A few questions about a ported box for 2 RE SE 12's

[Subst4nce 10+ year member]

How's it going guys, just got my RE SE's in from ebay and I'm going to give it another shot at making a ported box (last time was an epic fail)

Since I have a trunk, I'm wondering, can I make 2 separate ported enclosures (one per sub) so I have more of a chance of it fitting in my trunk? Isn't it pretty much the same thing as making a box with 2 subs but each in their own separate chamber?

and how does this design look for the SE's?

I took it from the free design sticky in this section, it is 2 cu ft @ 32 hz

pay some money and have fischer sounds build you one

you need double that

4 cubes at 32 with about 80in^2 of port

Try reaudio.com/ and the box calculator

also gives you a cutsheet

4 Cubes per sub???

RE recommends 2 per sub... I'm talking about making 2 of those boxes.

So is it a good idea to build 2 separate enclosures??

Wow hmm.. Looks like i'll have to rethink this...how much of the trunk would you say it takes up?

you're better off using a proper dual sub box around 3.5-4.5 cubes

i agree.... you can get a box for the both of them to fit in your car... itll have to be twisted and turned to get in but itll fit... make the box like 13.5" tall x 30" wide x23" deep with a 4" wide port. 16.5" long and then the 2nd port length is 4".. that gives you a box thats 3.5 cubic ft after displacement and tuned to 34 hertz...its a good design.. itll sound good

or if that is too big. you can always go with aeroports... save you some room on the inside of the box and make it smaller, so you can fit the thing in there... thats always an idea....

Thanks for the help guys, I need to try to figure out the maximum size of a box I would need to fit it in the opening of my car...

 

[Subst4nce 10+ year member]

K so i just measured my trunk..

the maximum dimensions of an enclosure would be:

L x W x H = 30 x 32 x 17

which equates to over 7 cubes....

So 4 cu. ft is possible...

Looks like I can do 1 big enclosure..

Will those dimensions fit through your trunk opening?

 

[Subst4nce 10+ year member]

Yes, i measured the trunk opening, and the inside of the trunk also. That is the maximum that would fit.
