Hey guys,
I put a hole in my Alpine type R sub a few weeks ago. Turns out screwdrivers and subs don't mix too well.
I decided to purchase the SoundQubed HDS310
I've heard pretty good things about these little puppys. Anyways I threw it in my box I built for my Alpine Type R and it's not sounding very nice at all. The bass is just one note, it doesn't go very low and sounds pretty hollow.
I should mention that I have this sub slightly under powered, it's rated for 1200W RMS and I have it powered with a 1000W RMS amp. MB Quart DSC 1000.1
However, I think that the enclosure is my issue, not the lack of power.
This is the box I have right now.
I emailed SoundQubed and this is what they told me about my box. "The numbers don't quite add up. Looks like you have a very very long port too."
This was their reply for the box dimensions. "For the HDS310 you will want 1.25^ft NET with 20sq" of vent at 23" long to tune you to 36hz."
Does enclosure sound like it might by my problem? Honestly I'm pretty bad at the science behind subwoofer boxes and designs. Does anyone know a design that would meet those requirements? If they wouldn't mind walking me through the math that would be awesome so I could learn.
I also have two questions about subwoofer box creation.
1. Does sanding the edges of your port pieces make a difference?
2. Should I silicone the inside of the box to make it more air tight.
I was just going to create the box out of 3/4inch plywood like I did my last one.
TL : DR version.
I have a HDS310
I need a box design that "has 1.25^ft NET with 20sq" of vent at 23" long to tune it to 36hz."
My trunk dimensions are:
17" High
39" Length
36" Deep
I appreciate anyone taking the time to read this and replying. You guys are the best.
