Lets try a box with these dimensions.

Start with a box that is 37.5-inches wide, and 16- inches tall. We also need to go around 18-inches deep. Do NOT seperate the speakers. They need to share the same air space.

For the port lets use 2 4-inch ports around 12-inches long. Personally, I would like more port but 3 12-inch speakers and 2 4-inch ports will take up all the room on the baffle board.

WALL IT and o 3 15's son! haha jk. post pics of the progress bro!

Adrian661 · Feb 20, 2009

but yet the directed audio techicain told us 2 go with a 4" port and 18" long for each sub as far as tunning goes we need help and which way do we face the subs

cccullen · Feb 20, 2009

when you make adjustments on the port walls that adjusts the tuning. I'd go with what ranger says rather then the directed tech.

I would face the subs towards the rear (back)

Adrian661 · Feb 22, 2009

alright fellas were doin it up here r some pics like u guys asked for
this is wat we started with

this is were the subs r going 2 squezze in

the the tool we used for the 4 in ports 27.00$ but 5 finger discount at our local home depot

we bought 12' of 4" pipe

these r the port holes

the ports

Adrian661 · Feb 22, 2009

so wat do u guys think

jayz85 · Feb 22, 2009

it looks realllly goood.... are you adding any bracing? that baffle looks like it would flex a good amount.

Adrian661 · Feb 22, 2009

should we use any bracing we never done that b4 any suggtiones

cccullen · Feb 22, 2009

yeah, looks like you will need some bracing in there. the question is where.... You're pretty much taking up all the available space there.

cccullen · Feb 22, 2009

Here you go, this is only a suggestion but I would brace right across the whole box inside 3" wide. and then do some slight bracing up top as well. That should do it.

Edit: I such a dumba$$!! the two up top should go from the top all the way to the bottom on the backboard of the box. that should be enough

Adrian661 · Feb 22, 2009

so bracing is from the baffle board 2 the back of the box wat kinda of bracing

cccullen · Feb 22, 2009

if you have any MDF left just cut a 3" piece (width) and do two from top to bottom on the back of the baffle board. one behind the sub on the left most side and one behind the sub on the right most side. the the pieces that you cut would be the height of your box (internal) by 3" x 3/4".

sometimes i don't explain well, if you don't understand then i can make a simple drawing.

cccullen · Feb 22, 2009

unfortunately i suck at drawing too. lol this is what the back of the baffle board should look like (front view) and the second is just a kinda side view. the 3" portion should be along the back but coming towards or at you. Hope this helps

liftedranger08 · Feb 22, 2009

Some dowel rod or wooden closet posts would work to since he dont have a lot of room and they dont take away as much airspace. Im gona use lik 1 5/8 inch wooden rod in my box for bracing.

cccullen · Feb 22, 2009

forgot about a dowel cuz we don't have them here. lol

That would work even better.

Adrian661 · Feb 23, 2009

so something like this
black-baffle board
red-the bracing

wat cha guys think of my art work

aznboi3644 · Feb 23, 2009

use dowel....brace the baffle board to the rear wall....I'd do a few

G3n3R@1 · Feb 23, 2009

dowel rods are the ****! i have a couple of em layin around just in case lol.

Adrian661 · Feb 25, 2009
