The design above is one way i have been considering of building my next box. But my only problem is that when you look through the 2 ports you can see the magnets on the 2 back subs. My question is... Would it be ok that you can see the magnets or should i put my port on the bottom of the box instead of the sides?
The box is 39" wide x 40" deep x 15.5" tall (inside dimensions). Both of the ports are 6.5" wide x 14" deep x 15.5" tall. The box is tuned to 40 hz |

From what I know there will be more port velocity and noise if woofer is closer to port but basically it depends on what you are looking for.. SPL??? SQ????? Vehicle,subs,power???????? |

Sinful Systems- I am going for SPL and its going to go into a 07 Toyota Matrix each sub will be receiving about 1200 watts rms
jesse- thats a veiw from the top of the box. the inside lines you cant see from the top but i was trying to show where the ports are located i will try and take pics in a few |

Oh crap, I should have read your entire post because 40hz is most likely for SPL.... I would say its ok because with SPL you will want the port velocity over the better SQ. Try it the way you have it... JMO
Another thing you might want to try is a flared port like this one...
They say if used correctly you can gain 3db over slot port... |

I was considering using the flared port like you showed but i would need over 8 6" x 17" ports like that. And as for one long port at the base thats what i am trying to figure out. Right now i might just do it that way... |

How did you figure on 8???? Most people say the 6" are too big because the opening gets to almost 9"... You might need less than you think.... I'm not sure... What is the cuft of this enclosure minus the speaker displacement and I will try to figure it out.... |

I figured on 8 because DJ Langford told me that i would need 5 6" x 17" for 2 of the HD3 15's
the box is 13.5 cuft. I am not sure how much the HD motors displace i think its like .22 cuft so i would say probably 12.84 cuft after displacment... |

thanks for all of your help.
Thats cool that you use to live in Racine. About all thats changed is the condition of most of the major roads. Do you know where Al's car audio is? What do you need to hook up the epic-160? I will probably go on the dash with the mic. Are you going to be up here for a while or just passing through? |

Basically carpet all around and stain the wood after removing the lines and UPC sticker. That would look sweet!!!!Mask the bent wood and paint the port!!! Just a suggestion, but it would look good! |

I was going to carpet it like you said and either paint the port and do a cherry finish like you said or i was going to paint the port and paint the front the same color as my car. Not sure if i will have it all carpeted by than or not. |

Thats going to look sweet! If its not OK we can find a deserted and secluded parking lot.... Possibly right down the side street that the entrance to Al's is on. Might just have to go to the end of the street or something.... We will figure it out... Keep me up to date to make sure it will be done by then. |

The guy said he ordered the parts for the amp and they should be in on wednesday. And if everything goes good he could have it ready by next week.

Bring your vehicles with you if you want them metered for free!!!!! It's just a rough estimate since the EPIC-160 does not go to the tenths... But still gives an accurate SPL #... |

Totally NOT necessary, just seeing and hearing your systems would be enough payment to me but if you insist than I guess that would be OK! |

sorry i havnt been on in a few days. I didnt get a chance todo anymore work on my box since i went to the store. One of my girlfriends relatives died so i spent the rest of the night with her. I will finish the box this weekend. On a happier note the guy repairing the amp said he will have it done today and i can pick it up whenever i have the money for it. |

The only difference i see is that the port gets larger faster so you would have more port area. I am not sure how this would effect the tuning though. I am sure there would be some changes to the tuning. Would you be doing the entire port in a v shape or would the v be the last part kind of like the curve port pictured above? |

the entire port would be a v shape with sufficient port opening in the begining of it...it would make the port wider but less depth also this way......they way I see it Id only need to calculate the square inches of the port to match up my tuning to a program....but only real life testing would tell me if im right I guess |

well if the entire port is in the v and you have the correct amount of square inches it shouldnt effect anything. But like you said only real life testing will tell.
I will be finishing the box today. just need to wait for the garage to warm up. I will post pics later. |

No! I am using my EPIC-160 to meter his system, we are just doing it at Al's so we have a place to be loud without any complaints! |

But yea he didnt finish the amp so i dont have a amp to use and i dont have the money to go out and by a new amp
Sorry guys. We are going to have to try a different weekend. |
