is 2x 4" ports enough for my 12" or should i go with 2x 6"? or bigger?

 

[thorshammer1 10+ year member]

Unfortunately I have no ideas with aero's. I would think that 2 4's should suffice but If your looking for big numbers I have seen a single 6in do some damage off 1 12'. It was a burp box though.

It's currently 8 degrees out side with a wind chill in the negs! It will prob take me the better part of the day but I should get the new box in and subs mounted. Will take pics as I thaw out. lOL

Put the port wall in temp. I like to use L brackets when going through this step. I can pop the wall in and out shave it etc.. which will happen prob 8-10 times until we peak out.

Here's a few pics of the trunk tear down. The box actually slides in and out of the trunk. Lets hope the new one will as well. LMAO!!

Pics are coming. LOL my snots frozen to my mustache! Box is in subs are mounted just working on getting things rewired. had to come up with something diff. cause of the extra box length.

Nice boot to the back of the box and she was in!

Thanks. Just gotta warm up drink some more coffee and finish wiring this thing. Hope to get some new numbers for ya soon!

Got everything fired up and it looks like we may have a winner!

Where before I could do a ducttape seal job around the box the port rips the tape off with the pressure! LMAO

Camera died before I could get more pics. I'll have some up tomorrow with a new vid!

Gotta defrost my ...... they are frozen!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Rob have you thought about fiberglass instead of duct tape i know it's too cold for it now but what do you think?

i thing im going to do a mess of it, im going to make door panels for the rear seats out of 1/2 MDf or Ply and fiber those over and carpet, and then cut MDF to fit between the box and doors tight, buy a back deck pannel skin it and fiberglass it, then mdf the box right into the car and carpet it right in.

 

[thorshammer1 10+ year member]

Yep thought about it and may do that but in the mean time Ducttape works for testing purposes.

I notice my subs getting hotter with my new box so I lengthend the 2nd port wall to shrink the common chamber and it made a huge diff.

Found a couple pieces of wood to help seal the sides and have it pretty well sealed. Now I just have to get my meter up to date and we will see how it looks on the meter.

All in all its friggin mad loud and way deeper than before. Box need to be sealed and resined to eliminate box flex and noise. It's gonna be a beast!!
