You only have enough room for one 15

You only have enough room for one 15

with this box build, or with the trunk we are working with?

 

[krainium 10+ year member]

what we have to work with is
width- 34"

Height- 18"

Deep- 21" max

and we already made sure we will be able to get it into the trunk. its going in an 03 impala

^^^^^ In this space

 

[Ryan1126]

what if we were able to go deeper? we would find a different place to mount the amps.

Your at 5 cubic feet you need 8 or so.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

 

[SELF MADE]

Use 3/4 MDF wood (About 34$ a sheet at Home Depot) and Titebond II Wood glue.

Yeah dude, anyway you can find space in that trunk, use it. That's a whole lot of box trying to fit into what seems to be a small trunk. And the 2nd calc that u used showed a frequency of 17 hz. If you gimme a sec I'll see if i can get you something a little better.

Ok...I tried and failed, with that RE calculator, or maybe just in general. The space limitations you have are gonna be a bitch trying to figure out a box that works. You'd probably have to build the box in the trunk to get it just right with tuning and space limitations.

you'd be better off sealing them or just doing one in the right box ported rather than 2 in a bad box. heres a good box for one 15 ported

enter this;

33.25

18

21

21

.75

4.5

10

74.2 sq in of port, 4.472 volume and with proper bracing and sub displacement, tuning will end up close enough to 34hz.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Okay dude...two SE 15"s, ive done this setup time and time again...6 Cubes net, 35 Hz Tune, 60-80 Sq.in Port. 8 cubes is way too much for those guys...What type of vehicle is this going in?

 

[Ryan1126]

I talked him down to 12's because it would have been a pain in the *** to get 2 15's in that trunk. We got the box to were it was supposed to be according to Greg at RE and it wouldnt have fit through the opening for the trunk. so we have all the sides mapped out, we start cutting today, ill post pics up in the build log, so you guys can see how bad we **** up for our first time.

MDF sucks, it covered my whole front yard in saw dust. I had a quick question, do i caulk the inside of the box? or just glue?

 

[Ryan1126]

if someone could answer that i would really appreciate it, so that i can get started on assembling the box.
