Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 - 13:07 GMT that box sounds absolutely perfect @ 27Hz, and 2cu ft per sub. That's pretty much the exact box I'd use, and I'd tune somewhere in the 27-31.5Hz ragne as well.
you won't get a better ported box for a type R, for deep, hard hitting bass. |

Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 - 13:54 GMT If your port is 1.5" you should at least leave 1.5" of clearance from the back wall, so bad there, your port area should be no less that 10 square inches of port area per cubic foot of net volume so bad there also. |

Posted on Thursday, May 03, 2012 - 01:42 GMT I didn't even look at the port measurements. I just looked at the box volume and port tuning freq. That said, if you tune high for max gain, you'll be in the 45 to 55Hz range, and the box will sound like really really loud garbage. It'll be very boomy with no bottom end at all. Unless you're building a box for SPL burping at pro events, which doesn't fit the dimensions of the above example, then tune the box around 28-31Hz, take the +3dB in gain you'll get, and be happy. A box with too much gain will not sound taht smooth transitioning to your mids, either. |
