Port recommendation...

[nugget68]

I've kind of been all over the place in the last few weeks as to what subwoofer size I want to go with, so I'm just trying to figure out my best option... I think I might be leaning towards the Sundown E 8 now in a ported box... I can't really go over these dimensions... 12x17x9. if I go with a pvc port, what would be the best position and size of it? sub would be on the 12 inch wide part of the box, either down or up firing...looking for 33 hertz...

have you seen if the box that sundown supplies on the website works for you?

Dimensions not adequate enough to get 33hz tuning with proper port area unless you have the port sticking out 9-14 inches

I'm pretty sure the box on their website won't work for my space... as far as it sticking out, I could probably make that work... it would go under the seats that way... or if it could have curves in it, I could run it out the back and up...

well I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the E8V3... I think for now I'll go ahead an build the recommended ported box from Sundown and just leave the console out... if it bugs me not having the console in I'll just build a sealed box... I'll update once I get everything installed... thanks!
