[QUOTE="VictorwithAC, post: 8649900, member: 675304"] So I asked on reddit and didnt get much input. I just got 2 massive audio hippo84 8's. I plan to build custom ported boxes for the individual speakers, not one enclosure. Ive built boxes before but never tuned or anything special. I want to get the most outta these little 8's. Im gonna push 500 w rms to each. My truck is a 1996 dodge ram single cab. Plan is upward firing subs and upward vent? So with the program I used I have dimensions as follows: All 3/4" MDF Height: 15" Depth: 10" Width: 20" Net volume is 1.05cuft Massive says optimum is 1.1cuft Vent tuned to 28hz Height: 4" Width: 2" Length: 22" Port area: 8insq Massive says optimum is 7.07insq (I know the vent will have to make a turn in the box and to keep is at least its width away from the back wall) So to me this sounds like the woofers will be very happy and sound good in their new homes but ive never attempted to put this much thought into a Box before nor have I tried to maximize sound from 8's. Any input or advise is appreciate as I plan to start the build tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
