Default Total sub box newb: Sub Box Design Help!!! :D

Ok, so I've never made a sub box, nor can I seem to input my sub specs into WinISD to get recommendations.

I have a eD 16kv.2 and want to go vented.

If anyone can give me some rough dimensions and what I need to do to go with a PVC port or a slot port, I would very much appreciate it.

Of if you want to call me a lazy ass and to fuck off, that's cool too

TIA

The easiest thing for you to do is call Alex at eD. He will walk you through it pretty thoroughly.

Lol, I'd feel like an asshole calling up and asking advice when the sub I own is second hand.

I briefly ICIX/Google searched and they said something about 2.2 ft^3 slot I believe, but I have no idea how big to make the slot and the specs on the eD site appear to be down.

OK - you might want to look at these sites:

http://www.carstereo.com/help2/Articles.cfm?id=31
http://www.carstereo.com/help2/Articles.cfm?id=5

http://forum.sounddomain.com/ubb/ult...;f=11;t=069893
http://www.bcae1.com/spboxnew2.htm
http://www.diysubwoofers.org/


I have great site saved at work - very easy to use and it lays out all the panels and port sizes for you. I just won't be able to access that bookmark until Monday.

Also, look over on ICIX and they have a section of the forum that provides dimesions and drawings for all popular eD subs.

Then call Alex.

2.2 net cubes sounds WAAAAAY too small for a 15. Start at least 3.5 net cubes. Tuning is going to be vehicle and system dependant. If you have a very small vehicle a higher tuned box usually is more peaky than the same box in a huge SUV. Also if you have weak midbass and you tune to the mid-high 20s you WILL have a nasty gap in system response in your lower midbass area.

You can enter the 16Kv.2 into WinISD but you have to follow their recommended way of entering T/S specs. You kinda have to leave out a few here and there. I'd done it before when I was trying to see the difference between the 16Kv.2 and an old school round 15" Kicker Solobaric with the same box.
