4th order? t-line?

you mean something diffrent like that? or something more for show ect? maybe sub up port back, try building something that works, get it all smooth, take to car shop and get all airbushed up and crap. i dunno

[SPLvrWAGON]

i was mayb thinking some thing like subs facing up, towards the roof and port facing the tail gate?

[woodzyspl]

can work. depends iv tried what i think will work, and it don't..lol build and try, port up subs up, subs up port back, everything forward ect ect plenty stuff to try.

i thought you wanted a bandpass or something out there lol

[SPLvrWAGON]

lol i would love to try but ill fail their a lil complex. mayb a few sub boxs down the track ill attempt it

what subs recommend for sealed? put them in right sealed box, double that size for the ported section. and tune around 40hz or bit higher. should do fine daily lol

if not someone who know more fill me in what i said wrong lol

Whats are you chasing? Numbers or audible loud or lows??? What subs are you using? What amp are you using? All this can come into play when designing a good box... Don't be scared to give it a go yourself, it's the best way to learn tbh...

I'm told with 4th orders build your sealed section to reccomended specs for those subs, then build the front section 2.75 times the size of the rear and port it at roughly 40hz for daily.

the subs he has are suited for ported boxes.
He needs a nice big box with a good size port

I know a rear firing 6th order series box works well in a VR/VS wagon. Used an Option 1502 with 2 Option Pro series. Rear facing ported box was 136 on music, 6th order was 139.9 on music, with heaps more flex.

i have 2x re audio sxx 12s and a soundstream Rubicon 2500 rms @ 1 ohm amp.
the max dimensions for the box is: length 1150 X height 370 X depth under 700

Which is 10.5 cubes GROSS. What are you chasing, numbers, or loud music?

OK, but we're not talking about that. We're talking about his available dimensions. And damned if the port on that box is too big.

you'll find the port flows nicely, the L bend slows port velocity somewhat, so slighly higher port area than "standard" (20sq inch per cf compared to a "recommended" 16sq in) works fine, given the original request for a loud enclosure both on the meter and musically, it works quite well... loading is still quite nice as well given the amount of port, which is without a doubt quite large...
