In need of Box Design, Info inside

[Thekid5678 3]

Ok guys, Who wants to be first and jump in on some sketchs/layouts for me? :-)

Ok here we go, I have a Fi SSD 15 on the way with a sundown 1200d But no box to put it in. So here I am, I need some help with a box layout

The dimensions I have to work with are 29" wide X 31" deep X 18" Tall.

If possible I think a Face up Back port would be the best for my car, But if im wrong please let me know.

Thanks in advance

I wasn't really thinking that I would need to purchase the design. Thought maybe one of you here on the site could help me :-)

Sorry, but people usually don't give out custom box designs for free.

Then you better start learning

Crash course, You can use this calculator for determining enclosure volume: http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp#rec

Then you can use http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp#porsq for determining your ports width height and length. (Make sure your port area is sufficient or you'll end up with port noise. general rule is 12-16square inches of port area per foot. Not saying the rule is perfect, just a guideline you can follow.)

Then your gonna want to subtract your subwoofer's displacement, port displacement, and any bracing displacement. Now you'll have your net volume.

So build a box so your net volume falls in between the manufacturers suggestion.

Then start cutting pieces?

Well seeing how this will be my first box, I wouldnt want to take any chances on doing something wrong. I was just hoping someone would offer some Sketch's/plans

There are free designs and cut sheets somewhere in the Fi sub forums. Take a look.

But they are sub up port up.

A design will cost you around $20.

Bummer, The box on Fi's Site is too big

Not their fault, so don't bitch and moan. Either learn how to build an enclosure and do it yourself or pay someone else to do it.

Whatever you get stuck at or confuses you, just ask....

[Thekid5678 3]

not bitching or moaning.. just stating that they box specs from Fi's site would not work

Go

28" wide

17" tall

28" deep

Port:

4.5" wide

15.5" tall

41" long

Sub up port back.

This config would put you at 3.9 cubes net, @ 31hz, 17.88 sq in of port per foot.

My 15" SSD is tuned similarly and sounds GREAT. Kills the lows and the range is nice and flat.

Thank you very much.. Now I can go buy my Wood!

Edit : just to make sure since I'm not very smart on box tuning and this particular sub. 31hz will be safe?

of course it is, just be sure to set your subsonic filter on the amp around 28-29hz

good luck building the box man. don't get too frustrated as this is your first time and you're bound to run into some dilemmas.

Be sure to post up a build log with pics too! I'd love to see how it turns out.

no problem.. Just gotta wait to buy the wood and get the sub and amp in.

[Thekid5678 3]

the baffles or what ever those are in the box that are 3 47/64" are those just glued in or glued and screwed?
