I think I was just expecting to much.

I finally finish my install. 2 2510 on a sundown 3000. It sounds good, but not as loud as I thought it was going to be. I had 4 DD1508 on an AQ2200, and althought it was 4-8's it was twice as loud with less power. The 2510's are in just under 3 cubes ported to 38Hz. I think I might try to put 2 buckets (there's a bench there right now), and redo the box for 2 12s.

Oh by the way, this setup is in a '05 chevy crew cab. My build thread is in the build section somewhere, LOL.

before going with 2 12's rebuild the box.

drop it down to around 2.6ft before disp @ 40-42hz

I'm currently using 2 4" aero ports. If I were to build another box you think a slot port would be better?

im not sure how much of a difference it would make but all i ever use is slot ports.

What difference do you think it would make if I took .5 cubes off (it would be 2.5 then), and tuned it to 40Hz?

My 2x 2510s were loudest in 2cuft box w/ 66sqin of port. 144db street beat w/ lil jon.

I would suggest more port area.

Thx for the offer man. I'll keep you updated with what happens. I'm looking at making a few changes. The main ones being making the box alittle smaller (2 cubes) and going to a slot port to get 41 sq" of port area vs. the 25 sq" I had with the areo's. Also, i'm going to have the port face up as opposed to the side where it didn't have much room. I'm also going to put a whole new face/baffle on the box. Hopefully these changes will make the difference i'm looking for. otherwise, the 10"s are gone and i'm doing something different, lol.

No, I havent had a chance yet to do that, lol I'm redoing the box first to make sure i'm not going to have to do something drastic like a blow thru, lol. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

yea the box is a lil big....and not enough port area....16 sq in of port area per cube...so at 2.6 you would need 41.6 sq in. of port....so 2 4" aeros arent going to cut it... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

i got 1 aq sdc 2.5 10 which is close to the 2510s you have.I have 1.2 cubes plus the port(25 sq in by 23 inches long. its very loud for the 250 watts i got pushing it.So try more port since you already havr the big box...if that dont work,go with less air space.

oh and mine is a "blowthru" in a single cab s-10.I downsized from the 15 I had in the blowthru to the 10.

 

[oxsign 5,000+ posts]

Well what I'm going to do is add more port area with a slot port. Which in turn will eat up some air space to bring the size down some. My final drawing gives me 44sq" of port area, and about 2.4 cubes. I should have it done late today, if not then by tomorrow. Problem is IT'S FOCKIN HOT OUTSIDE TODAY!!!! HAHAHAHA
