Gold Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 1981 Registered: Jun-04 | ur hearing it come from the port of the box? perhaps port noise? lol what type of box? was it made to woofer specifications or is it a prefab? |
New member Username: SparkzPost Number: 2 Registered: Nov-07 | it's prefab and yes it's coming from the port of the box and it's really annoying during high volume. here is a picture of my sub with it's box. it's a simple box i think it's the cheap kind. but i wanna be sure it's the box before i buy a new one. http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/3391/img1980lb3.jpg |

Silver Member Username: B3n07Louisville, Ky USA Post Number: 583 Registered: Jul-07 | are you tring to process food with your sub cuz that port looks like a food grinding thing |
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 4107 Registered: Jul-06 | Prob port noise. Not surprising at all since prefab boxes really suck. |
Gold Member Username: HdubbTeam Revolution Post Number: 2877 Registered: Nov-04 | how much power is thed sub getting? the new premier subs with the air suspension make a funny noise when get to full excursion. but more then likely port noise. =/ |
Gold Member Username: HdubbTeam Revolution Post Number: 2878 Registered: Nov-04 | you might try taking the whole port out and buying a new one at partsexpress |
New member Username: SparkzPost Number: 5 Registered: Nov-07 | the sub is getting 230 RMS at 4 ohm right now . the grill is part of the port should i try and cut it out ? Logan what do u mean by clean ground ? it seats on the floor of the trunk . http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/764/img1981ze1.jpg http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/787/img1980gt4.jpg |
Gold Member Username: Logan__tilleHEMIKLR Post Number: 9068 Registered: Feb-06 | Just make sure all the paint is cleaned off, and its just bare metal. S |
Gold Member Username: HdubbTeam Revolution Post Number: 2883 Registered: Nov-04 | hes talking about the grd wire from your amplifier. yes try cutting it out. |
Gold Member Username: JohnfiacA-ToWn, 9515 thumpin... What u bumpin? Post Number: 3868 Registered: Mar-06 | its a prefab box; either way u should get a new one; but this time somthing at good specs for that sub universal boxes always suck |
New member Username: SparkzPost Number: 6 Registered: Nov-07 | u mean making sure no plastic is touching the connections ? i might be buying a new box today it's also prefab but my buddy has a pioneer 1000W on it and it sounds great . |
New member Username: SparkzPost Number: 7 Registered: Nov-07 | U guys sure it's the box ? it's the kind of noise u get when u blow on paper from the side coming out of the port.. and if i want to build a box where do i get the measures ? |
