Hey sean I was wondering if you could help me design a ported box for 2 kicker c15a subs. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem%26,1%26item%3D455958889 1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT I was thinking of tuning it to around 25 hz unless that is too low for these subs. I have no idea where I can find the ts parameters of these so I need quite a bit of help. If you will help design ill go out to my s10 and grab some measurments for you.

Alright ive taken measurements. The box can be up to 44 1/2" long. It can be up to 20 " tall, at 20" tall the box can be 1 ft wide. At a nicer level of 17" tall the box can be 13 1/4" wide. I want the subs to firing towards the rear of my extended cab s 10 with the ports firing whichever way you think is best. Im not sure if I want slot ports or circle ports. I want to have good sq which I understand comes from low tuned ported boxes but I still want it to be loud. If it will be substantially louder at a slightly higher tuning I would rather have them be louder. Im game for anything up to 35hz. I may power them with an old school rf 800a2 if they are 8 ohm subs. And also if the subs are firing into the rear of the cab they are going to have to be recessed into the box a couple inches or whatever the x max is. If you need any more info just ask cause im sure ive forgetten something.

Lets do an isobaric face to face and youll hit down LOW. youll have to wire them out of phase positive negative on one sub and negative positive on another sub

the box measurements will be 42.5 wide 15.5 high 11.5 deep all internal measurements with four 2 inch (id) ports 14.5 inches long each. This will tune you to 23 hz and give you 4.38 cf before the subs and ports are added and just drop them in and boom (after the speakers are broken in at moderate volumes of course)....use .75 mdf and your set. puth the ports on the top side of the box toward the ceiling a good few inches away from the subs.

Isobaric
In order to get more bass out of a smaller box, isobaric driver mounting was invented. An isobaric system is constructed of two (usually) identical drivers mounted in a small sealed subenclosure. Wired in phase, the drivers are mounted front-to-back with the same orientation (as shown). Wired out of phase, the drivers may be mounted with either with a front-to-front ("clamshell") or back-to-back orientation. Such opposed mounting is actually preferable since it discourages standing waves between the two drivers' cones.
As opposed to arrays, an isobaric system may be considered a multiple driver system with its drivers acoustically in series rather than acoustically in parallel as in an array. Isobaric designs are inefficient, both acoustically and financially, yet they are a legitimate means of reducing the size of a system. Unlike arrays, isobaric systems enjoy no Vd advantage over single driver systems.. Isobaric systems may be either sealed or vented.

they do offer two benefits a smaller enclosure and more pronounced low end bass

I've never really seen the point of isobaric vented enclosures. An isobaric enclosures is about 6db less efficient than if the subwoofers were housed if the in their own enclosures. You'd gain 3db if you put them in a sealed enclosure instead. You'll gain some low end with an isobaric, but at the expense of efficiency.

i know knacko but this is the best low boom with good sq i could think of for these subs the box needs to be large for these things plus I thought wed try for something different. It will boom in that truck anyway and do it low while its at it.

Sean the isobaric idea sounds good but the subs that I have dont really need to be shown off you know, they are kind of ugly. Lol I just forgot the password to my account so I guess im back to anon

Well do you think that maybe we could tune the box a little higher then? Its alright if I dont hit as low. Their is still room for bigger air space in the measurments I gave you could it be enough? Thanks

The mounting depth of the drivers is 7 1/8". If his S10 has a bench seat, it won't be possible. If he can drop the arm rest, isobaric would be an option.

I found this too: http://www.kicker.com/images/manuals/02CompTechManualV2_0.pdf

Hey Lou, if possible, it would be nice to get some pics of the back for us to work with.

Ported isn't an option unless you go isobarically, or want to extend it up about another foot and a half.

Lou,

The Thiel small parameters for Kicker C154a, according to Bassbox 6 Pro database are as follows:

Fs:18.22 Hz
Qms:8.208
Vas:622.7 liters or 21.99 cu ft. (this is too high)
Xmax:7.68mm
Sd:845sq cm
Qes.476
Re:3.44Ohms
Le:.34mH
Z:4Ohms
Pe:500watts

The Vas is extremely high. I am not sure if this is a typo, or infact this woofer has that large of a Vas. With a Vas of that capacity it requires a humongous box.

It has a Qts of .53 (which is best suited for a closed box)

Here are the graphs. The yellow is for the closed box. The red is for the vented box.

Upload

The closed box is 5.206 cu ft and has a cutoff (F3) at 37.76 Hz. (33.65" X 20.8" X 12.85" internal dimmensions for each sub.)

