leak in box and port is too close to the wall of the truck

Box does not leak. There's 8 inches from port to side wall

I would have designed it to where the sub was all the way to the right, and over top the port wall. You want to design boxes to where you can get the most amount of usable space. In his case, the sub is right next to the port opening and the area above the port is just dead space.

indeed. bad design, imo.

OP should seal up that cutout and mount the sub on above the port. Add spacers if it doesn't fit.

The area above the port IS NOT DEAD SPACE, explain your reasoning, you know using science, that this volume of air is magically isolated from the rest of the enclosure volume.

The sub is right next to the internal port opening which = bad design.

yes thats what i think and i think the shape long and narrow with the sub in the port = bad deal

I did one like that in a std cab truck and didn't have any issues.

round port i think may act a tad differnt. i dont think i can explain it, but in my mind it works.

I think that box would also work better if the sub was placed above the port. The only way to find out is to build another one.

What if you have limited space and the port and sub can only be in thos places. For example, what if the sub mounting depth doesnt allow it to go higher?

Then put the port on top sub on the bottom I would assume. If not possible then I guess you would have to make a larger box or use smaller drivers.

This t1510 sounds great n a .5 sealed enclosure. Can't wait to hear it ported.

is that a new sub or have you always had the T model? i know they are more shallow than the other.

 

[burzendowski 10+ year member]

Have always had the t 1510. Dd says they have the same output as the standard.

the new box.
