Actually, I must bring it back from the dead for a second. I am almost done with the box, but had a question. My port is to the left of where the sub will go, on the same side. Then, it runs behind it's magnet and it's opening is to the right of the sub. Should I put the sub so that it's...

thanks, that helped a bit. But a lot of it was about random flutes/clarinets. I was just wondering about in everyday music. What's the lowest note that a song you know of hits?

Loud ass system, of course. He wants to be able to be heard from blocks away and annoy the hell out of everyone who's system isn't ridiculously loud. Who cares about how it might affect his hearing in the future, it's gotta be LOUD. Who cares about that SQ ****?

Hey, just wondering how different intstruments are usually placed in the frequency range? I know everything's not going to be the same in every recording, but a general range would be nice to know. I found that with my subwoofer, I was expecting to feel more bass guitar, but the kick kind of...

I believe that would be after the port's displacement. That calculator was my main resource for making the box. Also, you can't really factor in extra volume for bracing and such, so what I would do is figure out how much space any extra things you want to put in the box will take up, and add...

Ok, I now have all of the measurements of the box. It will be 15" x 31" x 14". I will post pics when the construction is finished. Hopefully it goes well. Thanks to everyone who helped me out

You know, that diagram was really helpful. I really appreciate you making that. The calculator on carstereo.com was also very helpful, but could somebody clear up what the "enclosure volume" would be within the "calculate your vent length" section? Is that without all displacements (so just...

I guess I should have put some more information in. Well, I am going with a 12" Alpine Type-R (who would have guessed?), and the displacement is going to be .071 cubic feet. Anyways, I have a funny little story to share. I guess I'm not the most unknowledgeable about ported boxes after all...

The thing is, if I'm even off by a little bit, it would change the tuning. I'm not doubting your assesment, but is your calculation for my port just a guess or did you use some sort of calculation? If I can do a slot port, I will, but I need to know: What's the difference between a slot port and...

But I'm doing a square port. I'm pretty sure I have all of the displacements figured out, because the program gave me the net volume as 2.039 cubic feet, and gross as 2.067 cubic feet. I'm choosing not to go with the round port, because I can just use materials I already have for the square...

Actually, I did search a lot. But I still had a few questions. Anyways, I found another formula that sort of helped me out, but I still want to know if I'm going to be doing this right. Will I basically be putting a rectangular port 6.875" in length with 2.659" sides into a sealed enclosure...

Ok, I'm having troubles with the whole ported box concept. Maybe I just haven't seen enough good pictures, but some things still confuse me. I'm trying to build a ported box tuned to 32 hz pretty soon, and was trying to find the dimensions of my port using an applet on bcae1.com. I have posted a...

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7367547&type=product&id=1122653507129 I never really considered getting in-car video, but I'm considering it now. I can get this set for very cheap after employee discount at my work, and was wondering what everyone was thinking? They had a...

Actually, I know all of those things don't directly affect the sound of it, but like david said, they are additional and unnecessary things that add oppurtunities for leaks. Thus, I don't consider it a fully sealed box. And I appreciate your tip for the amp terminals, this was my first install...

Alright, so I'm trying to figure out how to improve the sound of my sub, and I realize that a big problem is the box. I had the materials to make a box at the time I put this in, but for some odd reason, decided to just put it in this one first. As you can tell, it's (sort of) a sealed box, with...
