8 inches....

Ok.....Have not posted for a long long time.....Sold house, moved, yadda yadda yadda.....

If anyone remembers...I had put a small system in my son's car...(94 sunbird..JVC HU, MB Quarts in dash, Kenwood 6x9 in rear deck)

I acquired an amp (rockwood) and just recently made a trade for a couple subs....MTX subs...8"...Each one in a small ported box.....

Let me tell you.....I love these little subs and this amp was used temporarily in my truck with no problems at all.....My son is 18 and not a bass head (neither am I)....These subs filled out the lows nicely and can play quite deep and quite loud (no SPL records in danger)....

Just last saturday, I started tearing into my truck to FINALLY install all the stuff....(blaupunkt 4 ch amp, double bridged to run separates in frt. doors (infinity ref. 6.5 & tweets)....Rear speakers (4x6 infinity ref. running off HU) and my 10" JL audio sub in a "Q" custonm running of a Kenwood class D mono amp.....

NOW......I just bought a new, used car....96 delta 88, clean, low miles....I stuck my Eclipse HU in it....I would like to run an amp and a couple of 8" subs just to fill in the low end.....Any recommendations?? I think I am gonna build one or two boxes and use ported design...Space should not be an issue as the trunk is good sized....I want SQ first and foremost.....Nice tight bass guitar and kick drum (new and old rock, some country, etc)

Thanks

That looks like a plan....

Have to decide which VC configuration

THANKS!!!!

Willy

 

You guys are gonna help me with box design???

I am gonna try ported box this time...Probably both subs in one box....

Need to pick out an amp for em too.....

Willy

 

OK....If I bought two of these subs that aznboi is saying and I wanted to put them in a vented box for the best SQ......could someone post some type of plans for it??

We are lookin at about 39" width available and about 15" height

thx...

Willy

 

Is that 1.5 cu. ft. per driver or total? Should I make one chamber for both drivers, or separate and vent two chambers within the box??

Do you think the drivers face out and the vents come out same direction??

Will it matter if I face box forward or rearward??

In the past I have used sealed enclosures and faced the drivers towards the rear....

Can someone post a CAD drawing of the box/chambers??

Figuring the 1.5 is cake, but placement and size of the vents is a mystery to me....I will probably used slotted vents versus round ports, unless someone thinks differently??

thanks....

Willy

 

What about this??

This is right from E.D.

Sweet!!!!!

That is exactly what I need.....

thanks a bunch!!!!

Willy

 

I do not see an overall height measurement


Willy

 

Is it 10.5" totall overall height??

Willy

 

OK.....another question.....

I was thinking of getting two of these and getting the DVC (4 ohm)....then parallel those making 2 ohm load....Getting a stereo amp and just running these in stereo....Get a good amp rated around 150-200 watts rms into stereo 2 ohm load....

Whadda you think???
