i'm thinking those hills have eyes, lol..........................quite a bit different enviroment then what i am use to seeing. looks like you can keep yourself busy for a while.

ummm, i think we were going with 7 cubes, so like 3.5 is the air space.....2.5 was to due with port......"Also, since it's slotted, we'll take another 2.5" of acoustical length inside the box for additional port length " ....

i have i box that i need to find out what it's volume is and what it is tuned at. it is made of 3/4" mdf and has a double baffle. outside dimensions are: H 23 1/4" W 20" D 45" inside port dimensions are: H 5" W 18 1/2" D this i am not sure which measurement i need if i measure from the face of the port to the back wall it is 44 1/4" deep if i am to measure the length of the wall which divides the box to form the port it is 38 3/4" deep there is a 45% in the back of the port. thanks in advance for the help. would like to learn how to do these calculations also. perhaps if some one had the extra time i would love to see it drafted up into a drawing also , that would be to cool. my hopes are to identify what i have in order to see what subs would be good in this box. then make another to match it and put both side by side in the jeep. sub up, port back. http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s149/porkchop22_2007/box1.jpg

i think your box is dirty(full) wont receive pm..............take a look at my post in fabrication, wonder what it would cost for him to fill those holes in? thanks for your time.

interesting, hows one determine price.....is it like if you gotta ask, then you probably cant afford it? lol

more info guy, dont play yourself down, hype it up, expect greatness!

thanks denim! ^^

thanks for the vids , nice flex there. where is info on the evo's. can't find any. thanks.

scary loud ....... ftw ...........

so the Mach 5 IXL 15.2 (2 @ $220 = $440) is quite a bit cheaper than the SoundSplinter RL-P 15" D2 (2 @ $310 = $620) $180 bucks different. but what does that mean product wise? i have been around car audio for a while but to just read the specs and form a opinion is not quite where i am at yet. the SoundSplinter has a little more Xmax than the Mach 5, and are about the same sensitivity. i truly do like the bass haveing the ability to get low......and i want to be able to be heard ..........i guess i dont have to use this box but just trying to feel my way through this thought process. is the differences $180 bucks different? i like the looks of the SoundSplinter and the xtra Xmax seems to be a good thing, i like the price of the Mach 5 though, sad but true money is part of the decision makeing process right now.

so like ft work or as needed.......for a shop?

I have heard of SSA before. Not long ago, however, I was at car show / sound-off in Indy called Slamology. At the sound-off I was starting to prepare myself for disapointment, it was early and not many was there yet. I seen a few cars almost all of which at that point only had what i call flea market installs in them. Two subs , amp bolted on the side of a grey carpeted prefab box. These guys where not familiar with anything around them, they just entered the show to see what it was about. This is'nt a bad thing, I just was looking for more. I look for naked mdf, duct tape, expanding foam, silvery glimmer from sound deadning material....you know the good stuff. Then I seen a kid who had a 18" xcon in his jimmy. He had a bare slot ported box(huge) in the rear and a Sundown saz-1500d wired up to it. He had this anxoiusly, nervous look that i could relate to from times past. Waiting to be up next! No more than i could get ready to ask him what he had going on in there, he and his three other buddies jumped out of the truck, started handing out SSA flyers to me and any one else around(wether they wanted them or not!). He had that sub wanging at full tilt, grinning ear to ear! I asked a few questions, kinda feeling him out.......size,tunning of box, so on. Kid knew it all! I was impressed! We talked for a while and he mentioned SSA several times as well as the forum. It was obvious he had been attending school on this very forum. Like i said, i was impressed with his knowledge and excitement over this product and the people behind it. I came home that evening, sunburnt to a crisp, and logged onto the sight. I wanted to see what this kid done got a hold of. So from that point I have been browsing around, very impressed. By the way that kid was mdizzle5472, thanks bud, great place to hang out at........hurry up and get that electrical going!

nice start, looks good

too cool

"Your box is 7.45 cubes NET as long as you keep the subs inverted. If you install subs normally, it will be around 7 cubes NET. The port is 5" tall but the back where the port starts in the box, it is 5.5". I went ahead and assumed the box would pick this up as part of the port. Also, since it's slotted, we'll take another 2.5" of acoustical length inside the box for additional port length which should make your box tuned to- 24.5hz, that's crazy low. If you drop subs in normally, it would be tuned to approximately - 25.3hz. Is this for home theater, lol? " this is what shizzzon told me about my box, and then BigCProductions99 and johnecon2001 suggested 2 of these subs as a good match, soooo what do you think, are we on to something here..... i gota find some prices i'm thinking.

hmmmmmmm, brb..............

speghetti, not so good, sound, betting right on point!.......keep at it, like the fans alot

yeah i know, poor planning, huh!? chicago is two days i think some are going to try to hit both up.

yeah! thats my sub! thanks for finding it, now just ship it back to me, lol, jk. looks impressive!

i use wire strippers gauged for what size will work, sorta the same" trim and twist" method bromo reffered to , just the strippers get you pretty close the first time.
