I did my first box because of you and it turned out great. Its tuned to 20hz and the goal was to be as windy as possible with one 12 inch sub (ground zero GZRW 30-D2). Thank you for all your precious information!

bro got any demos that sounds sick.

WinISD is a super powerful tool once you learn how to use it. I wanted 8’s under the back seat of my F150. Winisd showed me that 3 would give more spl than 4. They are super clean and play way low for only 3-8’s. They are Skar svr.

Free Tip: You can simulate cutting layouts by creating a 48x96 panel, make it a group/component. Duplicate your entire project (select it all, copy and paste) then use the rotate tools to make them all flat and lay them on the 8x4 panel you made before. This can help visualise cutting and find the best cuts to minimise wastage and maximise leftovers 😊

People look down on 6.5 subs, but implemented right, theyll hit and satisfy just as well as bigger drivers. Im upgrading crappy 6.5" Bose free-air door subs in my old trailblazer, I'd like to somehow get the speaker area enclosed so that what takes their place has some chance of making quality sound. Was thinking of working with some thin gauge foam and forming some kind of bag like enclosure as to not interfere with the window glass, .25 cu ft is the min goal and im sure theres enough space to get close.

You could try building out some fiberglass pods.

You gotta reconfigure that amp rack and use the whole backside of the cab keeping it relatively thin.....then you can fit a hugeeee box. Although that's not everyones cup of tea, and makes accessing the amps allot harder to tune. Maybe something for future videos.

Dunno if you have made a mistake, the design was 2x subs per box with the given port design then you've combined 2 boxes with the 2 ports into 1 outlet, I can see that you've doubled the width/area on the combined half of the port is that going to throw your calc's out isnt it?

my air speed velocity is 50-60m/s and you can't hear it unless your ear is close to the port

If I set my head unit bass boosts to max as well loudness settings to max and eq to powerfull or super bass then set my setting for my amplifier for sub while those are set like that. Do I then need to worry about sub clipping if I set the head unit to weaker less powerful settings? Like turning loudness settings on headunit lower. Basically heard that if I set amplifier up not to change headunit setting after to more powerfull settings because it could cause damage or clipping?

I got a question about that xmax value. context: For my box and 12" driver I tuned the port much lower, 25hz. and bumped the internal volume to 2.6 ft³ - which moved the Xmax frequency lower too, trying to avoid needing infrasonic filter and trying to get more output down to 20hz - a lot of tracks I enjoy have frequencies as low as 20. and I have some nice 6x9's dealing everything above 70hz with the subs doing everything below. Are there any disadvantages to doing this?

Due to space limitations and having four 10's I want to use, I find my answers to using an isobaric pair in a ported enclosure and that's what I'm going to do.

@JasonWW2000

6 ай бұрын

I would have the box planned out before you buy the subs. These little rascals need 0.6 cu ft net each for a ported box. So if you were going to build a ported enclosure you would probably only be able to use two of these. Try to get 1.3-1.4 cubic foot gross and use a single 4-in aero port. If you were going sealed they only need 0.25 cu ft each. So you could put all four of them in a one cubic foot enclosure. You need to measure behind your seat area and see what size of an enclosure you can fit, keeping in mind that the subs need a little bit of air space to move.

Old school brand that was recently resurrected.

It's a really good design, but it has me wondering why you'd use 4x 6.5" subs, you don't seem to have a backseat, why not use bigger, more efficient subs? Unless you got those for free, those little subs might be proportional in size, but they most definitely are not proportional in price.

You aren’t trying hard enough. I have a gen 4 ram too, and I have just over 4 cubes in a vented enclosure….with a fully functional back seat. You can also cut those stupid pockets out from under the back seat and make a pretty huge under seat, front facing enclosure similar to gen 5s and other truck brands.

The actual driver that you use is not really going to affect the port tuning. Port tuning has more to do with the enclosure. This is why you can buy a prefab box tuned to a certain frequency. The particular subwoofer that you use is important in telling you what size of enclosure and what port tuning is going to work best for that particular sub.
