Jeep Wrangler build (4th order, Octaport, under window line)

Recommended Posts

Wow... It has been years since I've been on here. But I can say, this website taught me a lot when I got into the industry almost a decade ago. Now I'm in college and build/design boxes as a side job to make some money (pretty good money some months).

 

Bought a TJ a little over a year ago, and finally decided it was time to do a semi-permanent system (something I could easily remove if I needed to). Didn't want to spend a whole lot of money, because well, this vehicle has plastic windows. Good luck was in my favor because over all the years of helping people out, they helped me out. I got the sub for free and the amp for $50.

 

So anyway, onto the build. I wanted a box that would be durable to the weather, yet you wouldn't necessarily know it was a sub box to the untrained eye, so I went with a 4th order alignment.

 

Box:

1.1 sealed

3.7 ported

8.25" Octaport

51.91hz

 

Sub: Funkin Audio SX10 D4

Amp: Crunch P1-3050.1 (at 2 ohms)

 

Box is all MDF, except for the port, which is birch... And you'll see why I picked birch for the port. I like being different, and this box will definitely make a statement when people see it..

Box is coated in Duplicolor bedliner, and the port has 5 coats of clear gloss polyurethane on it. Will be wiring everything up in the next week or so. Hoping to break a 140, in a softtop jeep with a single 10 on 6-700 rms.

Good luck. When I had my TJ with a hard top the best I could do was 143 with an 18" and big ported box.

Thanks guys! Just wanted to do something simple of the jeep, but mainly show people you can run "crappy" subs and still sound good and be loud. (There are a lot of people around Oklahoma who are skeptics about thr benefits of a good box).

Had a little bit of fun this morning. Between yesterday afternoon and
this morning I've helped 8 people who were stuck on hills and in
ditches. Was even able to air up a guys tire to his disbelief (I have
Onboard Air in the Jeep so I can air up tires/run air tools/blow my
train horn).

I hope you calibrated your ear-o-meter before testing. They are known for being very inaccurate.

Idk... Ive only been in this hobby for 10 years and have a pretty good grasp on relative spl. But this is the internet... Cant trust anything.

Also, doesnt really matter what it does on the meter. Its loud, itll impress "non-audio" people, and thatll just.boost sales for me on box orders.
