First Build...12" L7 Box....15+ Pics!!

[kicker06 10+ year member]

This box is for my 12" L7. This is my first build ever. I used 3/4" MDF, its not too good, but it will work.

L7 is Dual-4ohm. It's going to to run by my Hifonics Bxi-1500d @ 2ohms.

Its 3.4cuft NET. Tuned to around 29hz, nice and low. It's really short in height because my trunk is short. Not much else to say...The port is 6x4x16 with a brace under the sqaure port to hold it up.

Nice Cuts! I think

Silconed up.

Brace for the top.

6x4x16 port tuned the box to 29hz. Its heavy

Inside of port, siliconed up!

Front Baffle placed into the box

View from the top

Rear wall brace for the top

Thanks, mind you, the pre-fab is sitting on its back making it look smaller, but it will definetly blow it out of the water.

Why that method of port design? Why not take up the length of the box like the prefab box did..

I wanted to try a square port, and see how it was. The slot port is seen everywhere, wanted to try something different, even though there is nothing wrong with the slot port type.

There is a reason though why the slot port is superior. First, it takes up less Vb and more importantly, it adds bracing to the box.

I agree!

My friend has a prefab box like that and it sucks balls on the low end.

Any program to figure out what its tuned to?

Nice box....wish i could build that clean.
