My first DC 18" XL !!


Recommended Posts

Hi, my name is Frederic, I am in France, I am 30 years old and I am an electrician in a college. Really saddened for my language, but I use a translator !

I am the happy owner of a DC 18" XL Dual 2 ohms. Will be running off SoundStream TRX 2000D with 1/0 AWG and a Optima Yellow Top 4,2L.

The vehicle is a Peugeot 207 SW.

The box :

- 8,61 cuft total

- 7 cuft

- 0,25 cuft displacement woofer

- 112 sqare inches of port and 15” length

I don’t know the frequency of the box. More it’s low, better it is ! B)

And in the car

And my new Clarion (DXZ588RUSB)

But I have a problem, the frequency of the port is too high according to Box Tuning Calculator (39.94Hz). I listen to musics slowed down from 20 to 40 Hz, the box has difficulty in reproducing them.

If I reduces the port, that will be good ?

Before :

Future

I'm going to add a wooden thickness above (port length : 15"--> 16"). By reducing the port could I shoot from 20hz to 40Hz ?

Thank you in advance.

if you do that you could have port noise because that port is tiny

you can extend the port, just make sure that sub still has about 6 cubes net..but 42 hz is too high to tune an 18 for daily in my opinion.

c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old.

i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer.
