Ported vs. Not ported? Fabricating & More

I've always thought about using four of these in the back of the exploder

Oh you need a design Azn? lol I had an xplod before 12" they kind of sound tinny but do pound.

 

I'd only use the Xplods for ground pounding. They do get loud for what they are though I'll give them that.

 

Will four jl w7 12s with a 1000 watts a piece pound in my ford ranger?

 

that'll break your windshield!!! lol... 4 12's at 1000 watts a piece in a little ranger would be sick! sure you want to do that though?

92civic and pedro. i'd take up electro on his offer.

 

did you forget.? i already have a box.

you know you want 4 of em azn! they straight wang.

 

i didn't forget, maybe you would like to try another one to compare.. never know, it may sound even better. worth a shot...

 

Please don't thread jack...if you have a question make a new thread.

Also "JL W7" is irrelevant to loudness. It is not an SPL subwoofer...many subwoofers half the price can outperform the W7

 

Sry guys, i didnt mean to thread jack. Next time i have a ?, ill pm one of yall or start a new thread. This forum is awesome.

 

it's all good.... keep the questions coming...

 

oh i see. nah im good for now. no spare time this week, its my long week to work. i do have an idea for my yamaha 8 thats been unused for a lil while.

i may just grab some more half inch stuff from work.......or put it in my first box and block off the other 2 holes. 2 cubes ported all by its self??? any thoughts. it would be for HT use.

 

2 cubes for an 8 inch sub for HT use??

I'd keep it down to 1.5 cu ft tuned low for HT...between 20-25Hz.

back on topic get up some dimensions of the usable space CIVIC and we all will see what we can come up with. Ported owns sealed. Most of the time there is a BIG difference in the sound and depth between ported and sealed.

 

AZN is talking about how much space you have in your car your able to use for a box so he can get some dimensions for the box for you.

 

sorry i had to mention. i put the sub in that crap box i made 2 weeks ago and it hits soooo deep its scary to know its an 8 doing it. ( i blocked off the other openings)

i had a water bottle dancing on the back of the roof. i shot a vid but some how only 2 seconds recorded. will do another tomorrow.

 

can you show us a pic of your trunk and give us dimensions of the space you want to use.

 

correct me if i'm wrong 92civic, isn't you civic a hatchback? if it is, that has the potential to be an SPL monster, for some reason (i guess the shape of the car) they work out real good for SPL

even if it isn't a hatchback you still have a lot of room to play with in a civic. I've seen some civics here with 2 12's here and although you won't have much trunk space left after, a good box can fit inside your trunk.
