    Calculating Port Size, Confused!!!

    Here is a link that shows a sketch of the enclosure (without the brace), followed by the enclosure information. Just needing some feedback. Yes? No? Modifications? These are the max dimensions that i can fit. Thanks in advance for the response. http://s883.photobuc...re.jpg#comments Wedge Enclosure Dimensions (Exterior) Height: 26” Width: 43” Top Depth: 8” Bottom Depth: 20” Total Volume: 7.576 cb.ft. (No Displacement) Port Dimension (32 Hz) Internal: 24.5”H X 3.25”W by 21.0”L External: 24.5”H X 4.0”W by 21.0”L Port Displacement = 1.191 cu.ft. Sub Woofer Displacement = 0.38 cu.ft. (2 15” Fi Qs) A 6 cu.ft. Enclosure is what’s desired after all displacement, so we have 6 + 0.38 + 1.191 = 7.571 cb.ft. I plan on using one strip of plywood as if making chambers for each woofer with large 6” holes to maintain strength but decrease bracing displacement. Am using the Baltic Birch and its pretty stiff. What do you think about the design? Will it be sufficient?

    Best fasteners for high SPL builds

    If the glue holds the wood together tight, why wouldnt leaving the screws in be even stronger?

    fiq vs fi ssd on same power

    I think that the Q's would handle the low end a lot better than the SSD's but the SSD's would probably be a bit louder than the Q's. But dont take that statement for granted because the Q's in the right enclosure can get crazy loud. Just my opinion.

    Calculating Port Size, Confused!!!

    Ive got my dimension sorted out, wasnt as hard as I was making it to be Thanks guys. Another question, I was going to uses 3/4" MDF plywood but it just so heavy with the size enclosure and woofers that I have. Does anyone know of another option of a lighter plywood that is as effective as the MDF. I was wanting to get the materials so that i can get this done this weekend. Thanks in advance.

    Can you give me an example?

    Calculating Port Size, Confused!!!

    So where it says enter enclosure volume (cu.ft), is this the total volume minus the subwoofer displacement only (net volume)? If so then the calculator take into account the port displacement and gives you the total volume of the enclosure after all displacement?
  14. Never mind. Dumbass Question.
  15. When using 2 batteries, what wiring setup is the best way to get the most out of both batteries? Thanks in advance.
  16. So if I run a 0 gauge from the alternator to the rear battery and run a 0 gauge from the negative terminal of the front battery to the rear battery I wouldnt get the same affect?

    Setting Bass Boost and LPF Help

    OK thanks for all the input guys.
  18. Ok, I Have the Pioneer AVH-P5000 HU, an AQ-2200 amp, and 2 Fi Q 15s that are in a 5.5 cu.ft ported enclosure after all displacement that is tuned to 35 Hz. The HU has a RAC output of 4 Volts so i match that voltage as close as possible (3.9V). I tuned my enclosure to 35Hz so my Subsonic level is set to 30Hz. I know that the gain is the most important setting to any amp, followed by the Subsonic filter if you have a ported enclosure. Now am trying to find out how to set my Bass Boost and Low Pass Filter. I looked through the forum found info on the Gain and Subsonic filter but couldnt find anything on the BB or LPF. Are they just set by ear or do they have parameters. Can you guys help me please or send me to a link with the info.? Thanks in advance.

    Setting Bass Boost and LPF Help

    Ok, thanks. I am still taking opinions on the asked topic, but would 5.5 cu.ft be ok or should i just go sealed? Am wanting the Low bass more than anything, but still want to hit decent Highs. Thanks
  21. Incriminator Audio Death Row or Fi Q. Looking for powerful lows, solid high end. Basically an all around sub that dominates the low end. Planning on running 2 12"s ported? Thanks for the input.

    Which Sub Should I Get?????

    Can anyone give me the woofer displacement for the DC sound lab lvl4 and lvl4XL please? Thanks a lot

    Which Sub Should I Get?????

    The comparison was the Fi Q vs Incriminator Audio Death Row not the Death Penalty vs RE Audio SX and i was also told about DC LVL 4 or 4XL were pretty good subs. I haven't build the box yet but am wanting to build the box around those parameters. I am wanting something that will get loud but sound good doing, i just dont want to have loud music and no type of quality to it, and sound like shit.

    Which Sub Should I Get?????

    Jay-Cee if it is then just move on to another topic, why try start something? Just let guys like Bigrack916 with something to offer say what it is they have to say. Anyway, the amp that am using is the AQ2200D. Am willing to spend around $600.00 for both. Am looking for a beffy, musical sub that will get real low in but is decent on the high end. I am using an enclosure that is about 4.5 - 5 cu.ft tuned around 30 -35Hz. These two subs were the ones that i were refered along with the RE Audio SX, but am open to opinions.
