hey

i was wondering if someone could help me out with a new box design. i have 2 audiobahn AW1251T. i currently have them in a ported box but its way too small. the specs say they need about 7 cu. ft. but im not sure.
its for spl purpose. sq important but more spl.

anyone with some time to spare for a fellow cca member it would be greately appreciated. thanks alot

 

hmmm... 7cubes to big..

whatkind of vehicle?

my box for 2-12's at finals last year was 1.5 cubes for both combined! that was a 152.5db box.. although my loudest box for 2-12's was 3.8 cubes, and it hit a 153.8, with thesame power.


Livin Loud

 

Hey Kurtis what were you tuned to?

 

ya.. im not too sure of manufacturer specs but i was testing it.. its louder with only one sub playin then both. so im pretty sure the box needs to be bigger. andy one willing to help with dimensions and port shape and size. that would be great.

 

anyone can help please.. i dunno port sizes and lenth... the manufacturer specs say 3.5 cu ft. (after displacement) per sub. (i have two).

can anyone help out with some ideas of port size and lenths..

thanks

 

If it's louder with one sub instead of both you may be wired out of phase. Double check your connections.

 

will do

 

i dunno, 7 ft^3 seems pretty big, i'm sure that could be the manufcaturers "suggested" "optimal" size, but realistically, that is going to take up a huge amount of space. try making a box as big as you comfortably can in your application and then test it out. going with a volume other then suggested will not hurt your subs (a lot), just your resulting SQ, so you might have to tune it a little for your prefs...

 

Stephanscavi, I tried to PM you back, you asked me what kind of Box do I have in my MX6, I wrote up a message, then tried to send it to you, but your mailbox is full, you gotta get rid of some of your messages so someone can PM you. Anyway, I'll try again in a short while

 

i had those subs before. i have email audiobahn and they suggested 3 diffent types of boxes 1.5 cf @ 40 hz , 2.5 @ 35 hz and 3.5 @ 34 hz. all box volumes include sub and port displacement. i would suggest opening winisd and see what it says.or just go sealed. do not put more that 400 wrms to each of these subs unless you like the smell of melting vc

edit= if going for sealed they suggest between 1 and 2 cf.
