Best ported box?

[kadenstratton]

Hi, I am going to buy two pioneer w3003d4 and build a box. I want a bass to where the music is till audible but is good for a competition. I have heard 35hz is the best to tune at but some say 32hz. Need some advice.

Great idea, those are nice subwoofers and ported is the way to go for a lot of applications.

Can you be specific about what competition you intend to do?

35 is a good middle ground. If you dont listen to alot of decaf and slowed stuff, you could probably go up to 37 for a little more bump in output

whats up my pioneer brother (funny thing is I have 04 grand prix lol, look at my gallery) mine is tuned at 35 with 930rms in 1.65 cf ad box it's loud.. I had 1.8 cf for 2 months tuned at 38 to break sub in seemed like it needed more air when I 1st got it (in case u don't know 3003 has 2 spiders so I guess they real tight at 1st) so I suggest a 1.6-1.75 cf ad box but tht depends on how much power u running to if u only have like 500rms then u may need 1.85 cf ad or so if u running 750-1k 1.5-1.65 cf ad.. tuning depends on what u care about 1 if u listen to rock like me 37-42hz also good for comps but if u listen to deep bass rap or play techno bass tracks (or whatever u kids call them) 28-32 that's y he said and y I have 35hz cause I'm in between decent sq and plenty loud 35-37hz but I don't compete.. honestly if u really care about winning u need 2 boxes or round ports u can switch out like tragik (look u his box 1 15 4k rms he wins 2 trophys per week I heard it 1 time) his comp port is tuned to 46 hz he does almost 151 with 1 sub in a Honda civic nd he's adding another sub now..

unless someone else jumps in here i can give u dimensions for it, i did 1 for 2 of them yrs ago later had 2 e designs in it and sold it few month back with 2 orion hp's., look in my gallery the one with 2 black subs., i'll just make port little bigger if it'll fit in car.. what amp are u gonna be using/how much power? whats max height u got like 15.5" or so (measure at trunk lid opening too cause thats usually a tight spot)

ok i got 38w x15h x19d (thats with 1.5" thick front baffle) u can go to 18"d.. 4"w port 13.5" h (54sq in port 3x bigger than my single sub) x22" long will tune to 37 hz, port comes out of front and goes across back of box like 1 in my gallery.. gives u 3.58cf ad (even after sub disp.) 1.79 cf per sub (if u gonna run 800-1k per sub should make box a tad smaller to prevent sub bottoming out) if u gonna run 400-600per sub it'll work great..

choose one and go nuts.

32 is less loud than 35. Both play music fine just 32 will play rebassed music better aka music with basslines in the 20-30hz range. 35hz will play rock, pop and metal better.

Someone needs to torture test a 3003 and see what it can handle. You having any issue with yours on the ppi 1k?

it smells some (but in it's defense some of the techno bass tracks i play are called things like "melted coils" and such) it'll take 800 if someone had a good 1500 amp 2-4 of them (with 750rms each) in a good ported box with a high tune (40hz) could emabarress some peeps at a comp.. it's crazy loud u wouldn't believe it only cost $70 taking 900rms, if i paid $300 i'd be like yeah it sounds good but for $70 it freak'in amazing, i'd like to hear same sub just with 1" wider port.. i keep looking at other subs but no matter what i get i doubt it be louder and probably have to get bigger box made (for the rest of the 12's in my small $ ballpark) for them to as loud or maybe 10% louder.. y i was looking at that b2 takes small box like dc but has stitched cone like E but the e bstock is $95 don't know about $180 4 b2 i can basically get bstock cab ultra or sa for that..

Anyone know of any good amps that would power 2 of these at full power for under $150? So like 1200 watt rms.

 

[kadenstratton]

Also that has a subsonic filter. And could anyone tell me what box i should use from Here going for 32hz and dont want to big of an enclosure that subs bottom out

You should try a lanzar opti1400d they do good power and you can find it on Amazon for like 150-180
