Bad spot for those subs to begin with. Why not put it inside the trunk?

Ahhhh....it looked like a trunk going by the pic lol.

I would build a ported box for them, boomintempo.

Repositioning that current box might make a difference too.

Oh ****, just realized its sealed.. theres your problem. Most of the off the shelf forum type subs lean more towards ported

I should have known better. The reason I went with the subs is that the manufacturer recommends only .3 cubic feet per sub for sealed, and .5 to .75 cubic feet for a ported box. I thought to try the sealed configuration, but it is garbage. My door speakers give more bass than the subs. This weekend I'm going to build a ported box for the subs. I want to use aero ports, but I also have some PVC laying around (4"). Anyone have any recommendations? I usually have GREAT luck building my own boxes, but this is my first fail, and a hard fail at that!! I usually use winisd, which I'll do if no one offers any advice...The space I have, to fit in that whole is 12"x14"x26". That puts me well within the 1.5 cubic feet, after sub and port displacement...

Man, what a disappointment!!! I'm gonna start a build log...I really appreciate everyone's input!!!

And 1 net per 8 is much better for ported.

So you recommend a total of 2 cubic feet? What would you recommend to tune to, 30hz? That's what I have typically gone for (even though when I first started in the 90's I always went for 45hz, lol).

Thank you again for your help, I appreciate it!

Wayyy too low tuning for those. 35-37 works very well with the 208s. Yeah 2 net will yield the best output. 45 lol, yeah that's where all the rap tracks were recorded at back in the day.

Alright, good to know! Real quick though, these aren't 208's, they're CT Sounds Meso 8's....I can post the manufacturer sheet for more info if you'd like!

My bad man I didn't read through the whole thread. Yeah .75 net per for those. I haven't modeled up too many 8s tuned that low but yeah if you have the t/s handy I'll run them. Lmk.

It's alright, I just appreciate someone else double checking...I also appreciate someone else who may have a bit more knowledge with this. Like I said, I usually use WinISD (if that's even a thing anymore) to figure out what's best box wise....
