(you can use vinyl). |

Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO Post Number: 1496 Registered: Jul-05 | I am doing a square pattern like muddy mentioned and facing them towards the front seats. Im going to try and do around 300-350 inches of port and the box i have designed right now is ~18.25cuft before all displacement (44W,36H,23D). Chad im not going to carpet the box at all. its just going to be for comps/fun. TUNING! 44hz as of right now. but im not sure. my goal is to have it between 15.5-16cubes after displacement, which should be easy. bracing??? |

Then put a layer of MDF on the inside of the frame...2 would be better. For the baffle, use 2-4 layers of MDF and brace front to back w/ at least 1/2" threaded rod. Subs stacked in a square pattern on the passenger side would be Ok....but put the port on the drivers side from the floor to ceiling. That will get you started. |

Its a lot of work.. wish I had the time and another vehicle to do it.. Although if I could come across a van for cheap cheao I'd make a 4th order bandpass and throw in my SX.. Btw Marshall. did you ever meter your SX in the port?? |
