does it make a diff?... im not sure how port tuning works and thats why i am asking

car- lexus gs300 music- hip hop and rap sub- audioque sdc2.5 12 amp- jl audio 500/1 max height- 14.25 port tuning- figured 38 max depth- 14.125 max length- 31.125 using .75 thick mdf i get roughly 2.75 cubix feet.. so i figured with sub displacment and port i would be at about 2.5 which is what audioque is the biggest i should run the box.. now with the port i put in 2 inches wide by 8 inches tall and i would need a port length of 7.51 inches.. now my question is does all that sound about right? should i have the port longer? when i did the port at 14.25 tall and 2 inches wide it said i needed a port length of 14.71.. basically just looking for some advice on what to do with the port and how to build the box

Since everyone lieks pics, maybe i can get some help then thinking of a box like this

that sounds like the best deal to me

ok so i am trying to pick the right sub and set up for me.. the car is a 98 Lexus gs300 i currently have a jl audio 500/1, but can give it to a friend and pay a little more for a jl 1000/1 i listen to mostly hip hop/rap..and some times house and rock..but not often.. i would like 1 12, ssd has a rms of 800 and the q of 1000, i figured the q would be better for me in case i ever feel like its not loud enough i could just get a more powerful amp, but figured i would ask as i don't have any experience with fi.. also for box design i know everyone asks the same question go with a sealed or ported box.. i would think a ported since i listen to alot of hip hop.. any and all help is greatly appreciated

its not about the 1500, im trying to understand what the diff between the bl and q is

so with a bl should i expect more booom? if i was to put either the q or the bl in lets say a 3 cu box, square port tuned to 33hz same amp same everything only variable is the sub between teh bl and the q what should i expect the diff to be?

thank you and i will try to steer clear..so can some one tell me why to go with a bl and not a q? they both handle the same amount of power but the q has a xmax of 27mm where as the bl is 21mm..is the bl more for spl? and the q for sq?

thank you i will deff look into it...how about the us amp XT4000D?? says 1500 at 1 ohm and its under $400 depending where you get it from

so stick to sundown your saying

i dont have the jl yet i have there 500/1 but a co worker is buying it, so i was just going to take the money he gives me and put in a extra $100, and get a jl 1000, but if it will be easier i can just get the sundown 1500 or 1000 its about the same price, also what about us amps? i saw they were a forum sponser, are there amps any good? they have a xt4000d thats 1500 watts at 1 ohm

amp wise im looking at about $400 buck range..besides price would i look for a sundown 1200 then?? or there 1000? also with a sundown since they are 1 ohm stable would i get the d1 then?

yea sorry just looked at there site, its the 1000/1 version 1 its 1000 watts at 1.5 ohms-4 ohms..

It's a good match for rap. ok so i just noticed the bl is the same price as the q..now as far as options i see the cooling is $0 for it and the p chamfer is $10 but it wont let me pick the option it says that its included with the cooling.. is that correct? also flatwind option and daily is what i am looking for correct? and since my amp is up to 0.5 ohm stable should i get the the d2 so that if i later change the amp i dont have to worry about ohm load?

ok so the jl 1000, but why the bl? why not the q or ssd?

bump for some help

the reason i was going to go with the jl is it was only 400 and the guy is going to buy my 500/1 for 300 so its only 100 out of pocket..why the bl and not the q or ssd?

yea i was orig looking at re audio, dc audio, dd, and treo engineering.. i chose the fi due to other forumns and how everyone was saying they liked the fi..

thank you
