Hi my name is Dylan. Thanks for looking at my thread. Like the title says, I’m working on a center console. I have some probably basic questions but I haven’t been able to find what I’m looking for on Google. I am using WinISD btw.
Vehicle : 06 F250 Crew Cab
Location in the vehicle: center console w/ subs firing into rear passenger footwells
Space available (Length x Width x Height): ~15x15x47 outer
Subwoofer make and model:NVX VCW122
Subwoofer Size:12”
Number of Subwoofers:2
Type of Port (Kerfed, Slot, Aero, etc.): diy aero
What type of music do you like?: everything except country
Is your goal SPL or Everyday Music?: 90% everyday listening
Tuning Freq (Hz): 20-25 hz
Volume : mid to high
Questions
1) What would be the preferred port location in a situation like this? Would it be bad to face it towards the dash?
2) My plan is to integrate either 4” or 6” PVC into the 3/4” MDF box and roundover the ends. Is 1/2” roundover enough?
3) Tuning to 25 hz, port velo is peaking at 31ms. Is this acceptable with the flare? I hear 36ms is the number, just double checking what the consensus here is.
It peaks at 25ms when tuned to 20hz.
4) I also hear that when tuning in WinISD, you generally end up with lower tuning than what you expected. Is this still true?
I’m sure I have more questions but I’ll leave it there for now. I appreciate any help.
