1.56 Cubic feet NET

Port area is 20 Inches squared

Port tuning is 32 Hertz

also heres a question for you guys to help me with...

 

What setup would you rather see

2 18" subwoofer

12 8" subwoofers

 

 

Both would be on the same amp (although the 8's would get more power due to lower ohm load)

both would cost almost the same

Box size for both would be close (18s a little bigger box)

 

 

I'm leaning towards the 8s, but I'm wondering what others opioins (sp?) are

first box i EVER built.

2 memphis HPO 15.

5.0 cubic feet NET

50 square inches of port

tuned to 35hz , then built an extension to lower the tuning to 28 hz

This car metered 144.4 hz dB Drag racing "Legal" with the lower tuned port attached.

I would guess it woulod be 146 or so using just the 35hz port

 

dB Drag and Meca meter two different ways

Legal and Outlaw

pi * r*r

 

3.14 * 4 *4 = 50.265 * 12 = 603.18

 

3.14 * 9*9 = 254.469* 2 = 508.938

 

Your measuring the WHOLE sub.

First the 18 im using is 18.5"

The 8 is 8.5"

Even with that being said you wont use those measurements. You will include half of the surround and total cone, to get the whole moving mass

 

I calculated the 8s at 537 inches squared..... and the 18s at 529 inches squared

 

is that duct tape? and why?

 

lol Yes its duct tape. Older subs without a rubber surround you can use duct tape to actually gain a couple tenths of spl (this may not seem like much but competitons have been won by .1 dB)

Without haveing a rubber gasket there is air leaks. Also even using subs with rubber gaskets there still is a little bit of a leak.

 

 

 

In and around the port is just a smoother transition. Didnt have a router at this point in time (was my first box)
