Is a long box ok?

Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 132 Registered: Jun-07 | this is the only way i think i can make it fit the box is going to have to be pretty long. i don't have measurements yet. i was going to ask if something long and skinny like this would be alright. http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=7560494 |

Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 133 Registered: Jun-07 | alright thats what i thought. i did'nt think the shape mattered buts its going to be a 8 cube box and prolly like 5 or 6 foot long. |

Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 1807 Registered: Mar-06 | width and height on that box will be small... 72x12x16. Seems odd... |

Silver Member Username: Stateprop486PA Post Number: 138 Registered: Jan-08 | very odd... |

Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 1761 Registered: Nov-06 | Me neither. Everyone should check out the Laminar Vs. Turbulent Flow Velocity 101 write-up on there, too. http://www.teamtoxicbass.com/literature/writeups/index.htm |

Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 1762 Registered: Nov-06 | Yeah, he is. Once I get my report card and my $100 for straight As  , or a job, but I'm not feeling particularly motivated, I'm gonna get him to design me something for the MAWs. |

Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 135 Registered: Jun-07 | the golden ratio! thanks so much! i will so try that out! ya i know what u mean about getting the box in the trunk.. i can't even explain it but i had an other idea but after looking at that golden ratio thing i am just not going to get that car. .. this is sad.. i acually am looking at cars that my system will fit it rather if its a good car or not i don't care. haha |
|
Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 1776 Registered: Nov-06 | Haha, nice. Just don't get too much of a beater. |
|
Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 136 Registered: Jun-07 | so i was thinking a golf. like a 2000 or so. if i take out the back seats i think it will fit. and they look like they have a lot of room for the sounds to move. good? |

Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 1781 Registered: Nov-06 | Those Golfs are one of the few hatchbacks that look decent, IMO. Just don't get something too nice. Give it a few years, and we won't be driving much at all. Gas prices will be nuts, if you can find any. |

Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 138 Registered: Jun-07 | i need some good mph too. i think the golf is the best way to go. if i didn't care abotu mph i would just keep my blazer.. ill miss that one |

Gold Member Username: Bnd_rulezPhoenix, AZ USA Post Number: 1316 Registered: Mar-05 | Subaru gets great MPG, last longer and have symmetrical AWD. I used to hang out with my friends at a Subaru/VW dealership owned by the same autogroup. 5 times as many VWs came through for repairs as Subaru's. Even VWs top car the Phaeton was in there all the time. I got to do a little test driving, and by test driving I mean beat the shyt out of them and Subaru pwned Volks. |

|
Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 139 Registered: Jun-07 | well i acually found a Golf and got it today. pretty good deal. SO! ill see if i can get some measure ments in and the seats out next weekend. do u guys know much about round ports? and how do i find the best port placement? |
|
Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 1842 Registered: Mar-06 | port placement? Trial and error. Or talk to someone whos researched it before... |
|
Silver Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 140 Registered: Jun-07 | i have been told that round ports .. idk. ill talk to some one that might know more aobut it. if not ill post something again. i have a lot of thinking to do |
|
Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 1796 Registered: Nov-06 | Tubular ports have more even velocity over the area, or so I've been told, and that makes sense. Talk to Pete Kulicki if you want to find out about the best port placement. He'll design you a box. Other than that, yeah, it's gonna be trial and error. |

Post Number: 5272 Registered: Apr-06 | wwhere the port is placed in relation to the subwoofer and vice verca.... you'd be surprised how much it matters. try to place the sub as far from the interior port as possible. round ports dont really make a difference unless you have flares on the ends. ive built many boxes with PVC and what ive found out is that there wont be much gain unless flared. slot ported FTW!!! |
