if ur looking for more "pain" in ur system id suggest tunning around 35-7hz it still play low as hell but at the same time give u that pain that ur looking for!

dont know if it were an flaw in my box or not but when i had my old 4 15" Kicker L5s i keep the same box size and port area, and went from an 33hz tuning to an 37hz tunning and i can honestly say that the Low end didnt sound Much differnt from the previous 33hz tunning. but i can say that i woke my L5s up! got REALLLLY loud and i had MORE punch! same size box and port area. take that into consideration

Yeah you want ports width away from the back wall....why dont you go crx style, subs up port back, but have the port go across the entire width of the box at the bottom? That seems to be how most people go with setups in the back of suv's and its what I have heard is generally the loudest....

I was checking out Meade's (2) 18" RE MT install, he did both subs and port up, he is using 15sq.in. of port area per cuft of box volume. I plan to use 16.5sq.in. of port area for every cuft of box volume....

In his current design he is using the square port, I just cant believe it's only 130sq.in. of port for all (4) 18's...

you going for daily, or the meter?

I'm going for Daily, but want it to still get loud on the meter, I think I'm gonna tune to 35hz which is right in the middle.

Break 140? mmk i got sumthin for ya, all my stuff is gonna be orderd there "team kicker" you dont know the first thing about me keep your cockhole shut. I have a life and a kid i cant spend it all on car audio. Im not mean to be loud, i wanna be myself and i dont have the budget to be loud but i will break 140 easily with the new setup thats going to be put in. O ya im going to be using a rf amp too and i will bench it to show you that it will do what its rated. Dont speak you have no idea what your talking about to begin with.

You spent more on that quite set up then i did and i did do over 150.xx in the kick and over a 146.xx @ the headrest on a 50 amp fuse. That was all before i GOT ON team KICKER. O RLY?

Here let me clear this up once again, i did that install in a day, 4 gauge wire lanzar amp sealed box in a trunk. Get off my balls i dont have the budget to fufill my spl wants and need.

Well agian with half the cone area and 1600~ rms i did a 145.5 on music, on a 50 amp fuse, outta a trunk car? That was about a $700 set up.

dont gonna be a baller to break 140.
espically with 3kw.

i was referring to Famous_78 who had 2x L7 15's and didnt break a 140. But was giving advice on things he doesnt know about, such as MT's and the first thing about of a loud set up.

Not unless I raise the box 2", the mounting depth of the MT is 10.75, with the double baffle I only have 10".

This is why I'm kinda leaning to the design with the big square port.

Will the subs placed where they are on the slot port design not work out that well?

 

[ContourSPL 10+ year member]

I think you'll have some loading issues considering the placement of the subs. Especially the black box with the big square port. Is there no way to get those 18's even? Good luck
