Damm lol

I wasn't going to let the cat out of the bag until I had a box built, but since I'm at the risk of spamming with my 133 posts (vs. 289) I'll drop some details:

The box will probably be made out of plywood to keep weight down, and will *probably* be a sealed box. It'll be going into my 95 saturn sedan that I'm building a new engine for (literally), and will probably be powered by an MTX 2150x, that should drop ~400 watts RMS @ 4ohms bridged.

I'd like to build a nice fibreglassed amp rack, but I don't think I'll pull that off this year.

I don't think I have enough space in my trunk to run a ported setup either, which is what I'd really like to do.

I'd like to see how you are powering your Saturn engine with the MTX

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Nice choice. My MAW-12 does a great job sealed. Killer daily sub for the price. Shame they are no more and people missed out.

Viperoni jumped on a couple of used units I had here. Should be interesting to see the results...

If you really want to get technical, the box, not the car, would be powered by the MTX

*shudders from memories of linguistics class*

I was thinking of a PR instead of a port actually... but I'd have to do some real good measuring to see if I can squeeze 2.5cf in the trunk... I'd really like to do 3cf net instead of 2.5cf though.

Just remember that you want 2x the cone area in PR's that you have in subs.

Ideally yeah, but the CSS (read: Stryke audio) 15" PR has 3" of excursion, so I figure that'd do the job.

Worst case scenario, I can squeeze 3x 4" ports in there no problem.

Viper, if you want to test a PR for me, let me know...

YGM!

Sorry to disappoint gents, but I dont think I can pull off a ported box

2.5cf @ 33hz with 50sqinch of port area mandates a port that's 1cf in volume.... I just can't pull off a box that big.

Looks like I'll probably do a 1.5cf sealed box, should be very very portable at least.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Honestly, I like the MAW-12 sealed. (1.1 for my application)

I don't remember how you're using yours... but 1.0cf. a MAW specs in at under 0.6 Qtc, which is a bit lower than I'm aiming for.

Mine gets poped in my daily driver from time to time. My 12" ported box is a bit on the large side for the MAW. But it plays right at home in the 1.1, I am sure it would be fine in a .85.

Unfortuantely building a box for the MAW's had been put on the back burners by some other projects I've been spending my time on.... bu I'm back in the planing mode

I just did up some plans for a 2.5cf ported box with 54sq" of area tuned to ~35hz. Now I just have to go see if the box will fit into my trunk lol.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Hope it does!
