2x15" Home enclosure
 
Hey, Im gonna be snagging 2 15" clarion Swr 3841's Of a friend of mine for cheap. But thats the easy part :P Ive been trying to figure Out how to design a box for these puppies but cant find the specs and am having a hard time gripping the Idea of how to tune vents. It sorta gets me a lil TICKED but If anybody can find specs For them that would be nice. Im gonna be using these in home and a while back found that You can use computer power supplies to supply juice to car amps, yet I think I migght get ELectricuted because it seems a lil confusing. Considering half the videos are of little kids showing me how to wire these things. I know they are 600watt max and have single 4ohm voice coil, so depending on whether I Wire them to a home reciever 8ohms with crossovers or to a car amp on Comp P.S will determine if I run them, series or parrallel. My main question. more of a favour I think, if anybody has some extra time could you make a simple yet effective enclosure with dimension *vented* that would hit down to 20-28 hz???? If that is not to low. Remember its in my house so lots of Ft^3 is fine No limitations to size. I know home theatre is usually LOW. but the design Would be VERY MUCH appreciated as I dont know Sh*t all about tuning vents:dunno:. Ive looked all over but everywhere I go Someone throws something in that messes me right up and sends me back to stage one:sly:. Ive read alot and think I know the basics of it but any tips and or pointers would be awesome.NOT ONLY ABOUT VENT\ENCLOSURE DESIGN BUT ABOUT ANYTHING YOU THINK IS NOTABLE FOR A BEGINNER Thanks alot guys.:smilie_da

i would suggest only using one woofer unless you want a giant enclosure sitting in your room.
here is something i whipped up thats just a generic ported enclosure
3 cubic feet @ 26hz

Really? Do you have a link by any chance, showing directions? Ill give youtube another try.


And jalat how much bigger do you think it should\would be to get that second one in there. Cuz I have it here no matter what, Are you saying I should Build 2 of those boxes?

If I can figure out the amp with psu problem i can build 2 if not Im going to have to run them in a series meaning in same box, Ill pm you or something when I find out. Ill try to keep updates comin if possible, Right now All I have for amping is a Harmon kardon reciever + shelf amp. Dont know exact wattage but its a bit older and it was pumpin a 1000 watt 12" at one time. Also have a 500 watt P.S I gotta read up on how the amps and energy converts. Sh*t theres a bit to learn xD better get reading :stroke: :cheeky4:





Also wondering how you get measurements to show up in sketchup, I D\L it and its workin good, itsjust a lil confusin aha

Your looking at the minimum of 5.5 cubic feet for two 15's and then having to tune it so low... its gonna be a large, large enclosure.

Size doesnt matter to much I have much room =D But I was also wondering about crossovers, I was readin about cutoffs and how it can help the power to output effficiency, Im guesssing if I get a fairly good amp I should be aight with the built in ?
