This is my first post in a long time. i can usually find any answer i need just by picking through the threads but this one has me on my ass. I am building a new box for my 10"s but i dont know which box to choose. it is going in the back cargto area of my jeep cheroke, that has 39 1/2" width in the back. I was going to build 2 of the reccomended boxes (at 1.45^ft ea) but they are 22" in width each...so 43 1/4" overall. i was goin to build the box by Moe Lester but i got bored one day and did the math to recalculate the dimentions of the Mtx box so that it is the same Volume internally and i still have the same amount of port area but 2 of them will fit with matching ports in the middle...SEE ATTACHEMENT. chenck my math but it is pretty close. it come out to being 0.066^ft over, but i plan to use corner braces to compensate for that. now im stuck between which box to build!! the Moe Lester box at 3^ft and i would use bracing to compensate for the Volume of the other sub. or should i build the mtx box that i redid to fit??? I have: 2 MTx 8500-1044 subs, and i have a kenwood kac-9152D that puts out 900wRms @ 1 ohm

Moe Lester Box 3^ft @ 33Hz.

I would like some input on my calculations of the box...weather or not it is correct.

and Finally WHICH box should i build!??!! which one would sound better??

 
Nice drawing of the sub //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
haha! thats what i started drawing b/c i found my old usr manual. then i looked at the ported box page and pulled out my calculator. Win isd gives me a tuning of 39Hz after sub disp for the box. theses subs have a Fs of 44.....which one would sound louder/Cleaner??? 3^ft @ 33 or 1.42^ft per Sub @ 39hz....

Is this a blue or blue/white wire from the Kenwood? The ACC wire is red and although that should turn on the amp, it is not the prefered wiring...

The sound deadening is going to be more about preventing vibration from metal surfaces and adding unwanted noise. Does it have the JBL system...

It's called the K.I.S.S. preciniple ("Keep it simple, stupid!")... Takes the guesswork out of parallel/series wiring.
