Long time lurker, first time poster so bear with me.
Vehicle : 2006 Ford Focus ZX4 ST
Location in the vehicle: Driver side trunk facing passenger side (Factory enclosure location)
Space available (Length x Width x Height): 8x20x20
Subwoofer make and model: Massive Hippo 84
Subwoofer Size: 8"
Number of Subwoofers: 1
Type of Port (Kerfed, Slot, Aero, etc.): slot
What type of music do you like?: dubstep & rap mostly
Is your goal SPL or Everyday Music?: everyday music
Tuning Freq (Hz): 35hz
Volume : 1.13 cuft after displacements
Questions:
I've run I to an issue with my design. I'm really trying to stick within the dimensions listed as I'm trying to maximize trunk space. Having just got rid of a massive 4.75 cuft enclosure, I'm really liking having trunk space and don't want to lose it.
My issue is with the port that I have designed. The easiest way to build the enclosure puts the sub and port on different planes (sub towards passenger side, port towards rear or front of vehicle). I know that's not ideal, but how detrimental would it be SQ wise? And is there a better way to port the enclosure without having to change the design completely?
Box specs:
Front/back - 20" x 18.5"
Top/bottom - 20" x 8"
Side 1 - 18.5" x 6.5"
Side 2 - 16.875" x 6.5"
Port - 6.5" x 15.4"
Port Ratio - 4:1
Vol before displacements - 1.29
Vol after displacements - 1.13
Here's what I'm working with at the moment:
Resonant frequency of the car is right around 55hz, FWIW.