The vented box is 25.96 cu ft. with a tuning frequency (Fb) at 14.82 Hz, and cutoff (F3) at 17.17 Hz. (57.49" X 35.53" X 21.96" internal dimmensions for each sub). The port is 4" in diameter by 2.18" long.

Like I said, the Vas is way too high. Perhaps theres something wrong with the Ts in my database. Thats why it gave me a huge enclosure. But all the other parameters line up, otherwise I would get a red light next to the Vas, and it doesnt.

This program has been compared to others out there and it came very accurate.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the manufacturers have posted a recomendation that doesnt suit the driver.

I don't use WinISD beta. My program doesn't configure for isobaric enclosures.

One thing that seems strange is the Vas. That number is way too high. I've never seen a Vas that high.

Ported boxes just basicly cheat the woofer into thinking there is actually more box volume (compared to a sealed box) and therefore produces lower frequencies in a smaller enclosure.

Sound waves are cosine waves. So a speaker has to reproduce the wavelegths of a given frequency, by pumping air waves (like an air compressor) into the atmosphere. The larger the wavelength, the lower the note (frequency).

Better? ...... hmmmmmm

well lets just say that sealed enclosures produce a much cleaner response than a ported enclosure. Ported enclosures are sloppy and slow, compared to sealed enclosures.

The only benefit is convenience of a smaller box and lower bass.

Ugh................ Great

The database was way off.

Here; I ran the paramenters from the link above. I got better results for the sealed box. The vented box is still quite large, but not that big as before.

Again:

The yellow is for the sealed box 2.58 cu ft Qtc .707 F3 38.01 Hz. (26.59" X 16.43" X 10.16" internal measurements)

The red is for the ported box 12.19 cu ft Fb 16.63 Hz F3 16.75. Port is 4" X 7.068" long.

Juelz,

I'm not sure what you mean. Vented boxes produce a more dynamic range (meaning they go lower than sealed boxes). They also have an increase in volume around the cutoff frequency (F3).

Sealed boxes produce a much cleaner sound quality than ported boxes, but do not go as low as ported boxes.

If you are interested in building your own boxes, then I recomend a book, YES, A BOOK!

"Great Sound Stereo Speaker Manual - With Projects" by David B. Weems.

http://www.alibris.com/search/search.cfm?S=R&wauth=David+B.+Weems&siteID=WfbLd2h py3I-AyiqkY0ZG.PbsNgJ7yLHcw

This guy taught me alot. He has a few volumes by now, but I am sure that they're all great.

I'm reading a book by Weems right now - "Designing, Building & Testing Your Own Speaker System - With Projects". Not much about enclosures, but it's still a good read.

And Mixn, I don't suppose you'd want to send me X-over Pro? I've already got BassBox, but haven't been able to find X-over.

These calculations are what BassBox 6 Pro considers to be optimum box alignments. If you re happy with your dimensions, then keep it that way, otherwise here are your graphs:

Yellow is sealed 1.136 Cu Ft with a cutoff at 49.93 Hz. (21.76" X 14.02" X 9.239")

Red is ported 2.963 Cu Ft, tuned at 24.75 Hz, and a cutoff at 25.1 Hz. 3" port X 8.56" long. (29.51" X 18.81" X 12.2")

These are external dimensions.

Richie,

Your Dimmensions come out to be 1.262 Cu Ft. The optimum is 1.136 Cu Ft. You're off by almost diddly. In a closed box you could be off by alot more and still be ok.

Here are your graphs:

Yellow is optimum. It has a cutoff of 49.93 Hz.

Red is your dimmensions. It has a cutoff of 49.84 Hz.

I dont think you can get any more close than that.

These are for sealed boxes.

Its ok for low power applications. I recommend 1" MDF for better sound, or if you plan on thumping that thing.

It cost like $30-40 a sheet for the 1", compared to $20-25 a sheet for 3/4".

If you go with 1", the outside dimmensions will change.

nevermind mix i dont need you to run thos numbers, i dont want to keep bothering you cause i just keep revising the boxes like crazy..if the sq. ft. is around 1.136 should the box be good? like was it only that good cause of the shape of the box.

Ya you should be fine with 1.136 Cu Ft in a closed box. Even if you are off by.1 Cu Ft in a closed box, the response will not change drastically. In other words, yes, just do it, you will be fine.

As far as woofers facing each other it would only cause problems (IMO) if they were so close as to cause the opposing woofer to be pushed back in as the firing woofer is pumping outwards. In other words you would need extreme volumes (2000 watts+). If they are at an offset (angle), then that would be better.
