OK, these are the specs I got from the web VAS 4.25 cu feet, QTS .35hz,FS 22HZ, I entered them into some program LSDP? I got it from the termpro site. Anyway I put in the the specs as it asked, then gave me the following:

Vas 4.25
FS:22.00Hz
Vb: 3.13 cu feet
F3: 24.87Hz
Fb:23.77Hz
Max Ref Efficency: 0.53%
app ref efficency: 0.34%
Ripple 0.11db
Vent Length: 16.35"

What does "ripple" or "max ref efficency" or "App ref efficency"???

Now I used that WinIsd pro program which gave me the port diameter, which I have no clue what to do?? But that's what the LSDP.EXe program gave me? Can someone help me out here and let me know if I am doing this right? This is a first time I have tried to make a venter/ported whatever you want to call it box.... How does this tell me what size of box to make? which cu feet do I go buy? and how to I know it's tuned properly?

If you can help me out that would be great!!

Thanks Guys!


Thanks that's all the website gives me....

Thanks [img]smile.gif[/img] , I have been in contact with MR2NR and he suggested sealed box 1.25 cu feet... I have always been a fan of sealed just cause the "kick" it can give off, was never a fan of BOOMY bass but thought I would try something new, but I will leave it as always a nice sealed box.!

Thanks for the response Defro13 greatly appreciated as well!

With being a sealed box, they say it takes more power to get it to go, now in that case would you still just use say a 500rms amp for a 500rms sub? Or in this case would you use say a 600-700rms amp to have more then ample supply of power?

Nothing wrong with having more power on tap, this provides headroom and a good guarantee of not clipping the amplifier. I have never had a aluminum sub fail from heat generated by too much power.

What's my Q, if the box is 1.25 cu foot? I found something about year back that would show you your Q depending on size of the box, but I can't seem to find it now! If someone could help me out!

Thanks
