[N3IL53N]

what type of box would you want and what vehicle would you place it in?

[Kidd636]

Material to use: 3/4" MDF

Box size: Refer to the manual of your Kicker Sub.

HTH

what is better for sq, sealed or ported? will place it in a corolla ae 101. the 3/4 is the thickness rt? sori kidd i dont have the manual na yata e :oops:

[N3IL53N]

for SQ......a ported box will do.......:D

[m0nd]

hmmm... for sq it's advisable you go sealed. some systems go ported but it would depend on the sub. Though IMHO sealed is the typical enclosure for SQ systems. Ported is typically for SPL systems. oh yeah, if ur going to use a 15" sub masasayangan ka. because in an sq system there is minimal play of the sub. people lessen the sub gain so that you can hear more of the kalansing ikanga ng mga tweeters and the mild thump of ur mid bass.

[GlennSter]

for sq...sealed box is always preferred.

iagree with mon...ported is recommended more for spl because you can tune the box and the port to a specific frequency...blah blah blah....

[Kidd636]

You're right, 3/4" is the thickness. Mond and Glenn are also right, that in most SQ systems, sealed enclosure is the preferred baffle design. Simply because it can play a broader range of frequencies as compared to ported and bandpass enclosures, and usually it has a "flat-er" frequency response than the latter two.

sealed it is... mond sori but thats the only sub i hav (bigay lang kasi so sayang lang di ba)... now if sum1 is kind enuf 2 provide me with the dimensions.... :wink:
btw mdf or plywood? :roll:

[m0nd]

anton, no apologies needed buddy. a tip, minimal power lang bigay mo sa sub para di malunod ang mga seps mo. mdf ang gamitin mo. dimensions, maybe u can try going to the kicker site and ask them for the specs. they would be the best place to go for your inquiry about the box

[N3IL53N]

agree with mond.........go sealed.....(what was i thinking about last time?!).......for the dimensions......maybe you can give me ur email address para mabigyan kita ng dimensions...........:D

[Zhero]

Anton,

The dimensions will depend on the size you can accomodate in your trunk. The important thing you have to consider is the internal volume of the box required by your sub. Once you have that, the box dimensions will follow. Kicker has downloadable tech manuals at their website that can help you with sealed boxes - min/max recommended internal volumes fo your specific sub.

Goodluck :D:D:D

N3IL53N : my email addy is cushanton*yahoo.com tnx dude :D
zhero: hav an empty trunk of an ae101...ayt will check kicker's site

[Anton]

ayt man just checkd the site... for a 15 in rounded sub they said...

mounting depth is 7.5 inches
mounting hole diameter: 13.75 inches
minimum rec sealed box volume: 1.8 cu ft
maximum rec sealed box volume: 5.2 cu ft

nw if sum1 cn tell me what's the best length, width, and depth of the box itself for an ae 101 corolla... then i can start building....
m so excited :lol:

[Zhero]

Download WinISD sa www.linearteam.org. It can compute for your box size based on QTC. It has listings for popular sub brands. Default is .71 qtc. Ideal sound quality spec to.

You can do the measuring yourself or ask your karpinteros to do it for you. Probably, what you need to know 1st is the height and length of the box that will fit your trunk. Then play around with the software to get the width ( or depth of the box. must be deeper than the mounting depth of the sub ) Get it? :roll: :roll: :roll:
