Started it tonight. It is 2.45cu ft tuned to 32hz. The sub will be inverted behind the drivers seat and obviously the port will be behind the passenger. I'm thinking about a flared port but I'm not sure yet... Here are pics I'm going to work on it tomorrow and hopefully get it put together
I couldnt find anyone to buy the 12 so I decided to go with it. I'm WAY to poor to buy 2 more subs and still have this one. bout to double my hours every week at work so I hope that changes. haha
thanks guys. I'm so fukkin excited to hear what this will sound like in my truck. My 15 Rocked my jeep so we will see about the 12
"its about time" I know. I built one box but it did it in a rush and it came out looking like sh!t and ever since then I've been busy so I'm just now getting around to making it... Still pissed that I didnt have 2 8's but oh well.
Thanks Mark I finished tonight!! More pics. All I am waiting for is the amp to get here and it will be up and running. I will carpet it later, right now I'm a broke mofo plus, I'm adding on a little something to it next week...
Ive got a zx750.1. I blew my last one and didnt feel like sending it off to get fixed so I got a new one. one, its upside down to save airspace, two, it just looks better IMO
P rick. That would be funny. Ive always thought, the bigger the sub the funnier the backside of it looks. The cone just dwarfs the magnet
With the sub inverted it wont be taking up airspace inside the box therefor I can build it a little smaller, which is what I needed in the truck. Also, I bought wires to hook up to the VC so it doesnt look tacky. They are not plain looking ones. As long as I try and make it look good, it will.
thanks. I bought 2 sheets of MDF for some reason so I now have another sheet I need to find something to do with. I might build a higher tuned box for sh!ts and giggles
well one thing im thinking is you might be able to help cool the subwoofers voice coil better that way and one way is with the air conditioning in the vehicle and that would help control impedance rise from heat....this would be good in a spl only type situation as well possibly allowing you to apply more power to a subwoofer
Thanks paul. yeah, I liked your mag box where you could see the magnet on the mag... Yanks needs to do that too. I especially like this b/c I love black and with the arsenal being all black, it kinda makes me touch myself in naughty places.
sean said he thinks he may be able to use the air conditioning to help cool the sub when being used in an SPL application. but the amount of air that the speaker would displace when being played would defeat the purpose of air conditioning cooling the speaker, unless the air conditioning was being blown directly on the speaker. right?
yeah it was just a quick thought i had figuring the air outside the box would be cooler than inside the box but ideally using it for spl you would have a coil cool anyway before burping so there's no gain to be had there really....but daily use it would probably help a little if your overpowering the sub and you would smell the coil quicker if you were overheating it...so overall my idea wasnt as good as I thought
good point theives. I would assume that you're right but like sean said, the outside air has to be different than that inside the box so it may help a little. I just know it saves space and looks sweet to me. haha
