HD3 box designs.

[cha0 10+ year member]

well im too new to CA to have a good enough in depth know how to make the box for this. my last project to really get my feet wet with CA was with a W6 and i used subwoofer tools to get my box plans so this will be my first shot at a cheap SPL setup.

im trying to see if i have enough room for a 15 inch AQ. the specs of my trunk are i have a depth of 32 inches, a width of 44 inches and a height of 12 inches. for the height i only have a foot since the back speakers stick down. so if i utalize all 12 inches ill still have free air space with all the room inbetween the mids that stick down into the truck.

now that being sad, is there a problem with having the driver on top of the box and the port on the side (where the driver normally is)? i cant have the driver on the side since my height can only be 12 inches with the thinckness of the wood. since i have a depth of almost 3 feet it would be sick if i could mount the driver on top.

any help with box plans would be nice. all i know is AQ reccamends 4.5 cubes and i want this tuned to 40Hz. thanks in advance.

You have 7.88 cubes before displacement so yes you have plenty of room, jeremiah25 would the man to pm about a design.

I would like to know the power you would be using before I offer a design.

40hz would be to high for daily u think,with the HD3?

Ive seen a few tuned to that and they seem to pick up the low notes just fine..?

no, this is my first shot at SPL comming from a W6. im trying to build something on a budget. reason being is the car it is going in is a temp for about 8 monthes so i dont want to beef up the electrical on something i wont have by the end of the year.

im a newbie so ask as many questions as you like, that way you run the risk of getting flammed not me. and i still learn something..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

yes that box design was geared towards the BTL but im 90% sure im going with the HD3. i have no idea what the box should be like for it since it has no specs like xmax. any suggestions for that driver?

please carry on, im trying to soke up as much as possible on the subject...

[jeremiah 10+ year member]
