Help with box design for 2 10" Alpine R series

[shredder2]

I scored a 6 inch pvc 90deg elbow for sch 35 for under $10 at Menards. There is no such thing as a constraint for me anymore lol

The only constraint i was talking about was a set amount of port area...bends and length can usually be overcome with a lil' imagination

*backs up*...ok man just asking. But...what I really meant was the actual radius shape in Sketchup over the port.

Oh... you mean one of these?... PITA for sure... I suppose if I practiced enough... IDK

Ya, i hear you on the higher tune shred, nondecaf just regular music.

Would you mind showing me a more musical box idea? I could do slot or aero i suppose.

Have a 2017 chevy ss, box is backed up by my rear seats facing back, can't put it all the way back and lose trunk tho.

Thanks all

Also, is that decware death box a good idea? Being tunable seems nice, but all reviews i read are old and very split into love and hate it seems.

I wouldn't do it.

alright, that settles it. for my first box build i'll go with a simple ported. just have to iron out the plans and port details.

thanks for all the input guys.

shred hooked me up w some plans. I've made one change, i'm extending the top 1 inch wider and doing a dado cut, just to give myself a lip on each side to pick it up by.

did most of the initial cuts, will try to find time on the weekend to do the rest. got some bed liner to paint it. I also got a new amp (alpine pdx m12, like 1400 watts into either 2 or 4 ohms) which will power the subs nice and sips power gently so i won't mess up stock electrical.

so a question for my next bad idea: i'm assuming down the road i will want to experiment, and the sub channel on my 5 channel amp will be sitting unused -- are there any subs that would work well in 3 without going over say 3 cubes for a good ported box? i'd power 2 off of my new amp, and 1 off of the other amp (alpine v9), which i can set to be exactly the same power and control all of them w one gain knob. would adding another R series 10 inch be out of the question?
