeb sitting in my garage, 2.7^3' for a single 12", should be tuned ~38hz but who knows. I'll still only build my own boxes now.

yeah its tuned at 40hz and is probably to big for this sub

i dont see a port on that but i see some sort of tweeter on the bottom right. if thats the port then i will feel sad

Ditch that box when you get the DC XL 12". When you get the DC and AP 1500, do 2.5cubes @ 33hz.

i dont see a build.. just a video and 1 picture

seems there are a lot of people who dont get the concept of a build log

anyway, nothing wrong with a budget build. ive noticed with low power cheap equipment you can bang on it all day and not care at all. its kinda fun

its a slim port on the far right .... it instantly makes the sub put out 200db on the dash ... the tweeter on the bottom right is whats playing all the mids and highs .... the guy that sold it to me said it could break glass

lol

what....wow. yeah that port is super small. im thinking like 4-5 square inches per cubic foot. where it should be somewhere 6 times over that. if you build a new box for that thing, itll make it sound so much louder/clearer. also why the hell is there a tweeter in there? thats pointless lol

[Ryeguy28]

lol ... well to be honest ... even though it would not be the honest thing to do ... im thinking about taking it back to ABC warehouse rofl ... because i found a used RF p3 for 129$ in a homemade box tuned to 30hz ... or just order lower level DC or a FI X and make a damn box

lol its not really a tweeter its the brand badge
