Oh, here's the box without carpet. And pics of the subs for comparison. And as a side, here is a portable Bluetooth box I am making up.

IT'S DONE! Thank you everyone for helping me with the box configuration! It's not perfect by any means, but nicer looking and it sounds so much better then the old box. I can't say its any louder, but I didn't really want much to begin with, BUT it does sound so much better, deeper and...

Thanks, I am chasing numbers but I think I can still make it work. Being as the sub face protrudes from the box about an inch, I'll make a little spacer ring to bring the port tube out just as far. I decided to spend the money and picked up a proper port tube, as the pvc pipe was thick wall...

Hello again. I finished the box, its currently a 'sealed box' as I still do not have the port tube. I installed the old sub into the new box, and I also downloaded an app called "Simple tone generator" It seems to be tuned to around 48hz, as that is where everything seems loudest, and chest...

I managed to get started tonight! I still need to cut the hole for the sub (11.25") and the hole for the 4" port (I need to get the pipe yet) This face of the box isn't attached yet so I can still work on it. The difference between boxes isn't all the much but I'm hoping for a big...

LOL I'm kinda curious now, but I'll stay out of it. I always give everyone a fair chance until they prove otherwise and right now, everything is good with me! I'll be gathering up materials over the next couple days, weather pending, to start the box build. Ill post progress pics as I go...

No, no, you don't understand, I can "see" the graphs, I just can't "read" them I kinda understand what the graphs represent... just not completely. (It's just a bunch of numbers, but I'm learning!)

Thanks Shedder, I can't completely read the graphs, so I'll take your word for it Cheers!

OMG You guys are funny! So why would you think its not going to be any better? Going from a cheap 150w, 4ohm sub in a poorly designed ported box, to a 600w, 2ohm sub, in a (hopefully) properly designed ported box. How could this NOT be better? I'm not looking for life alternating bass here, I...

Okay, I found Torres's Box Tuning calculator. I'll be going with this: (unless you see an issue I might have with it?) - I'll be using 4" PVC piping for the port tube, and 3/4" MDF.

Thanks for confirming everything! I just got a length of 4" pvc pipe for free!! Woot! I found a couple youtube vids flaring the ends of the tubes... (But I have access to a 3D printer... so I might have a little fun with that! As a small side question, anyone know the reasoning behind the...

Will this work? It'll be about $50 to get it here Precision Port 4" Flared Port Tube Kit Other thought: Can I walk down to the hardware store and pick up a piece of 10 foot 4" drain pipe for about $25? I think I may go this route. I can experiment with different port lengths too.

Err... I can't get that port for anything less then $65 here... sigh. So I think what I'll do, as that 4" round port has an area of ~12.5" and a depth of 12.5" I'll make a wood port 1.25" x 10" and 12.5" long... Same but different right? That'll still be tuned to 35hz? In a box of about...

Thanks for the help guys! Here is the current box and as you can see, looks ARE very important LOL Laugh if you'd like, its okay... I ran out of carpet... And this is the reason for the angled shape, as it fits in quite nicely. (Although its about an inch too tall. I'd like to stay with...

Thanks, As for the box shape, it just fits well in the back of the hatch of the Accent. The Specs for the box are from that website (I don't know enough about subs, so kinda relying on the info at Basic car audio electronics) I don't know how to calculate port sizes. What is the frequency...
