Need help w/box for a DD 2512

Recommended Posts

I just got a 2512 as well. are you gonna keep the same amp or change it up?
Good shit. I'm gonna keep the same amp, it should push this thing nicely. Do you have your box figured out yet?

I looked in to 6th orders and I think that's a bit much for me...it seemed the higher you go up the order chain, the larger the box gets. I think I just need to play around with ported boxes, volume and tuning, until I get it where I want. The one thing i'm finding though is that when I dial it in to where my port area is right around 40sq. in., my tuning is always in the upper 30's

I gotta thank that dude who did that video on how to do a box on SketchUp...I tried doing it a while back and it didn't work out too well, had no idea what the hell I was doing so I uninstalled the program. His video walked me through it step by step and then I figured out how to show the measurements and past the sub in there myself.

The tuning is a little higher than I really wanted but it's got the volume you and Decaf recommended, the port area Ray recommended, and the tuning DD recommends so hopefully those things work well together

For a single 12" i wouldn´t tune so low, besides that, best daily tuning TO MY EARS it´s 37 hz hehe, so yeah i love that box design man!

Mind finding me the link to that vid? i need to learn how to sketch up :peepwall:

Well I hope it sounds good. Gotta get my deck fixed before I can start making noise again but i'm thinking I should get this box going to hopefully light the fire under my ass and get my system up and running again.

Here's the video Alex K made and posted

thats a helpful vid for those not familiar with sketchup

18sqin is too much for me, as is tuning in last design IMO

basically u have to find the balance that works for you

16-18sqin per cuft will have more output, but will play less notes overall and it will be more peaky... which is good if u going to be worried about metering

tuning to 36-38 means u pretty much shouldnt play below 30-32hz otherwise the sub wont have enough cone control and u risk overexcursion

dd recommends 40hz tuning, and in all honesty, thats great if u dont play my music, lol... but if u do u are going to be playing below tuning all the time
