I'm going to be building some subs for my 07 Ram 2500 here in the next month or so and I've been looking around reading and watching videos on ported and sealed boxes My last pickup (03 Tacoma) I had a sealed box and I really liked it. It was super tight and accurate and sounded great, but it...

I have 1 12” Arc Audio black series subwoofer in a cheap prefab slot ported enclosure from bestbuy and I am not satisfied. It is in the trunk of my 2015 Lexus is250 currently being powered by Helix D one amplifier which gives it 500 rms at 1ohm(sub is wired parallel to 1 ohm load). I love the...

If I have a subwoofer enclosure that is 7.4 cubic feet after all displacements besides the port how would I go about calculating how big my port is if the port itself is supposed to be subtracted too? At 7.4 ft cubed my port size 3” by 24” by 13.6” long but that is calculated without the port...

I picked up a couple of deadstock SW8102.4 DVC today for a song and a dance. I've wanted these since they were introduced in '04 and finally own them. Looking at enclosures and will probably build tomorrow. Just using one for now. The info online is scarce for these and Eclipse only lists them...

Planning my install for Esotar 430 mid. My plan is to put them in the A pillar with my supremo piccolos. A quick calculation shows a critically damped enclosure volume of 250cc (0.009 cuft). Muttered about this to a potential installer who said they never put them in an enclosure. Has anyone had...

I am currently designing an enclosure for 3 Polk DXI 12's i got on sale at best buy for 30 dollars a piece. (Still can't believe that deal). I will be running them at ~.7 ohms (dvc 4 ohm, x3, wiring down) on a sundown or similar 1000 watt amp. My idea is ported, tuned to 32hz. I want to do...
