Bronze Member Username: Dupe112309Post Number: 58 Registered: Feb-08 | what specs should i be looking for as to what i should be asking them to build? i dont really know much about this so can actual plans be given or designed? |

Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://www.LowDownForu... Post Number: 3360 Registered: Jun-06 | First you need to measure the area you are working with and get your max dimensions. Then you go from there. It says in your specs what is recommended for your subs. Sealed Box Volume (cubic feet) 0.57 - 1 Ported Box Volume (cubic feet) 0.75 - 2 That is per sub. |

Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 559 Registered: Sep-06 | Oh SH!T----- Mustangs are the hardest d@mn cars to design and build sub boxes for because of the trunk openings. I'll ask the question right now to get it out of the way - for your Stang, do you have the ability to install the enclosure from inside the car by removing the back seat via the opening between the trunk and back seat area? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Dupe112309Post Number: 60 Registered: Feb-08 | yeah the damn thing is tiny....i can fold the seats down, but i dotn think its even as big as the trunk opening. i will get measurements and get back to you. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Dupe112309Post Number: 62 Registered: Feb-08 | oh are you saying remove the seats completely? or remove the seats, install the subs and then put the seats back? |
|
Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 560 Registered: Sep-06 | No, what I am saying is when the rear seat, the back part of the seat is removed, hopefully, there's an opening there and whatever the height and width of the opening is, the box can fit thru it and then put the seat back. Also, the size of the enclosure vs the space of the trunk area the box is to fit is going to dictate what you can/can't do in terms of the type of enclosure given the volume requirements. Just take measurements of everything and make a rough drawing noting what is what dimension wise. |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1125 Registered: May-07 | "Sealed Box Volume (cubic feet) 0.57 - 1 Ported Box Volume (cubic feet) 0.75 - 2" Are those the correct specs for these? I was thinking more around roughly 1cf sealed and 2cf ported (give or take). |

Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://www.LowDownForu... Post Number: 3365 Registered: Jun-06 | Thats what it says on crutchfield. Couldn't find enclosure specs on alpines site. |

Silver Member Username: M0nkeyman692Post Number: 515 Registered: Feb-07 | thats what it says.. it says you can go from .57cuft to 1 cubic foot. or ported .75cuft to 2cuft.. |

Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 2159 Registered: Nov-06 | Gonna quote Pete here: "Manufacturer recommended box specs are about as vehicle-specific as air freshener" ...random guesses are just as accurate. I doubt anyone here has some sort of super intuition that tells them where to tune a port and how much volume the enclosure should contain given the vehicle. So stop acting like you do. That isn't directed at anyone specifically but too many people keep making recommendations of semi-random values. |

Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 561 Registered: Sep-06 | Cam, What you quoted in the post is the same sh!t I try to keep telling anyone and everyone when they ask about SQ this, spl that, hows it going to sound and the whole d@mn riot act. Design the enclosure, build to the spec's of that design, throw it in the vehicle and fire it up and tweak the he!! out of the system settings and then that's when ya know how good it does or doesn't sound/perform. Anyone that says different must have one he!! of a crystal ball. |

Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 2166 Registered: Nov-06 | Thank you, Phil. Exactly. Apparently Pete's got some really good spreadsheets now that are giving him EXTREMELY accurate performance predictions. What do you use to design, Phil? I'm thinking about investing in SoundEasy. |
