i thought it would work that stupid calcualtor site lyed to me it didnt ask for a sub size tho wtf

sub size doesn't matter, all that matters is air space and port area. You have to factor out the sub displacement by yourself, and the port displacement when getting your net air space.

just drill 5 1" circle in each chamber out. Problem solved! MORE PORT AREA FTW!

fvck it. just lay the subs down in the back without a box. wrap them all with polyfill.

dril 3 holes in the cone on each sub, 1 inch should be enough but evenly spaced of course... then you hava a ported box and subs... XTREAM DB's

im sure he was kidding. the box is the base of your sub system. a 1000 dollar sub in a 50$ prefab will sound like 50$. a 50$ sub in a well designed box would get louder and sound better.

the ports in there now are 2inch diameter and 4 inch long maybe if i make them like 9 inched long it will sound right

 

[markak134]

even if i do get new subs i dont think i would be good at making a box what do you use as the glue to seal it

no. the airspace is far too small for those subs ported. you are under 1 cube after displacing air with a port, which will also throw tuning way above what you think. you cant just put 1 cubic foot in a program and get a port length, because after putting that port in, you are no longer working with 1 cube.
