XXX 15

SQL 4 cubes ported 27hz

 

[BASS OUTLAW 10+ year member]

look i have a 12" pioneer sub , SPL series.

and it recomends 1.75 cuft PORTED net vol. without port vol. or woofer displacement,

i didnt built it or design it yet, but am goin to design it for the given specs, i dont have any enclosure programs, and the manufacturer already tested the sub on the 1.75 cuft,

and it gave them the best results , thats why they recomended it.

so my total vol , will be approx. about -2.5 cuft--> tunned to 30hz for SQL, will start building it after a week, am not at home country yet.

so what do u think about 4 cuft net vol. but tunned to 30hz to 35 hz ??

im good with the same plans right now, only that i want to make the depth 17 inches. i prolly could gain the extra 3" if i slanted the rear.

yeah this is not a big deal. the big deal is the port //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

would i have alot of port noise that way?

 

[BASS OUTLAW 10+ year member]

gonna pick it up tomorrow.

would it be ok to mount the amp behind the sub box, not directly on the box. My seats dont fold down, so there like a metal wall sorta. Could it mount it there?

 

[BASS OUTLAW 10+ year member]

insulate the amp from the metal , a wood board is preferable, mound the wood board on the metal, then the amp on the board, so that u dont short circuit it, if the amp, touched the metal, will get ruined.

box is prolly gonna be right infront of it. problem?

i doubt if the wall can conduct electricity.

Amazing, I have that same car, only in a 1996 model. I ended up making a standard sealed box of about 2 cubes (figure about 1.75ish after the speaker goes in) Dont forget, your back seat angles out quite a bit, towards the front of the car, you could probably build a wedge shaped box and get an easy 4 cubes depending how close to the trunk lid you want to come. Out of curiousity, where are you putting the amps and other gear at? I was thinking stealth install myself, under the rug on the left side, where there is a plastic tray, and under the wheel well carpeting, where there is already what seems to be a stock amp. If I recall, the specs I came up with, to about the lip of the lid (seeing as how my battery is back there) was 15 high, 34 wide, 10 deep at the top, and 17 deep at the bottom. Right about 3 cubes there already, without having glassed even. You'll have to angle your front wall some too tho, if you want to try fittin in a 15. Should look pretty sweet tho.

Good luck!

im gonna try to tuck away my amp for the highs in the trunk liner to the left where the stock amp is. Gonna remove stock amp. 2 Cross overs in OEM cd changer location. EQX, somewhere in that side also. So far stealth.

Sub AMP, gonna mount to the behind the seats, under the rear deck. My seats dont fold down, so i'll mount it to the metal plate (on wood first then to the metal )

Sub box ... Slanted in the rear straight in the front. Depth of the box prolly gonna be 17-18 inches. Box will hang over the 2 "humps" in the car and go up for extra vol. Almost like a "T" Shape.

After the sub box, gonna make a faceplate to flush mount the sub sorta in the trunk.

Carpet faceplate with matching carpet.

This is what i plan to do, although i could run into some problmes.

Big Thanks to Bass Outlaw who is still trying to figure box plans for me!
