So I just got a second SWR-1042D, and I need to build a new box.
I was thinking 3.5 cu ft ported box tuned to 32hz, and I really just want some input on the subject...possibly larger/smaller box, different tuning frequency, that kind of stuff. Btw, the pair will be receiving about 1400 watts.
Ok, well after designing this thing for the past hour, I couldn't make the 3 cu ft box work the way I wanted and look the way I wanted. So I went to a 4 cu ft box tuned to 32 hz because of size restrictions (kinda funny that they made the box bigger).
Anyways, doing this allowed me to fit everything on the back of the box, along with enough clearance for the rear strut bar that I'm about to purchase, and allowed me to put the port in the middle like I wanted.
Will do...I still haven't decided whether I'm gonna paint it or carpet it yet. I'll be starting cutting tomorrow and will hopefully have it done in the next week...school takes precedence unfortunately.
well, its done and in...had to cut and bend a brace for my rear package tray to get it to fit, but it was worth it
It hits hard enough to hurt and make my body itch. My neighbor told me that after the initial tuning the colors on his projection tv were misaligned, and I've been banned from tuning at my house due to my roommate complaining, lol. I'm slowly tweaking the crossover freq's cause it's muddy with bass guitar chords, but it sounds amazing with any type of bass music.
I want to see what it hits on a meter now...
Here's the box:
The trunk arms literally slide along the carpeting, lol
Ignore the wiring mess, it'll be cleaned up later this week...you can see on the right side where I had to cut and bend the bracket.
