Ill probably give a gcon a try later on once im done with my upgrades on my car whats a good deander to use? Ive used second skin but is there some other brand that is good to i would like to try something else and see which i like better

Yea im super happy now i wonder if dcons sound this good how about the gcons?!!

Lol thank you. Hope i dont get introuble either for that haha...thanks for the welcome back. Got a quick question now that i have remember whats a good set of components to use with these subs?

Thanks guys im glad to be back and well got some friends of mine interested in ssa subs after hearing what i have compared to what they had kicker subs hahaha. Its crazy how loud these subs get and low its amazing its making my car come apart. Its awesome to drive past cars and making their alarms go off lol

ok thanks what you think for the calculations are they accurate and good? i would like to start the build today so the input would be really appreciated thanks

I just bought a pair of 10" dcons from Stefan on this very forum yesterday. So while they are on their way I'm looking to get a box design for them. Subs up port back. Looking for the most optimal enclosure size using what ever type of port that would work better for me (slot, aero, or pvc port that sticks out of the enclosure itself) with the dimensions I have H x W x D 13" x 28" x 17" tuned to 32hz. Thanks for the help.

.

since im going to be using my hifonics brz1700.1d amp on this on a 2 ohm load according to amp subs would be looking at about 1200rms i know this would be way to much power but with a smaller enclosure i know the subs would be able to take a bit more power so check this one out to and let me know which would work better keeping in mine the amp i will be using of course being careful with the gain.

here what i came up with on torres calc. can you guys check and advice thanks.

Read the instructions again. It says "plug in T/S specs from .... to ....". This is where the fs, qes, and vas from. These are T/S specs. Input your target vent air speed into the "vent mach" section. It is incorrectly denoted as vent mach when it is really speed that you are inputting. As it notes, 10m/s is low and 45m/s is high. This is the speed at which the air in the port will be excited. Lower the target vent air speed, the larger port area it will recommend. You want to get the lowest air speed possible in the port so that the enclosure functions as a ported enclosure rather than a leaky sealed box. In my experience, it can be difficult to physically design an enclosure with a low vent speed and a low tuning frequency due to the excessively long ports that this requires. (This is more problematic in small enclosures.) So, you have to compromise port area or tuning. Easiest is port area since this really only becomes and issue as the sub(s) begin to travel a lot.As the sub(s) travels longer distances in the same time (ie you turn up the gain/volume while playing the same frequency), the air speed in the port increases. As far as sacrificing tuning, as long as you get it to within +/- 2-3 Hz of what you originally planned you'll probably be happy. If you tune to 35, theoretically your setup should peak in output at that frequency. Well thats assuming an ideal environment and cars are very non-ideal environments. In the end, the modeling that those formulas utilize only goes so far so don't get too hung up on the design aspect when it comes to those calculators. They are great to use as a starting point. But where i've noticed the biggest difference is overall layout of the enclosure (ie sub/port firing direction, port loading, spacial relationship between sub and port, air flow inside of enclosure, etc.). Thats where the real experienced members can help. So this turned out to be a lot longer post than I expected, but all of this is what i've learned from my experience. Goodluck with the build. Hope i get there one day lol because obviously im a newbie with enclosure design and building so im really struggling with what should be a really simple design.

I tried using the calculator but dont know whats fs or vent mach. Or how to get then.

Thank you Stefan

Any help please?

ok thanks just pm me the info

Has payment cleared?

I do want to roll with it but the thing with me is I don't know what size to cut the port walls

Who has a box design already made that can fit 3 skar audio vvx 8s? I'm new to box building so don't know how to design one on my own looking for something someone has already design. Please any help will be appreciate it. It would be going into a 2000 Acura Integra ls. From some research I've done of maybe how big I want the box is hieght 14", width 28", and depth 18". Tuned to 32hz.

Yea I want to build it but don't know the cut sheet for it

Time and patience and you will be fine

That's the attitude lol

Update me on your progress with your build. Goodluck

Minimum I would think a few inches but not much necessary I would say

I work for a Nissan dealership and can check with my parts department and get you the part number you need just pm me your Vin and ill get your answer tomorrow
