2 Atomic APX 10s install

[hazardous0388 10+ year member]

well i reconed the second apx 10 yesterday and decided to build the box today. i actually went and drove on the interstate to see how it sounded. the box is 4.25 cu ft after all displacements with two 4 inch aero ports. i do need to add more bracings to the top and bottom pieces though. i will be doing the added bracing tomorrow.

I have two braces in the box now. In the last pic it only shows one, but i have one right next to that brace going from the top to bottom.

Box looks good an all but doesnt seem like enough port area.

I don't understand this arguement, people said the same thing about my setup, but I have no issues with my enclosure!!! It sounds amazing

thats what i was thinking before i built the box. i talked to jeff brown (dtbrown) on this forum about it prior to construction, and he said two full length 4 inch aero ports would do good for daily. So I tried it, and it does get really low and sounds good until I turn it up pretty loud and i hear the box flex.

not at all.....my 10's are in 4cuft

 

[hazardous0388 10+ year member]

it is quite big...but i gotta add more bracing now anyways. so that will decrease the size which i didnt want to have to do in the first place.

also tuned that low, of course

if you understood how the sub functioned in a box that large at a higher tuning, its basically meant for 2 12"s, which would perform better.

yeah i figured, id be taking up atleast .5-1 cube of airspace myself.
