[QUOTE="agarabaghi, post: 7547923, member: 632013"] So some of you may have followed my thread or read my posts before, but for those that don't this is an install in a boat. Right now ive built a : shaped ported box for a sundown sa10, tunes to ~32hz. The box sits in the open area of the boat and the port fires into fiberglass walls .... but basically its open to air. Do you think a ported box is the right design for this application or could a sealed box be more beneficial? The finaly plans were to have the ported box in the walkway nose like in this pictures with the port firing forward, and then a small sealed box with another Sa 10 under the drive seat. Could the fact that this is not in the back of a car or in a trunk render the port useless? I think ill build the small sealed box first, and listen to it in the same placement as the ported box and see which sounds better then decided, but i was looking for any input... Here is the current placement of the ported box: [IMG]http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/8011/imagewbg.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/1020/imagerlu.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/701/imagejzl.jpg[/IMG] The port is under the white deck which holds another cushion: [IMG]http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/838/imagepjlb.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
