    Ported Box for SSA ICON 18"

    [/ATTACH] Old set up and new set up. Just finished the box. 10 cubes. 7.5 net. T-line box with 126" of port tuned to 33hz. Double baffled recessed. With 1" round wood stiffners for support. Doing some wiring upgrade and will hook up soon then update.

    Ported Box for SSA ICON 18"

    I ran a Icon 12 in 2.5 cubes with 3-4" aeros. It was quad baffled (long story) and completely resin'd inside and out. Got loud on 1K. Just started the box build tonight. It's freaking huge. Jeep is slammed on some 22x10.5's so I may be getting some helper bags to assist the eibachs. Never ran a...

    Ported Box for SSA ICON 18"

    I really appreciate all the help. I got the port size worked out. 21x6 and 33" long will get me 33hz tuned in 7.5 cubes net. Should sound pretty good and give me the range I'm looking for.

    Need Help on SQ Set Up

    I really appreciate you're help. I'm definitely going to stick under 32hz for tuning. I had a Boston 15 i built behind a 3rd tow denali. It was loud but that was it. I still want the lows before tuning unloads it. I'm stuck between a t-line or a aero port. I can extend the box some to make the...

    I see the big *** ports 10" aero and using the online cal I could reach my tuning with a 12" long port 10" in diameter in 10 cubes. Assuming that the calculator is right tha'll give me right at 10" to the back of the box which will be perfect. Sub/port back.

    I don't think I have the length for a 10" round port and 32-34 tuning

    I'm having an issues determine port length. With 10 cubes and 115 sq in port gross @ 32 hz I'm getting 34" on one calculator and 18" on another. Scratching my head on this one.

    Need Help on SQ Set Up

    The 10" was crazy loud and beat harder than the 18. I was surprised but I'll wake this 18 up. Now I have a question on port length. I'm using the gross size of 10 cubes and one calculator tells me roughly 34" and another tells me 18" both are tuned to 32hz. Sounds like I need to tune close to...

    Need Help on SQ Set Up

    Just picked up a Incriminator Audio IA10.1. Heard good things about them. Gonna build the box this weekend and see what she does. Since it'll be putting out good power I'll adjust the gains with ddm. She should beat pretty good.

    Ported Box for SSA ICON 18"

    So shrink the box or go big ported? Still want to maintain SQ. How do you think a sundown sae-1000d @ a .5 ohm would do daily? 220 amp alt an xs power battery, all 0 gaugge and big 3. I would rather run it than a kicker 1200. I'm sure after box rize I'll be well over 1 ohm.

    Ported Box for SSA ICON 18"

    Maybe the larger sealed has the tuning frequency too low? I mean it'll shake my headliner like crazy but you just really don't feel the bass. That's why I was leaning towards ported.

    I know it's all about sound waves and getting them to the front. What is there to gain by placing both sub and poet facing up? Box would be to the seat line so about 20" tall. That would leave a good hit of air space between the sub and the roof.

    Ported Box for SSA ICON 18"

    I have it in a 5.5 cubes sealed box on a old school JBL 1200 but it just doesn't have the punch you in your face bass. It's dual 1 ohm so not a lot of amp choices but just bought a new kicker 1200. I'm hoping going ported will give me the beat in the chest I'm looking for and great sq.

    Ported Box for SSA ICON 18"

    Guys need some help on specs. I'm looking to go from sealed to ported on my icon to get some added sound. What I've currently got is 40" Wide x 24" Tall x 22" Deep. Gives me 10 cubes gross so after the port and sub I get 7.5 cubes. 118 inches of port and 38" long for a 32hz tune. Does this look...

    Need Help on SQ Set Up

    I mocked up a ported box. 8 cubes with 100 in of port. It'll give me 6 cubes net tuned to 32 hz. It'll take up the whole back area but it's def an option. I'm leaving more towards sub facing the back but debating on poet facing back or up. It'll be a T-Line box if I build it. Just don't know if...
