Why can't this be ported?

[Bassin Brandon]

On the JL site it says the 13TW5 can't be ported.... does anyone know why?

would I be safe to port my 13TW5s they will be in separate boxes but running off of one J2-1000.1

I really want to be able to do the hair trick //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif the chicks sitting infront of any ported box should be victims of a hair trick right?

PLease leave feedback, thanks!

Those are NOT the subs for doing hair tricks. And no, do not port them. They are not designed for it.

The suspension will not like it.

is the "T" series shallow mount? if so that would be your reason why they aren't meant for ported. what kind of vehicle do you drive?

Yes they are the shallow mount.

My guess is a Jeep for the car....

even a small hair trick? they are going to be positioned on the sides facing inward next to my rear seats... basically theyll be a few inches from the sub..would it cause any sort of hair trick? or a decent rumble/shake?

Post the the T/S parameters.

hmm...wonder if his name is Brandon too.

OP i wouldn't expect to be doing any hair tricks unless you have at least like 2 15's. I'm not talking about shallow mount stuff, you would be wanting to get the 1k+ subs. shallow mounts don't have much excursion and definitely do not have the motor force to produce a hair trick.

Most likely not. They are not made for that.

You will get a good, smooth sound from them but they are not for "shaking" things. Please do not use them in a ported app.

JL Audio 13TW5 Subwoofers - Car Audio Subwoofers

only 9.7mm of excursion. will not do much for hair tricks.

LOL 13w5's for hairtricks LMFAO! You'll want to look into other brands besides JL if you ever want to do a hair trick. You should probably see how many hairtrick vids there are on youtube using JL equipment.

a hair trik is not from a girl putting her head in front of a port. it needs to move enough air to make a significant exchange between the outside and inside of the car.

I see. ok well yes I do have a jeep for a car. and as for the comment about bending down is false.. the subs will be like head/neck level due to the set up of the car haha. Ehhh will I need another battery? If so how much would it cost me? I have seen videos of people getting a good shake/mirror flex in their cars using 13TW5s so I am assuming I can expect some more rumble and tumble in my car by adding these?

The bandwidth response leans towards sealed by a small margin... no reason why you couldn't port them with good results...

 

[Bassin Brandon]

haunz, would it be advisable? and what about the battery?
