Best Box for the MAgnum???

[Primetime 10+ year member]

What is the best box for SPL for the Magnum? I saw on the site 2 cubes tuned to 28hz. But Excuse my ignorance. How do I tune the box to 28 hz?

Thanks

you tune a box by placing different diameter and length of port(s) relative to the volume of the box. If slot port, then it will depend on width, height length, also relative to the volume.

I think you missed the question a little bit. Partly my fault.

Here is the question phased differently.

For SPL What EXACT box type and volume would be best for this sub?

ported.. volume dependant on the power you'll have.. also.. by SPL.. do you mean loud to ear.. or loud to meter? big difference..

for meter SPL. I use 2.95 cuft with port area equal to Sd.. tuned very high.. I have 500 watts a driver..

for ear SPL, I'd go for 2-3 cuft tuned to 34hz and lower..

I will have about 500 watts to it and I would like it to ear.

would you use a slot or a tube port design?

both slots, and flared tubes work well.. doesn't really matter either way..

on the ED site they have some diagrams of boxes.. you know sizes and stuff.. juuuuuuuuuuuust right for their subs. What one of those are best for the Magnum sub and if there is another site to look at for better boxes with "plan" what might that be?

I am good with a 3 cube box tuned to like 30hz.. I guess I just am not really all that great at designing a box that after all is said and done will be 3 cubes and tuned to 30hz. Is there a program that will spit out some blueprints for me?

i dont know if you already said this but what size are you using. if you are using a 15" magnum there is a great blueprint of a 3.2 cube with a port tuned to 32hz on this site that loneranger had posted a while back that you can look for which i just did and its really nice for refrence.
