Loving it.

You know there needs to be more

Nice!

Curious, as anyone else seen a lot of box builders and designers using aero port areas equivalent to square or slotted port area? I was under the impression that the agreed upon rule of thumb was that you can use .56% less area while achieving like results. Within this practice, I find myself believing that if one were to use equal, that in theory, they are increasing their port area by, .56% I also lean toward this thought, if you correctly designed your enclosure and its port, based around the mathematics and t/s parameters of your driver, and chose to not use the formentioned rule of thumb,when using an aero port, that you have given too much port area to your design. I see similar folks, choking the box down, saying it seems a tad too big.....yet, they supposedly designed it spot on. The experiences I am reffering to, and the folks doing the designs, leave me thinking that their sub does not like the port more so than the volume. Let me say, these folks compete and build a lot more than I do. I am not attempting to take away from their successes. I understand some times adjustments are needed. I am just wanting to confirm that my understanding is streamline of what is most accurate within port calculating, I mean, for a large part, these fellars seem to be left out in left field when I mention some of my learnings found in these pages on ssa as well as in other reading material I have. Do a lot of you, find folks who do a lot of designs, yet appear to be clueless on dome of these basic theories? Is ol chop just way out beyond left field? Sure have read a lot that would suggest I am close within my approach. Some recent attempts to help a guy design a box in a undisclosed conversation, these folks came off like a seriously intoxicated game of blind folded darts.... They were sorta just throwing numbers as fast as they could to trump the next guy. I guess I am wondering if I put too much into my designs, or, perhaps others are not putting near enough into their designs. Sorry for the wordy question, in rant form.... I truly would like to nail the topic down to, should aero ports use .56% less port area than square/ slotted ports, always? I am basing this question on the understanding that all previous equations have been observed mathematicly speaking. Thanks for your input Chop

Good points fellars.. I am glad I asked, gives me some direction! Fyi, 4 15" zcons coming soon!

Nice

Well, I indeed enter the wrong number value. I should of stated 56% less, laugh out loud at my goof there. Thanks for the input. Five, thanks, the simplest and easiest way to say it for me If I have not lost you with the dullness of this... I would like to know your input on a question I had, still port related. Not sure how to start in this. The rear of my port, a center port, rectangle, standing tall, is in front of a concave surface. Thus, the diastance from the top and bottom, between port and wall is shorter than that in the middle. Again, based on what I read, one should shoot for a distance from the end of the port to the rear wall, that equal or greater than the width of that port. So my question is, and my reason behind it, is, how close would you dare, cheat, this measurement? To where the tops and bottom of the port is somewhat closer than the measuremen I had described...obviously touching is not a good scenario, but I am curious if anyone has looked into a similar situation. My reason, if I were to move the port closer, cheat it a bit, I could potentially tune a bit lower. Did not have the xcons in there long enough to play with very many variations.... The 30hz. Port did come closer to the rear wall. Unfortunately I have nothing to compare what, if any, effect that had on its performance.

Will look good Justin. Keep putting in the hours sean. Chuck....no wall....lol

Keep me posted on your newest project chuck. Swag

Got some progress nailed down. Cutlass is totally gutted now. Rebuild will be strong. Equipment confirmed. Eta of complete install....Feb. But will be playing perhaps before new years. 4 15" zcons. 2 bc 5.5k's

Hellz yeah! Lol Do work Lee! Demos demanded! Haha

Lol @ me... Looking hood* Was supposed to say good. Hey, slow and steady, wins the bass! Treat it like you have, taking the time into each detail that is required. I would assume that I speak for most of the folks following your build, that the appeal is largely due to the details. Deadening and electrical....definitely rewarding facets of the build.

300 lbs. Can be added to this build and the car an remain operable on rough pavement. Amps installed....looks amazingly scary lol.

I had to climb in that truck, lol. Looking hood bro

Awesome!

Do work team!!!

Next step for supporting team ssa with a solid build, locked and loaded!

Well, disregard..... New plan in place.... Yeah buddy..... Going forward! SSA FTW.

Man, I am scared to answer with that line up... I don't wanna be like that.....might just be like a temp thing.

New direction again, Changing enclosure just a tad. Will be able to up thr cone size. Subs changed up too. A deal found me. Will be getting the new subs in about three weeks or sooner.

Curious, does the push terminals do well as far as current flow...

Me too,

I like the middle picture!

Nice progress. Similar amp mounts this round?
