Well, I went to my local high end audio shop to look for assistance and they talked me into a 12" Sxx. After coming home, I continued my research and downloaded Bass box pro 6 and started messing with different speakers and I am convinced that I can get (2) SA-8's to work. In order to still be able to use my trunk, i would like to stick to no more than 2' cubed. I am going to keep messing with the dimensions, but I think it might work, what do you guys think?

I have not purchased the subs yet, but this may be too complicated for me. I am about to give up and just go with the usual sealed.

I should have also asked how I can tell that a subwoofer would be good for a bandpass enclosure, maybe that would limit my selection criteria a bit more.

Great feedback, would either of these drivers be a better solution? I mainly listen to electronica and alternative, but mostly deep/progressive house music as I used to be a producer/DJ. So expect a lot of 909 kicks and baselines around 120hz. I will have (2) 8" mid bass woofers in the front soundstage with an MS-8 for equalization. The subs will mainly be used for deeper notes, but not full SPL. RE SXX 10" Fs: 30.7 Hz Qts: 0.27 Vas: 21.8 liters FI SSD 10" stock Fs: 31.0 Hz Qts: .33 Vas: 15.9 I am trying to fit it into the space of the trunk so it doesn't interfere with the opening as I store my cleaning supplies inside. I'll post pictures later...

Since the new SAZ-1500d v2 does not have any fuses inside or outside of the amplifier, what is the suggested size for the in line fuse?

Great... I have been messing with the numbers for all of the speakers that I mentioned above and am having problems with the Vr and Vf. For some reason they keep coming up between .4 and .1 for either one depending on the configuration. I am guessing that the calculator is off since there is no way I can fit a 10" speaker in a .1f cubed box. This is the calculator that I have been using: http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=27 For example, I tried the FI SSD sub and these are the figures that it came up with: VF .088? VR .106? I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out...

For a better visual picture, this is what I am trying to accomplish.... minus all of the plexi glass.

No problem, I look forward to the design. Without trying to deviate the post from the original request, which subwoofer would be better for what I am trying to accomplish? SA-10 FS : 31.6 Hz Qts : 0.45 VAS : 21.9 L RE SXX 10" Fs: 30.7 Hz Qts: 0.27 Vas: 21.8 liters FI SSD 10" stock Fs: 31.0 Hz Qts: .33 Vas: 15.9 Please base a recommendation on facts instead of subjective remarks like "yo, the sxx bumps the most". Thanks

All, I posted recently looking for assistance with a box build for (2) SA-10's. If you guys have a chance, please comment with some suggestions. Bandpass box for (2) SA-10's Thanks

Hello all, I have been a traditional sealed box kind of guy, but I want to try something different. I am going to build a bandpass box for some SA-10's that will be pushed by a SAZ-1500Dv2. The port will be pushing through a ski hole in the back seat. The sub that I have now fires through the port, but I am hoping to eliminate some of the trunk rattles by creating a port that extends through the ski pass. I have taken a few pics to give you guys an idea of what I am trying to do. I want to fire through a port where the homemade ski pass, the trunk is sealed very well, so I opted to cut a hole. I have come up with some figures for the SA-10s by using an online calculator, but I'm not sure if they turned out right. Here are some snapshots of what the calculator is saying: This is telling me that the sealed side of each sub should be .468 ft cubed and the ported area should be .614 ft cubed. I have no idea what the port should look like, but I tried. I know I'm doing something wrong here, but I'm not sure what. After taking the calculations from the calculator saying that the outsides should be .468 and the ported should be .614, I came up with the following dimensions. Keep in mind that this picture doesn't show a bandpass box, but it simply assisted me in determining what the outside dimensions should be. I am looking for any guidance on how to port the box and to confirm that I am at least heading in the right direction. I'm sure that someone has attempted this, but I can't find any info.... Thanks for the help everyone...
