Silver Member Username: Dmm2005Digital Designs, Raleigh BWO ... USA Post Number: 135 Registered: Aug-06 | Ok im building my new box for SQL...it will be tuned to 32 or 33 hz. I am running four 12s and they will be facing straight up. and i want to do the port facing straight back...would it hurt it if my box is like 4 inches from the back gate of my jeep. would it sound good if i faced the port towards the inside of the jeep? i have cloth seats in there so it shouldnt block too much. |

Silver Member Username: Devastation101Post Number: 219 Registered: Feb-06 | I was always taught to port to the back. Something to do with the resonance, if I'm not mistaking...somebody correct me if I'm wrong. I'd like to be informed too! Hey G D, I know you said you were from Warren County, what part? I have mad fam in Manson! |

|
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Post Number: 224 Registered: Feb-06 | Well my spare tire is mounted under the car, so that isn't a problem. Where are you going to compete? Have you seen any competitions close to here, cause I haven't heard of any. |

|
Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO Post Number: 1532 Registered: Jul-05 | There ED 16ov.2s and 2 ED NINe.1 amps strapped at 2ohm. 153.7dB on a TL mic was my loudest. There hitting close to 152.6dB now. The box is tuned to 33hz with 126sqin of port, 13 cubes before displacement and like 11.2 after. Everythings coming out next weekend..It's time for something new. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dmm2005Digital Designs, Raleigh BWO ... USA Post Number: 151 Registered: Aug-06 | damn thats great...whats the RMS wattage on those subs? and really close to my box lol...im running 11.4 before displacement and ports tuned to 33 Hz. did you build the box yourself and if so how did you do the vinyl trim peices on there? |
|
Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO Post Number: 1533 Registered: Jul-05 | A shop by me did the vinyl trim and plexi inserts. They use 1/4 mdf(any wood will work) and cut out the design and wrap the vinyl over. They used staples to hold in on and of course some kind of glue. The subs are 650/1100rms, Im giving them around 700each give or take. I believe the 12s are 600/1000rms but I could be wrong. |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 3317 Registered: Sep-04 | thats a real nice lookin system jake. how did you hit 153? im guessing door open at the kick right? |

Bronze Member Username: Fi_car_audioHades, NV Post Number: 48 Registered: Sep-06 | Being that close to the back of the gate it will effect the tuning... but in most cases maybe 1-2 Hz lower. I have run that basic premise in several HT applications I have designed for companies. You run the end of the port within a specific distance from the inside of the enclosure (say .75-1" for a 3"diam flared port) and it will effectively tune things lower without the extra actual port length... handy to do sometimes. |

Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO Post Number: 1534 Registered: Jul-05 | trevor, it was on the dash everything closed...when i would open anything it would go down. thanks btw. scott, it is 6-7 inches from the back gate, even tho it looks alot closer. But yes im sure it does change some tuning. |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 9733 Registered: Jul-05 | jake - i thought u told me u were gonna do a wall with those same subs , plans changed ?...... |
|
Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO Post Number: 1535 Registered: Jul-05 | im too busy...i havent even been thinking about subs for the last few months because of school and hockey...i might be getting a couple FI Qs not sure when tho. |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 9734 Registered: Jul-05 | Now ur talking - 4 15s FI Q & ur the new SQL king ...... |

Silver Member Username: Dmm2005Digital Designs, Raleigh BWO ... USA Post Number: 159 Registered: Aug-06 | i wanted to run a wall at one point but i didnt think it would be good for every day driving purposes. |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 9736 Registered: Jul-05 | yep a wall is very unpractical 4 daily since u can only see using side mirrors not 2 mention every1 sees ur sh!t which makes u a east target 4 jacking ur stuff - all that noise right behind ur head gets old quite fast too ....... |

Silver Member Username: Dmm2005Digital Designs, Raleigh BWO ... USA Post Number: 160 Registered: Aug-06 | lol i beleive it...im sure the sound isnt quite as clean either without anything to bounce off of. |
