Will this box work with this sub?

[NJTStang11 10+ year member]

I purchased 1 10" MTX 8000 Sub (1000 Watts/400RMS/4ohm)

It will be powered by a 400watt amp.

My friend has a Q Logic Sealed Box (1.25 cubic feet)

How will this sub sound in this box?

I really don't have the extra cash to pay $60 for a box, my friend is giving me this for $10. Should I use this box or would I be better off buying a different one for $20 at the flea market?

The subs specs are here, Im a complete newbie to car audio, so I dont even know. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/imdaman.gif.bc6c552e19aa4ad8c47461144f40eb1a.gif

build your own

it'll be fine, but using a single ten @ 400 rms, i'd definitely go ported. just my 2 cents.

He said the box can be ported. My question is...how? Yes, I'm a huge car audio newbie //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

NgSM13 or Jmac will design a box for you. it'll take you awhile to get aquainted with all this stuff. if you want to hurry up and get your shit installed, have someone else plan.

or go here, use the ported plans for 1.25 ft. cubed. its the third page.

or.....

i'm not a fan of prefab boxes b/c they're usually made the cheapest way possible and of 5/8 MDF instead of 3/4, but you could use that box and very easily add a round port to it. this would be the cheapest way. you'll want to use a single 4 inch diameter pvc. i dont have bass box pro 6 on this computer, but i'm sure if you someone here would be more than pleased to plug in the numbers in bbp6 and figure out the necessary port length for a 1.25 ft. ^3 box with a 4 inch diameter pipe. c'mon guys anyone, quick easy calculation on bbp6?

 

[bcarpenterfhl 10+ year member]

oh, i'd reccomend a tuning of 32-35 Hz. to anyone that wants to figure out the port length.

Thanks!

I'd love the help for the porting and such as well.

Keep it coming.
