Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 510 Registered: Jun-07 | so i have not ordered my subs yet but i am going to get BL 18s. i just dont know what upgrades i am going to get of if i am going to just get stock ones. every one says that the box will need to be 12 cuft or bigger. i have room to make it much bigger. what do u think the best size will be? tuning to 37 hz looking for lots of spl... if that even matters |
Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO / ASU Post Number: 2965 Registered: Jul-05 | I would do 12cuft tuned to 37 (if you want more SPL) with ~120sqin of port. Slot ported box witht he subs up port back. All of these numbers after displacement. |
Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 512 Registered: Jun-07 | the subs and port will face front.. making that wall thing. so r u saying if its 120sqin of port with 12cuft it will be 37hz? |

Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO / ASU Post Number: 2968 Registered: Jul-05 | No no no no... You will have to do the math to get port lenght/tuning. The 120sqin of port is the area of the "face" of the port like... 5"wide by 24" tall. With 2 18s you will want to have alot of port area. My box for the havocs was ~15cuft before displacement with the port area being 127.5sqin (3"x42.5") tuned to 27hz. After all the sub/port displacement it dropped it to less than 12cuft. When using a big port you lose internal space fast. |
Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 513 Registered: Jun-07 | so i am wanting to make the biggest opening for the port that i can? that makes sense i guess. it will prolly be more like 18 cuft but close to 12 after braces subs and port displacment |
