Yes, better glue it and then screw it. Will do that thanksYou can screw itI would glue it then screw it then seal inside with liquid nails or some other construction adhesive
A lot of misinformation here.You can screw itI would glue it then screw it then seal inside with liquid nails or some other construction adhesive
My thoughts about your port would be to acquire a potato, grill igniter and a can of hairspray.Yes, better glue it and then screw it. Will do that thanks
what about my port? any thoughts?
really??? only glue no screws??? I saw many DIY in internet, they always end the work with screws. anyways, screws are good or bad?I'll give the box one last chance, and will screw it, screws are affordable. Like I said, I live in spain, here's no way to find profesional enclosures. Nor I have the tools for DIY from scratch. 70l its the right volume for ported box for MTX-RT-1504. maybe bigger enclosure would be still better, but 70l is enough.
Quality wood glue bonds way better than screws. Screws rattle off when exposed to vibration. glue is a permanent bond between wood, Done right, its stronger than the wood itself. Thing with pre-made boxes, they dont do anything right so you literally spent money on garbage. 70 liter is not the right volume you need to be around 85 liter or so because the sub takes up space, the port takes up space. Thats the difference between gross Liters vs NET liters. NET is the space you have after subtracting EVERYTHING that takes up space in the box, its the only number that matters. Right now you are most likely way less than 70 liters net.no, I spent 110€ for that freakin box (110$ more or less), I won't throw that away that soon.Despite it has been glued together instead of screw it, its a 2cm thick MDF. I'll try to fix it by putting screws on it. then I will put some silicone to seal it, and make some tests.
Guys I live in spain, its not that bad like brazil, but its far away from USA in terms of caraudio knowledge.
so I won't get a better Enclosure that easy. and anyways, I repeat again, the enclosure is good to go for 1 15". I don't know why you all have to hate on it. the port i did is maybe wrong, the placement of the sub is maybe wrong. the freakin car I'm using is maybe wrong too. but the enclosure is right once I fixed the bending. so If you want to help me out, give me some right input on my making.
Its useless to say, you have to put a front firing port, if the car has a freakin sealed trunk.
I attach some pictures to make you see how I did the setup. If you have a better Idea, I'm listening, thanks!!!
the taramps, I'm changing it for an audiosystem or STEG. both are italian stuff, rated at 850RMS
I also saw a soundstream, very cheap, but its only 700RMS
the first picture is upside down, you have to rotate it 180º
just because you run into one or two dumb@sses doesnt mean you can generalize the whole nation. They can do SQ way better than you as well. AGain you just ran into the ghetto mother fkers that dont know what they are doing. Your whole area you live in sounds like complete sh*t when it comes to car audio.looks great, I love that setup. but I immagine its too hard for my actual skills. Why dont you like the port opposite to the driver??? even if the port is bended inside the enclosure.
About the brazilian style: I never said they don't get loud. Because they do get loud, and its not a surprise for me that they win SPL competition. Now the SQ is another story. And I'm complaining about their way to set up. they only care about spl and noise.
Yesterday, I figured out, my amp was not even connected to the SUB out, some brazilian guy changed it to REAR Out. I brought my car to a paintshop for some inner painting, and a randoom brazilian guy simply took out my Android navi, and made the change. They are freakin Obsessed with their **** of putting everything at full range, even ****** tweeter. I don't have anything against brazilians, my best friend is brazilian, and he runs his twin 15" sub at full range. Lots of SPL and distorsion but no SQ at all.
