Silver Member Username: Dub_cPost Number: 312 Registered: Mar-06 | My question is will there be a sound difference in a 1.2 cu sealed or a 1.4 cu sealed OR EVEN!! a 1.6 cu sealed? Thanks! |

|
Silver Member Username: Dub_cPost Number: 313 Registered: Mar-06 | So is this one of those "The bigger the better" I should go with either the 1.2 or just go for the 1.6? Thanks again |

Silver Member Username: Dub_cPost Number: 317 Registered: Mar-06 | I'm sorry your gonna have to bare with my dumb@ss but can you explain it for me! Thanks |
|
Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 5220 Registered: Jan-06 | when you put a speaker in a box the magnet and basket and stuff displaces airspace makeing the box smaller, you build it a tiny bit bigger to account for this. when all is said and done the total volume you are left with after the sub and port are in is the net. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dub_cPost Number: 318 Registered: Mar-06 | Ahhh ok then so lets say a 1.2 cu sealed box or maybe the 1.4 would be better I dont know how big the magnet is and how much basket will go in. |
|
Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 5221 Registered: Jan-06 | it will probably only displace .12-.15 i would just make the box 1.3 or something close to that and youll be fine. you can always put in some poly fill you might notice a very small change in sound with it maybe not. i liked it in one of my sealed boxes. |
|
Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 5222 Registered: Jan-06 | but if you really want that type r to shine port it. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dub_cPost Number: 319 Registered: Mar-06 | See I wish I knew all about porting, but I dont, someone told me to get a 2.0 cu sealed box and cut out a port, can this be done easily? |
|
Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 5242 Registered: Jan-06 | if you use an aero port search partsexpress.com for a 4" flared one. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dub_cPost Number: 320 Registered: Mar-06 | So you are sayin that if I get that 2.0 sealed box and get this:http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=260-403 it will work? |
|
Silver Member Username: Dub_cPost Number: 321 Registered: Mar-06 | Still need your help! |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 6731 Registered: Jun-04 | dont get that port its not what hes talking about |
|
Silver Member Username: Dub_cPost Number: 323 Registered: Mar-06 | Can someone tell me which one he could be talking about then. |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 6743 Registered: Jun-04 | well I found the port you need BUT one 4 inch aero is NOT anywhere near enough you would need two three inch aero ports http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=268-350 |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 6744 Registered: Jun-04 | in a 2 cubic feet net box |
|
Silver Member Username: Dub_cPost Number: 325 Registered: Mar-06 | Ok so I would need a 2 cu net box plus 2 aero ports? Seems a lil too much. |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 6750 Registered: Jun-04 | trust me I told someone one four inch wasnt enough and they didnt believe me now they have port noise....check linearteam thats what I did its never failed to steer me right when it comes to port size needed two three inch ports is just enough for a 32 hz port tune on 500 rms |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 6755 Registered: Jun-04 | but you dont have to go with aero ports at all you can do a slot port or use pvc for ports |
|
Silver Member Username: Dub_cPost Number: 327 Registered: Mar-06 | Wondering, is there any place like wooferetc or whatever that have a pre made ported box that will work with a type r? |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 6772 Registered: Jun-04 | pre made boxes are usually tuned too high and dont sound good and if not used with a subsonic to protect the sub it can be damaged ....making your own is the best bet for ported |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 6773 Registered: Jun-04 | oh and if they are tuned low enough they probably wont have enough port area which could also damage a sub |
