If you still wanted to build it yourself he could probably help you draw up plans as well... |

Just make the subs face toward the back of the seats,I would make the front slanted,and use aero ports on top of the box. |

Gold Member Username: JoebruceTC Sounds/DLS Post Number: 3118 Registered: May-04 | I dont know of a box calculater for aeros but this should help you with the aero ports,like what size and tuning they give you. http://www.psp-inc.com/tools.html IIRC a 3" port will give you around 7 square inches of port,4" will give you around 12.50 sq. in. of port, and a 6" will give you around 28-29 sq in. of port area. And you can buy them here http://www.parts-express.com/wizards/searchResults.cfm?srchExt=Mfg&srchMfg=285&M anufacturer=Precision%20Sound |

Gold Member Username: JoebruceTC Sounds/DLS Post Number: 3119 Registered: May-04 | You would have to talk to a professional box builder about that but I would guess for 2 15s maybe 4 6" or 4 4"? Im not really sure. |

Gold Member Username: JoebruceTC Sounds/DLS Post Number: 3121 Registered: May-04 | This is straight from Fi https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=154cb2c2d11ef07/s hopdata/0070_Tech/0070_Speakers/0020_Tech.BL/product_overview.shopscript They say to use 2.8-4 cubic feet per 15" sub and tune @ 28-37Hz. And use 12-16 square inches of port per cubic foot of space. 4" aero = 12.56" of port 6" aero = 28.26" of port So with that and a 7cb ft box in mind......................... 7cubes x 12" of port = 84" 84" divided by 12.56"= 6.687 so say around 6 4" aeros OR 7cubes x 12" of port =84" 84" divided by 28.26"=2.972 so say 3 6" aeros Now that is using 7cubic foot box,if you have a bigger one it will be different. And that is also using the least required amount of port area per cubic foot also. So figure out exactly what size box you are going to use and exactly how many square inches of port you are going to use and then use that formula to figure out how many aeros you would need and what size. Hope thats not too confusing and hope it helps. |
