So I have thought about this and am ready to give up my rear seat, in my truck to run a big airspace box. I am getting rid of my t1 10's and going to get another t2 12.
So I need help with a box, I am going to be running 2 RF T212d2's should I just build the box that RF recomends and just build 2, 30wx15.25hx15.25d port tuned to 40hz, or should I go lower.
I am looking to do some local spl comps and mainly listen to rock and rap, but I want it to pound.
no i believe he has a t1 10, he is getting rid of and getting another t2 12" to match his current one. now he just wants help on deciding on his custom box for the two. am i right tyler?
tuning to 40 is good. i would go with a little more than 4cuft. i would make it 5 or 6 cuft . make a big arrow port with a flange on the end. round of the corners inside the box. double baffle were the subs set. i would make everything facing up with subs on passenger side and port on drivers side,
I am just looking at what to do for the box for 2 matching 12's. with plenty of space by removing the back seat. I am just curious about where I should have my port tuned to. RF recomended box is tuned to 40hz but the subs can handle lower, but I drive this truck everyday and listen to music a couple hours a day and want it to sound good for all music. I will only put it in maybe 1-2 competitions per year so that is not a big concern but would like good spl, maybe 150ish or so.
if I just take the RF recomended box, build two of them and mirror one, so both ports will be in the middle and then each sub will face the back of the front seats, ( one behind driver, and one behind pass).
if you are taking out your back seats, and you have that much space - you might as well run some 18s. more cone area = louder, pending install of course
you cant build a box that gives the full potential for spl and want it to still sound good on all regular music, unless you use interchangeable ports. its very complicated i would say just make a box around 40 hz and that should be good for daily.
yes as much as I want to do well in competitions, I dont think I will be in very many. This is my work truck and I do alot of driving. So I think it will bother me if the music does not sound good
