Reece's box ideas
|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids love my rhyme... Post Number: 4304 Registered: Feb-06 |   I want to double, maybe triple, baffle and pad under the amp so it's not rattling like crazy. I'm going with blue LEDs to shine through the plexi window that will sit between my back captains chairs and i'm going to probably do a battery rack on each side of the box for symmetry. Its going to be around 4.2 cubes after sub and port displacement tuned to 33 hz. I am debating on using aeros, going flared slot, or just regular slot. Also, here's a picture of the area it will be going into so you have an idea of what I mean.  Thoughts? |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids love my rhyme... Post Number: 4306 Registered: Feb-06 | yeah i was thinking of maybe doing something like that driz. i don't wanna do a rack because i want to have some room for other sh!t in the back of my car, and there's about 20 inches to the hatch. the amp is so fuggin big it's pretty incovenient. |

Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 2652 Registered: Mar-06 | reece, plans are lookin sweet dude... always been a fan of the denali's personally... that port wall won't interfere with that plexi window will it? |
|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids love my rhyme... Post Number: 4314 Registered: Feb-06 | i'm thinking no. that's part of the reason why i am debating going with aeros or flared. could i go down a little bit in box size if i go with aeros? |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 18659 Registered: Oct-05 | if you gonna go with some aeros then get those 6 inch ones. |
|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids love my rhyme... Post Number: 4319 Registered: Feb-06 | yeah that's exactly what i was thinking, chad!  any clue if i could make the box smaller? |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 18673 Registered: Oct-05 | dont' make it smaller. just keep the specs you have planned. if you do aeroports, you probably need at least 2 6inch aeros. |
|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids love my rhyme... Post Number: 4325 Registered: Feb-06 | well i need more room on the sides for battery racks and as of now i only have 7 inches on each side and that is WAY too small... as of right now it's going to be 6.473 gross and the specs are 20 h x 34 w x 20 d. I could probably go 24 or 25 deep and cut the width to 30, though. that's probably what i'll do. |

Gold Member Username: Andrew571Stillwater/Edmond, Oklahoma USA Post Number: 1480 Registered: Oct-05 | is there a reason u wont make it any taller? |
|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids love my rhyme... Post Number: 4330 Registered: Feb-06 | it's prefectly level with my backseats when they are leaned back and it's right on point with the window line. |

Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 2207 Registered: Mar-06 | gonna look sweet man. Why wouldnt he make it smaller if he used areos? Those would take up less box space and he could make it smaller for the batteries. Use areos, make the box 3" deeper and downsize it to account for the areos and I bet you could fit the batts in |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 3485 Registered: Dec-06 | OK I rarely comment in box threads but don't go with aero's for this. With a driver as brutal as this one is, slotted is going to give you many advantages. These include better cab bracing, no turbulence inside the box caused by the port tube, and no chuffing and port noise externally. There is a reason nearly all high output concert boxes are slot ported. The BL on the 5200 is insane and there is going to be some furious air wanting out of that thing... let him breathe. Go with a wide slot and flare it you know how. 1" MDF all around with a double baffle. |

Gold Member Username: Mj23dynastyThey Love 2 Hate Me, Most Hated a... USA Post Number: 1546 Registered: Oct-07 | Yea reece thts a pretty expensive amp u got there I wudnt want to even risk hurting it if tht were me. I think u should make a custom amp rack on the side of ur "trunk" like a vertical peiece of mdf on the side. I wud post a pic of what I'm tlkin bout but I'm @ work if u really want to kno ill post up later. Good luck |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8113 Registered: Jun-04 | something ill throw out too.....consider a external slot port if you can... it will make the box size smaller for the subwoofer but you can run the port any way you want and mount your amp somewhere in that layout...if you want an idea of what im talking about look at troy's build for his wifes car...you dont have to copy it just draw your visuals from it...this will also cut down on any port turbulence issues and maybe even give you a chance to setup a swappable port |

Silver Member Username: MesodummTri-City, Az Usa Post Number: 359 Registered: Apr-07 | Your Yukon and my Escalade look almost the same inside! That box is going to sound sweet! I put 2 12" in mine and i was killer! Good Job!! |
|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids love my rhyme... Post Number: 4345 Registered: Feb-06 | im not going external aero because it doesnt look good, and brad thanks for the info. the design JD made me called for flared with a lot of port area. |
|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids love my rhyme... Post Number: 4373 Registered: Feb-06 | okay, so here's the final set on my box (i think). gonna go 20 h x 30w x 24d, sub and port up, port is 22.5 x 3 x 29.3 long. considering doing plexi on both sides now. do yall think i should just stick witht he plexi just facing the hatch or just facing between my captains chairs and leave the back of the both just carpeted. |
|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids love my rhyme... Post Number: 4374 Registered: Feb-06 | forgot to mention the port is going to be flared slot port |
|
Gold Member Username: JkidderGunshine , State Flawda Post Number: 3283 Registered: Nov-05 | should be badasssssss. pics of the design?? |
|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids love my rhyme... Post Number: 4378 Registered: Feb-06 | i havent got pics of the design exactly yet, but i was hoping to get some feedback on the design and if its a good one. |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8168 Registered: Jun-04 | Reece...If you design the external port right it will be flush with the box similar to troys...thats what I was thinking of when i said it |
