Any subs that work in small ported enclosures?

[ghart999 10+ year member]

Prefer two 12's. I would like to go ported. I only have about 3.75 ft^3 internal (before displacement of ports and drivers) to play with. Is there anything that will work in say 1.25 ft^3 per driver ported to around 32Hz? Or am I SOL?

I have rl-P 12's. But I cannot design a box that will work since they really need 1.5 ft^3 each at 34Hz. After displacement, I am out of room.

This will be in the trunk of a grand prix with about 1600W to play with. Also I must be able to wire the subs to 1 ohm (so need DVC 4ohm).

This is for SQL as well.

Thanks all.

Look into the Cerwin Vega Vmax subs ..

I have always thought I needed 12's. But I am thinking that 10's might be OK as well, since they can take a smaller box and still get loud.

I hear they also add 10 HP per sub too.

i thought it was 15 but heck i will settle for 10. If you look at the box they also handle 2000watt! WOW xplodes are the shizzle.

Well I am matching with my Pyramid 12,000 watt amp. It was only $79 at a pawn shop. Plus it's only like 4 inches long too.

the rl-ps will be fine,, use aeroports to save space.

You think I could do the rl-P's in 1.25 ft^3 each (ported)?

 

[bad @SS chevy 10+ year member]

yea,, you should be fine.....

They'll be fine. Use aeroports and reverse mount them to eliminate driver displacement if you can.

If not, you'll still be fine.

Can't reverse mount as I won't be able to get the box in the trunk.

So if I went areoports, what size ports? 4"? 6"?

One 6" aero about 21" long should do the trick. That will actually be 3 cubes net tuned to 32hz.

So let me make sure I got this correct. rl-P 12's need a min of 20 in^2 per sub of port area. So 40 total.

a 6" areo-port is 28.28 in^2 of area. But the fact that it is flared means I can get by with less port area right?

If I went with 21" long. Do I need to port on the same surface as the subs and make a 90* turn? or could I go on a side wall and be able to go the whole length without the need for turns?
