enclosure questions

[Mtxplod 0]

I have no experience in enclosure construction at all and have been tearing through forums for some helpful advise in enclosure designs. I am pretty confused at this point about some things and was wondering if anyone could clear it up?

I am under the impression that if a certain speaker is in a smaller enclosure that it will handle more power and a larger enclosure will be more efficient (less box rise). so if that is true, will they be equal in spl if they receive the same amount of power (after rise) rather its in a "smaller" or "larger" enclosure?

i have also heard of people covering ports to play with their tuning, is this just a solid cover reducing the height/width of the port? does it have to be as deep as the port or just cover the outside?

the setup: 93 mustang hatchback

150A alt

shuriken bt-60 and bt20

brz 2100.1 (clamped at 1172w @47Hz)

2 fi ssd 12s in a prefab box ~1.6 cubes per chamber ~38Hz

Im pretty happy with the setup as is but i want to get a little more "pressure" from the 12s(didnt really want to sacrifice the

back seat but oh well)

sorry if the questions seem a little on the dumb side, help is greatly appreciated!

Haha, this isn't what I meant when I told you to come post over in this section. Did you read any of the "attention noobs" threads that are pinned? This section is to introduce yourself, not make the same post in a different area with a different colored font.

My apologies ... LOL

I corrected it ... I'm in a meeting, boored, surfing the interwebs and trying to listen at the same time ...

Hmm, I actually thought you were saying something clever for the first time. Figured that the OP's topic was that of the quality of SMD so you were making a pun.

No, I just made an honnest mistake. I'm not totally rude to new people on this forum like you are ...
