Silver Member Username: DurskiPost Number: 337 Registered: Nov-06 | ported box for 1 15" Fi.Q. Here's what Fi Recommends: "Ported box: 2.8-4 cuft @ 28-33Hz" My initial thoughts are to do a 4cu ft tuned to 32Hz, but this is going in an accord and trunk space is an issue, Can I shave a little off the box to like 3.5 cu ft and have it sound just as good as if it was 4 cu ft? Also, The box building site I'm using is confusing when it comes to ports, anyone know a better one than http://www.bcae1.com/spboxnew2.htm ?? any help would be great, I wanna do this the right way |

Silver Member Username: DurskiPost Number: 339 Registered: Nov-06 | Nah sry Andrizzle, indiana... i bet shipping on a box is rediculous A different box design website / app would still help a lot, lost my link to a good one with port configs when I built my new computer Another Question, Will caulk and screws be all I need? I see people with loads of glue sometimes, I'd rather not make that big of a mess if I don't have to. I plan on getting it sprayed with truck bed liner when im finished |

The caulk is for an air tight seal. I square things up and use clamps and screws and to hold the joint tight WHILE the glue sets. It's a tad bit time consuming but my preference. |
