All the calculators i use have always done me right but its always been for slot ports never a center square port. 90% of the box's i have built were all simple box's never done any of the huge multi sub box's. But i would still like to find out what my port size would need to be for 4 Sa8 dual 4s on 2 hifonic's 1200.1(1 am per 2 subs).
-
So does any one have any idea on port area for this box and what it would need to be to tune it. The box is maxed out at 39 wide but it can be about 18 deep and 17 high. I am good at building and tuning slot port boxes but i have never done a square port box.
-
Like i said i want it to be loud and low. I want to see what i can break in my car. Its going into a hatchback look up my old build log
-
I can Bring the depth out about 2 more inches. Can't go higher or wider.
-
The box is the size it will be around 3.5ft3 and after bracing and such around 3.2-3.0. I know i want to do a square port and i want it to hit as low as i can with 4 8's(trying to break stuff in my car).
-
So i ordered 2 more sa-8s and 1 more hifonics 1200.1 there on the way now i just have to get the stuff to do a re build.
-
Well what i really should find out it will my amp be stable at the lower ohm loads. I have the calc. stuff for ohms just kind of lazy on figuring it out after doing the math for my box.
-
New box for 3 8s What would the ohm load be for 3 sets of 4 ohm vc's
-
Think i am going to re build my box, Not hitting as hard as i would like, sounds really good for SQ but i want a little more i might rebuild and add 2 more 8's
-
so every thing is in and installed(besides my batt set up) system sounds really good and clean. I have some picks and a videos on my phone but not able to put them up here till next fri.
-
Lol ya as soon as i get the project started and working i will post some more pics. This part is going to take awhile because the plexi is getting hand etched and acid washed while i do it so it will take about 6 days to finish it.
-
The logo is going to take some time, i am hand etching it into the plexi and still have to cut the hole in the bottom panel put my batt's down there and wire them up. The pexi will cover them and use some back lighting to light up the logo plus the batt's.
-
Ya hifonics brutus 1200.1 And a few other little things like some wire gauge connections for a cleaner look into the amp. My plexi for a custom sundown audio back light on the floor of the hatch and my lights.
-
I keep checking the tracking on it over and over hoping it says ahead or that its here.
-
I used the re audio box builder then double checked what they said with the formulas from my mecp book.
-
Shipping says thurs or fri. and everything is already wired up just have to drop the amp in.
-
I thought they were going to be small but those little things are huge i would say double the size of my old dd 1500 8's. Now lets how they put the sound out.
-
So after waiting a few days my subs are here and i took the time to install them tonight. Now just waiting on my amp(should be here Thur).
-
Subs and amp both ordered and on there way.
-
I don't believe it 0 gauge because i have ran 0 gauge and because of my wire size chart for true wire size. The wire inside showed 2 gauge and i put it beside my stinger 0 gauge and it was a little smaller.
-
Oh ya i did do that just did not take any pic's my phone has pandora on it so it was hooked up to my radio in my garage for music. But ya i did a flat edge corner molding because its so small and liquid nails plus a few brads later the were in. Oh and for the people who said the port looks kind of funny in orange i can understand that but once the car is repainted to orange and black it will match.
-
sweet 90 bucks each saves me a little money then.
-
Wow so fri i was going to buy 2 of the sundown audio sa-8's off here, and now they don't have the listed any more whats going on.
-
So after putting next to my stinger wire i have now it looks more like 1 or 2 gauge wire but still better then the 4 gauge i have now.
-
Are the reconed version's any different from the normal ones or have any flaws that you know of.
