drill a hole in box?

[tuomas 10+ year member]

i run two 12's sealed. Im thinking of drilling a hole aboot 3 inches wide on one side, will that help the performance or make it sound shitty?

serious answers please

Seriously, why do you even post?

showin top speed doesnt mean shit, you could gear it to do 200 on a 100hp engine

No. Not really. Aerodynamic / weight limitations are a HUGE factor. A 100HP engine could not go 200 mph. Period.

(And don't say "What if..." like, "What if it was dropped from a cliff!" or "down a hill!" On a flat surface, a 100hp engine could not go 200mph. I don't think I've ever seen an engine that goes faster than it's HP, not saying there's a relation. Since there's a lot of factors. But, it's a common truth. Most 200hp cars can't go 200mph.)

Not really. 110 @ 4.5K in an I6 [Or I4, not sure] VTEC? Since Inline engines are notorious for getting high rates of speed, versus 90* angled engines which are known to have lots of torque and fast acceleration, that's not too impressive.

P.S. Having an Auto VTEC = FAIL.

Well a ported enclosure is generally right at double the size of its sealed counterpart. So assuming your sealed box was made to the proper proportions.... need I continue?

And a hole in a box with a 3/4" depth does not equate to a port, at least not within any usable frequency range we are discussing here. It would be like thinking your system would sound better if your terminal cup accidentally fell off.

continental O-200 will do over 200mph //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

****ing retarded statement. 7hp shifter cart will go 93mph. 108 hp harley local does 167 mph in 8.6 seconds.

you might need more holes. i am sure he drilled holes specifically to work for his speakers. remember that not all speakers are the same. you may need more holes.
