Box for two Eclipse SW9122
|
Bronze Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 57 Registered: Apr-05 | I'm buying two Eclipse SW9122's, and am looking into a box. I want boom boom, SQ doesn't really matter. I'd like a vented box, but I don't have time to specially build one. Any ideas? And is it better to get two seperate boxs, or just one big one? Thanks guys! |

Bronze Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 59 Registered: Apr-05 | What would be the approx. price total? I want a good box, carpet and terminals. I don't have time to mess around with it... lol |

Bronze Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 63 Registered: Apr-05 | What's the best size for these subs? Can you give me measurements for the "optimal" box? Much appreciated. I'd also like it vented, more boom. And how do you tell how much air a sub wants? Is it the VAS rating? Once again, never gotten into it this far... always just bought a box... Thanks. |

Bronze Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 64 Registered: Apr-05 | Sorry, I keep thinking of things. I have one 12" box with 2.28 cu ft. Would that work? I can easily get another one. Also, I found a dual box with 1.7 cu ft. Would one of those work? Or is it best to have a custom one? |

Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 4176 Registered: Dec-04 | yea i would do vented, terminals and all that, tats standard, i would charge like 70 bucks plus shipping, shipping will be heavy on a box of this size, after you tell me emasurements of your car ill draw you a pic to show you of what it would look like and all the dimensions, custom boxes are the best, because all subs have different reactions, so no two subs will sound right in the same box, but to tell you, i will NOT do carpeting, well i could but i would charge alot more then you would want because its really expensive around here to get it, and i hate HATE doing carpeting, i did it once, looked terrible, got pissed, burned the box |

Bronze Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 67 Registered: Apr-05 | Sounds like a deal. It'll be going in the back seat of my car, or in the back of my truck, so size limitations isn't really existent. If it'll fit through a door, it'll work :D. What do you think would be a good size? Also, are these high quality boxes? Most people around here build their own, and they look like sh!t. I want a professional looking/sounding box. I can paint it black or whatever, no biggy. Looks is big around here, it can be the loudest system around, but if it doesn't look good, it's crap... Kinda pisses me off. But hey, I like good looking systems. Also, how would something like this sound? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14945%26item%3D5778662606 %26%26 And I already have a 2.28 cu ft. box, and can easily get another, would that work? |

And it's a b!tch to sell good stereo stuff around here. So if I don't use my old stuff, it'll just sit around collecting dust. Does me no good doing that. |

Gold Member Username: HdubbFarmington, Nm Usa Post Number: 1688 Registered: Nov-04 | i actually just amde a design that would work pretty good for those subs what kinda car is it? i think the cubic feet is right around 2.3 after displacement and what not and is tuned pretty high around 40 |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 4186 Registered: Dec-04 | well with eclipses wouldnt he want tot une it around 31 hrtz or so, make it sound great, hit the lows and highs, cause these subs cna get loud that low and still sound great, hell at 32 hrtz i hit 146 with 1 15 ti |
|
Gold Member Username: HdubbFarmington, Nm Usa Post Number: 1690 Registered: Nov-04 | really? yeah 40 is extremely high but he said spl. |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 4188 Registered: Dec-04 | yes really lol, but thats true, but also if he is gonig to tune a box that high, in songs like late nite tip and stuff, that have the real real lows he wont even hear them, he will hear his sub flapping |
|
Gold Member Username: HdubbFarmington, Nm Usa Post Number: 1693 Registered: Nov-04 | yeah i know i love that sound jk. i hate. i think its funny though. im building one for a friend with 2 cvrs and he likes them tuned that high, but thats because the shops here feed people garbage like you dont need to tune it any lower because nothing pl;ays that low. |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 4193 Registered: Dec-04 | yea right, most songs have lows that low, like i sat in my car tuned to 32 hrtz and can hear every note distinctivly on like every genre of song, got in my friends with his w7 tuned to 44 and it misses half the notes |
|
Gold Member Username: HdubbFarmington, Nm Usa Post Number: 1698 Registered: Nov-04 | im tuned my box to 28  |
|
Bronze Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 69 Registered: Apr-05 | So where's the sweet spot for these subs? And how do you tune them? I'd like to know what my current box is tuned at. 2.28 cu ft. If it's tuned alright, I'll just get another one. |

Bronze Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 70 Registered: Apr-05 | This is what I currently have: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem%26item%3D5765336073%26&sspagename= STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT%26 Port volume: 0.39 cu. ft. |

Gold Member Username: HdubbFarmington, Nm Usa Post Number: 1704 Registered: Nov-04 | that box doesnt look too bad. never seen a lip on the front of a box though. not sure what it is tuned to. email and ask them |
|
Bronze Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 77 Registered: Apr-05 | The guy I bought them from said to use a 1" MDF, 1 cubic foot sealed box. But wouldn't a good tuned vented box hit harder? Also, how much power should I give these bad boys? I've read that people run 2600 RMS a peice to them. What do you guys think? |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 4231 Registered: Dec-04 | lol, jake, i run ALOT of power to my subs and i wont run over 1200 watts to each |
|
Bronze Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 78 Registered: Apr-05 | Do you have these Eclipse Ti's? I just want to get the PERFECT setup. We're really rural, and there's not many "systems" around here, and very few are any good. I want one everyone remembers and appreciates. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 81 Registered: Apr-05 | My current sub box is at 35Hz. I used http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=31 to figure this. Would that be alright for the Eclipse's to run in? |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 4233 Registered: Dec-04 | yea that would be descent, but it might be a lil higher or lower depending on the displace ment of your sub, but yes i have had my tis for lie ages lol, ask anyone on here |
|
Bronze Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 83 Registered: Apr-05 | Displacement is 2.28 cubic feet. I want the best out there... |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 4251 Registered: Dec-04 | displacement isnt that big lol |
