I have most the wood cutout and I want to build this tomorrow. I'm wondering what its tuned too, all measurements are correct. If i calculated it right i Have a 52inch long port...

Am I correct? I'm thinking its tuned around 34hz???

My first box, want to do it right, at least know specs.

Thanks

i think using a labrith port of that length is going to hurt ur overall port velosity 4 180 degree turns is going to have the air flow all jumbled up .... why not try wraping the port around the back side of the box?

Sub wont fit that way, It actually might but i would only be able to do one. I'll see what I can come up with

This.

Port looks cool and all but its not going to perform, too small with to many bends.

I'm going to try and remove 3 of the bends. I'm also going to add 45's to the corners. This sub requires a small box so i need a lot of port to tune it low. Also going to round all square edges over, anything to help.

Thanks for the port change suggestions.

What car is this going in?

 

[supermaxx123 10+ year member]

For now no car, just want to build this and maybe sell it since i have no use for it. I think I'll be able to get rid of 2 bends and have the port in the back. I've got .25" for the sub and back wall if i do it that way so it will fit.

yup,.

built the box and i'm not happy with the sound, to much high bass //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Going sealed next, then ported tuned lower

did you figure in sub displacement? and you should have went a bigger port, not longer

 

[supermaxx123 10+ year member]

yes i did, I did this wrong to begin with because i cut the wood out first then kinda figured, OOPS its too small. I'm sure if the sub was smaller It would decrease the tuning about 2hz so I'm going to look for a smaller sub. The sub sounds accurate though, just dont like the actual sound coming out. I'm used to lower tuning. Oh and my LP on the amp is set to 55hz.

I couldn't fit a 61inch long port, thats if i went bigger to 3x11.5 which is what I will do next time.
