how to tell what a box is tuned to

No, that's probably because your mouth is ******* so much dick and it's impolite to talk with your mouth full.

More than a little uncalled for...

Well....are you on that tight of a budget? You've got something to work with...all you need now is a blueprint, a 25$ sheet of MDF, and a jigsaw to cut better with. And a level, lol.

Try again man, and work when you're not tired. You will be surprised and proud of yourself.

alright i just spent 5 hours getting the ****ing box to fit into my trunk LOL. i ended up having to take off a door, take out the back seats and then spend 3 hours pounding the shit outta the frame of the trunk only to realize that the box wouldn't fit no matter how far i pounded it in. So after the 5 hours of busting up a sweat i got so pissed off that i took the skill saw and just cut off 6 inces of the port. it wasn't until afterwards that i noticed i dropped the tuning of the box as well lol, but after readjusting the box i managed to cram that mother****er in the trunk. so what i thought would be a 3-4 hour project ended up being a 10 and a half hour one.

heres some pics of it finally ready

got a video but it's taking a while to upload, i'll admit i never thought a ported box would outdo 2 15s and 2 12s and even off of twice as less power. just mind boggling i guess. it's not just noticably louder it's like a medicine ball to the chest compared to old setup with beach ball difference, so would that mean at least 6 dbs more?

oh yea and i still have no idea what it's tuned to, but i've been testing a lot of diff rap songs on it and i keep my face right in front of the woofer and smell for the voice coil. no smells yet so im guessing it's around the right size box for this sub. if anyone has an american bass dx-15 or knows about it's specs i wouldn't mind knowing if 8 cubes is too much for it lol, or is the total volume of the box not important for the sub and more so the port?

alright vid finally up,

if anyone can help me with finding the tuning, the total cubed is 6.75ft cubed on the dot, port is 22" long, 4 and half wide, 16" tall so .92 ft cubed port, so a box thats 5.83 ft cubed and has a .92 ft cubed port. would this be anywhere around 30-60 hz or higher? as for the 3 numbers i managed to find off american bass website, 4.8, .66, and .58. would a bigger box area and also a bigger port be like the same thing?

Dude, Scrap the box, ask for a free design, someone will help you. Grab some mats from somewhere, start over, wood glue is like 2$. you will be much happier.

No ****ing way. Your amp is shit, your sub is shit, your box is shit. Do everyone a favor and put a whole bunch of explosives in that car and drive into your own house with it and blow up everything about you.
