I have four 8" audiobahn AW831T subwoofers.

sealed or ported?

I really want to build a ported box, I've read countless forums about building... Tried to use WinISD, building a ported box is complex!

Anyone want to help me build a box?

This is the space I have to work with. (38L x 16 h x unlimited amount deep)

slot or ported?

the audiobahn website does not have a recommended enclosure volume so i will just go ahead and take a guess at maybe .5^3 ported each

i went ahead and did one really quick using re audio software and came up with something like this. subs firing up

here are the specific dimensions

that should leave you room for sub displacement

okay question... Can I put all 4 subs in one box? Or do I need to make individual boxes for each subwoofer?

the subs can share a single chamber.

Okay so correct me if I'm wrong (I'm most likely wrong..) but I used that program and did this.

this site says I need .75 cu ft per sub... i have 4 subs so I need 3.0 cu ft.

I design a box with that program so I have 3.0 cu ft like so.


almost seems too easy, I have to be doing something wrong... any comments/criticism/tips?
