Let me know

[cheeto]

I'm feelin choice B more. Isn't it more efficient to have the subs 2 one side port middle 2 one side theoretically? Maybe I'm just a noob. Probly that one.

[Kold_Killa]

I'm likin the look of both, but went for B as I am a symmetrical kind of guy!

[btdickey99]

choice B

[jadon087]

well b looks best but i'd honestly go with whatever is gonna perform best.

[Skip01]

Sweet.....thanks for ideas....i was gonna go with B most likely, after he asked which one

Im gonna have an amp on the 2 back ones and the 2 front ones so i can gain match them to help with being in phase

[tez4life]

I voted B, but I seriously liked A. A kerfed port with choice A would have looked nice IMO.

Either way, with (4) HDc3 12s its going to be loud.

I like B -- it is a more rigid box. More symmetrical too.

[DBDesignsElite]

I chose B.. One of the main reasons id did is because each sub will load the box on a more even scale... With that,, each sub's cone will load properly which is a good thing... :D

[Calikid]

B, keep it symmetrical

[PSturmer]

i am feeling B because the top left speaker in A might have a problem with air pressure. and jeremiah used B and it seemed to work.


where is the 4 6'' internal aeros back and subs up?

[PSturmer]

this is going to be a ridiculous daily driver. this wont have any problems breaking 150 :)

[skeptikal]

how much power are you going to give them?

[mile098]

option B

[blackbonnie]

im liking choice b.

[Andrew12]

B and he's giving them somewhere around 8-10k I believe from 2 AB 500.1's?

[Hecta G]

I am more about symmetry so "B" has my vote.

[shortyg83]

I picked A just because everyone else picked B. I dont think the port off on one side matters because the subs would all compress the chamber together pushing air out. I could be wrong tho so go with the consensus

[Tacosys]

B for sure

[Andrew12]

What mid's n highs are you running skip?

That shall come when i go for numbers;)

Yehh...somewhere around there....ill be running them both at .5ohm....soo maybe around 8500 to 9000

[Skip01]

What mid's n highs are you running skip?

Those are PPI 356s in the front doors(2 sets) and 1 set of 355 in back(5.25 comp)

[Andrew12]

I love how you got them setup man... Very simple and they look loud as hell. What amp pushes them?

[mobeious]

skip i do have access to 8 and 10" PVC :)

[bamaboy]

im liking B a little better for looks

either one will be nasty loud

[IgnoreMe]

i picked A.

i dont like the idea of essentially "colliding" the two forces from each pair of subs against those back pieces like that and into each other...

im seeing turbulance

[tremor1127]

i say b

[Andjk62]

B ALL THE WAY BRO, so much cooler...

[bumpin buick]

skip i do have access to 8 and 10" PVC :)

with flanges?

[AllDayMJ]

i did similar box for a GMC Jimmy, wedge box 4 12s up 4 6" PVC ports back.. 113sq.in. i think 7.7 cubes net or so..-mj. good luck, post pics when u build..

nvm 8 cubes...lol exact same box pretty much..lol, make sure you brace the area between the 4 subs and brace your port too..

[Skip01]

Thanks for the comments....giving me some more ideas is always a plus

Going with B still for now


Im gonna be doing aeros when i go for numbers...this is just to be loud and pretty

[PSturmer]

just the the heck of it you should try putting some 3m heavy duty duck tape in the port :)

haha black to:D

[basshedz06]

yea dude i would go with option b also but A is sweet looking also, i was admiring it cause i am also running 4 10s in my car for spl this new season and don't know how to go far as port wise anyway. would be okay if i pm you sometime to get some pointers

[J31Rob]

with flanges?

bend or fiberglass. ;)

[Aroc]

I'm gonna say B I have a box thats next to identical to that for 2 12's and get pretty loud for to Type x's it's a nice design as well .

[Skip01]

bend or fiberglass. ;)

Yehh...not for ports as the other guy must have thought

But i decided against it...we agreed it wouldnt look to good and not make a substantial enough difference to warrant it:D

[Skip01]

Hmmm...id like to know why Immacomputer voted for A, just to get his side of it?
