Good idea or no (pic)

Post Number: 111 Registered: Jan-08 | here is an idea i had for a ported box for one 15 Q. the highest i want to go in my trunk is 15.5 inches total so in order to fit a 15 i could do a slanted box. secondly i want to go ported to make the sub louder overall. i've also heard that non-square boxes are better than square ones so with all of that i came up with this idea:  the box will roughly by the dimensions listed on the pic. as you can see it will be a slanted, hatch back type box along with a normal standard type port. does anyone like this idea, think it's a bad idea, have any advice on a different type box i could make or ways to make this box better? this is just a very rough free hand sketch of the box. i wanted to get some input on it before i go to the trouble of drawing everything to scale and getting the exact ft^3. |

Check out this link. And if you do stick with your original idea above, I would say areo ports imo. http://www.teamtoxicbass.com/literature/writeups/the_golden_ratio/index.htm |

If it has the needed air space and everything I would think it would. Not advising it b/c I dont know that it would or not, just looking for someone up there ^ to give a reason for saying no |

Post Number: 114 Registered: Jan-08 | i think i may go with a sqaure type port along the back wall at the bottom, if the port size would work and was able to fit correctly. i could make a sqaure box, which would be easier, but i just think popping my hatch and seeing a 15 pointed right at you at 45 degrees would like nice. |
