Recommended Posts

Doing a challenger two 15 inch 8 cubes only have room for 60 sq in vent ? I want to do 100 sq but won't fit . What do you guys think should I just do two 12's I'm doing firing forward

Yep, go with 12's instead. Unless you're dealing with (very)low xmax woofers, or flat-out don't push your equipment very hard at all, then 60in^2 isn't going to cut it and you'll get port noise easily. On a brighter note, you can probably do three 12's and have enough room for a good sized port.

What 15's were you planning on using?

Can you get less Net volume and more port area?

Current system:

1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s

Previous systems:

2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz.

1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

I can do less volume but I'm firing the subs forward. The baffle is 16x34 with a hour glass shape vent in between the to subs it works out to 60 sq in. Its two small. I should just do two 12's. I can get more cone area.

for a trunk i would do 2 12s, but if you have plenty of volume and want 15s you could angle each sub in some.

what subs are you using? and what power?
