I call it ocd but yeah. Thanks. Lol

I'm sure my opinion will change, as the new wears off and I start picking up on characteristics that annoy me. Did take look at that rockford sub/box and wonder. What would that sound like ported. But in order to keep the top and bottom depth, and achieve the 1.25 recommended cuft, the box...

In the event someone's finds themselves reading this thread. I'll throw out the end results. For the 1 svr 8, in a reg cab truck. I ended up with an 8" diameter sonotube. Shy of 38", Long arse thing, with internal volume of 1 cuft. I tried a 2" diameter round port, 3" long. Bass was...

Out of more curiosity and having the extra wood. Figured I'd hear what these subs are really capable of, vs making a tube and wondering. I found plans for a slot ported, 53hz box, specifically for the svr 8. Couple hours later, built and installed, in my car, using rockford fosgate amp rated...

Out of curiosity, installed the P3S 12" rockford fosgate in place of the 8s. Amp is rated 500w at 4 ohm and sub was wired 4 ohm load. In a RF box designed for that sub. It was significantly louder, lived up to the punch name. The outright power, put smile on your face. But while I listen to...

The sonotubes I'm using are closer to 7.75" OD than 8", and I'd say 8" is the limit. I was gonna try find a true 8" if I do a ported version. Even though they say 8", they actually vary the sizes so they can put multiple tubes in one tube. For shipping purposes. I almost coated these tubes but...

Skar svr 8 d2 Skar 1200.1 amp, 2 subs 2 ohm load. On paper 400w rms to each sub. As to, why a tube enclosure. Things kinda snowballed. Have a regular cab, mid life crisis truck. Was just looking to add lows, cheap, didn't really expect much. Never tried 8" subwoofer. Bunch online reviews seem...

Slugbutter 53hz does seem high. I wasn't sure why they recommend that as the tuning frequency, when the same sub in their own box, is reported to be tuned for much lower, the companies words.

So with that in mind, 16 x box volume (.675 cuft)= 10.8. So the 2" x 3" port being 9.42 would be close. Ok appreciate everyone's response.

I'm attempting my first ported box~sonotube as it were. I made a sealed sonotube and it exceeded expectations but never being satisfied, it's time to see what more better, looks or sounds, like. I'm using an 8" sub, 400w rms, the recommended (ported) box volume is .65-.70 cuft with a tuning...
