Need to Know; Custom Box Info

[zierbox 10+ year member]

Just a note; All you guys wanting enclosure designed / built or what ever

I keep seeing all these air space or volume request with speaker size/ tuning frequencies and so-on

It is very important to know more information

like the type of vehicle and more

The environment (Vehicle) will seriously effect “ALL” these factors

An Experienced Subwoofer Enclosure Designer (not just builder)

Needs to account for All the variables

True available space

Locations and surroundings for new enclosure

Distance to the Listeners

The Acoustical Characteristics of the Environment (different vehicles and certain

locations inside of that vehicle will react differently

Power Demands

Audio Objective (Type of Music, Response and SPL Levels)

Cosmetics (Looks)

Cost (The Cost of a Custom Subwoofer Enclosure can go and be divided up in

many directions)

You can spend a lot of money on just Looks (Fiberglass, Paint, Vinyl, Plex, Neon,

ECT...)

You can spend a lot of money on Performance (SPL or Sound Quality)

It’s finding the right Balance for that particular Project

An Expensive Subwoofer and Amplifier dose Not Equal GOOD BASS

Straight cut MDF and a Box Program dose Not Equal GOOD BASS

Smaller and\or Fewer Subwoofers Done Right Will Out Perform More and\or Larger Subwoofers Done Wrong

Big and Expensive Subwoofers (W7, 9500, Power T) is Not Always More Bass

Big and Expensive Subwoofer Sound Bad in Cheap Boxes; Spend the money on the Enclosure not the Sub

well I need to know how to determine the port tuning, a well explained formula so I can make a box for the 15" btl Im about to buy

Would it be worse or bad if I make a fiberglass box and just stick the port in the middle of the box instead of up against the wall of it, I want the sub to port into the cab while its in the trunk from the back of the box through my armrest in back seat, or should i use mdf for the back and side walls and port it out that way
