Meh. I think you misunderstood the spirit of my post. I found it amusing it sparked so much debate. I felt a need to restate why I was building the box in the first place.Eric D wrote:What kind of a post is this? Plenty of people gave you some thoughts on your design, and like with many threads, the discussion wondered from the original topic at hand.nutxo wrote:LOL. The whole reason this thread was started was that odd box I wanted to build. My mmats system 2 years ago ran sealed. I ran 1400 watts to a sealed box and honestly the output was a little disappointing. It was very clean but its not like it murdered the lows and it was loud " ish" but not LOUD. The box I was looking to make was not a bunch of random shit I threw together. I did the math and utilized what space I have to get a box with a relatively flat response. I ran it thruogh winisd and got a relatively flat response from 30 to 100ish. I used aeros to save space and offset the the inside of the box to get the inner ports as far away from the subs as possible to avoid premature unloading.
Dividing the box.. I know some people will disagree but to my ear divided sounds better than common for 2 subs. The bass is tighter and more well defined.
I am not going to re-read this whole thing, but I don't remember anyone claiming your design is some random shit thrown together. Obviously your concept with the ports being in the opposite chambers took some thought.
I personally am not trying to sway you from building a ported box either. Maybe others would, but I even doubt that. If you had 1400W on a sealed setup, and it was not loud enough, you NEED to go with a ported setup, as sealed will never satisfy you.
It is great that you used Winisd to design your box, and it is even better that you actually know how to use this software (I personally have never used it, or had a chance too). However, all the modelling in the world will do you little once you stick that design in your vehicle.
Unless you have access to CAD models of the vehicle, the only way to get any idea of how the vehicle will affect the system is to do testing in the vehicle. Typically you would need some sort of swept sine wave analyzer. You can get some results with an RTA, but it won't be as easy. Until you do the testing, the modelling is only good for a large open space (like a living room)...
Now after reading your post I am trying to make a CAD drawing of my interior, thanks a lot bro :-p
