2 Atomic APX 10s install

well i reconed the second apx 10 yesterday and decided to build the box today. i actually went and drove on the interstate to see how it sounded. the box is 4.25 cu ft after all displacements with two 4 inch aero ports. i do need to add more bracings to the top and bottom pieces though. i will be doing the added bracing tomorrow.

I have two braces in the box now. In the last pic it only shows one, but i have one right next to that brace going from the top to bottom.

Box looks good an all but doesnt seem like enough port area.

thats what i was thinking before i built the box. i talked to jeff brown (dtbrown) on this forum about it prior to construction, and he said two full length 4 inch aero ports would do good for daily. So I tried it, and it does get really low and sounds good until I turn it up pretty loud and i hear the box flex.

u going to slamology? be cool to see a (kinda) local there besides me tommyK and Les competing

oh **** i just noticed i made it over 2k posts!!!!!

not at all.....my 10's are in 4cuft

it is quite big...but i gotta add more bracing now anyways. so that will decrease the size which i didnt want to have to do in the first place.

also tuned that low, of course:rolleyes:

if you understood how the sub functioned in a box that large at a higher tuning, its basically meant for 2 12"s, which would perform better.
