Need advice about my set up

[justinschmiidt 10+ year member]

i have 1 04 10 inch dual 2 ohm sub in i have a 1500 d class hifonics titan pushing it, i am getting 3 more subs in mid june, thats when my retailer says he will be able to discount me more since new models, anyways their in a small ported box, i bought off crutchfield. i filled 50% with polyfill, im about to build the inclosure for 4 10's but i need advice on box construction, i dont know anything about tuning or anything else. ive always bought prefab stuff. so any advice would help.

have posted pictures of the current setup

whats your question?

 

[justinschmiidt 10+ year member]

i need help with the design of the box, im going to have 4 for the 10's need to know what would be the best output sealed or ported and if ported what kind of design

i need help with the design of the box, im going to have 4 for the 10's need to know what would be the best output sealed or ported and if ported what kind of design

ported would get u the most output with the least power. so i'd go w/ that if your lookin for loud

and do u mean u want 4 seperate boxes for each 10?? just make one big box to fit all 4 in w/ about 1.25-1.50 cu.ft for each chamber

lol i meant 1 box, but i dont think i have enough room for 4 subs next to eachother , i might have to have them face up and the ports to the back of the trunk.

anymore input anyone else?

bump, getting ready to build the box really would like tips for these subs,

you need to wait on building the box. you need to goto the enclosure design section and read. If you don't understand how to tune a box yet you need to hold off for atleast a week and read read read. Take a look at the plans in there. I would build a seperate chamber for each speaker esp. if you box is gonna be a half circle because you can't fit four across.

ive decided to only go with 3 and i dont understand tuning at all if you could explain how i find this thatd be great. i got some program i found a link on here for or a reference or something and it didnt help at all. ive been looking and what not and i just cant figure it out.

pulled from sounddomain

the picture didn't come up though. here is the link and explains it real easy

the rest of the board sucks though lol.

The tuning frequency of a vented enclosure is a function of the net internal volume of the enclosure, the cross-sectional area of the vent, and the effective length of the vent. It is determined by using the following formula:

Fb denotes the frequency that the enclosure is tuned at.

Av denotes the cross-sectional area of the vent, measured in square inches. When using a round vent, Av is determined by using the formula {pi}radius^2. When using a square or rectangular shaped vent, Av is determined by the product of the vent's height and the vent's width.

Lv denotes the effective length of the vent, measured in inches. Do not confuse the physical length of the vent with Lv, as they are often times not the same due to end-correction factor. For an explaination on end-correction factor, please refer to this tutorial.

Vb denotes the enclosure's net volume, measured in cubic inches. This is the internal useable airspace within the enclosure; the amount of airspace that the subwoofer can "feel" as useable. Net volume is calculated by determining vent displacement, driver displacement, bracing displacement, end-correction displacement, etc and subtracting these values from the enclosure's internal gross volume. (Remember, the airspace within the vent is NOT airspace that the subwoofer can "use". The vent must be thought of as a solid object, and its entire volume must be subtracted in order to properly calculate net volume.)

thanks man i think once i read all that and understand it better it will be a big help, im looking for someone that will maybe build the box for me. or just hook me up with plans if not, car tunes said 400$ to build the enclosure when im not even spending 400$ on the subs so F that .
