    Hmm... I think I want to go with vents instead.

    Oh yeah, what do you want the box to peak at? and what do you want the f3 at?

    The peak...really doesn't matter to me...cuz when messing the tuning the peak is I dunno lol

    F3...I normally shoot for atleast 30Hz

    If the f3 is lower does that mean it can handle lower bass?

    I'm trying to understand what you're looking for when you tune a box.

    its a combo of enclosure size, port area, input power, cone excursion, and port velocity...lol

    Lower F3 only means it will be a little bit louder at lower bass notes...but has a chance of over excurting at higher bass frequencies...seems complicated but just mess with the numbers and for each box check the port velocity and cone excursion with the power input

    lol alright. So why not go with the kicker specs of 2.25 ft3 tuned to 41 Hz ish?

    Because I normally don't go with manufactures specs.

    Because I like big boxes with big port area.

    Because I like to say this is a box I designed, not a "yeah its build to manufactures spec". Like your box...it isn't manufactures specs but sounds damn good and gets loud right??

    That box will still sound good...Kicker is one of the few manufactures that have pretty accurate recommended boxes

    Most manufactures are like between 1 and 6 cu ft vented...yeah no sh!t but kicker has volume and port size and length for the needed bass

    Alright, well I'm thinking a 2 chambered box (1 port per chamber). What volume and frequency should each chamber be to get the loudest and lowest?

    I'd do 2.5 cu ft per chamber tuned to about 35Hz.

    Oh I got 50 ft of 16 gauge wire for the speakers and 25 ft of 12 gauge wire for the subs. I still need 250-300A ANL fuse, a distribution block, fuses for the block, remote wire, 1/0 gauge amp power/big three wire, 1/0 ring terminals, MDF, silicone, screws, carpet, and of course the 700.5, cvr12, and 5.25" components would help.


    Does anyone know where I can find a simple one 1/0 gauge in- two 4 guage out fused distribution block?

    Azn, did you notice port noise with those 4" pvc pipe tubes you used in your box?

    I'm thinking either a 4" tube per chamber or a 7"x2" slot vent per chamber.

    In the ABC box???

    Nope...not port noise at all...the ABC box has two resonant frequencies...and near port tuning the excursion is reduced...so it controls the cone VERY well.

    No port noise at all.

    Best one you can find....it uses wafer fuses which are MUCH better than the cheapo fused d-blocks with AGU fuses...Wafer/ANL fuses have better contact area and better reliabilty.

    In AGU fuses the fuse inside the glass is soldered to the endcaps...in high current situations the solder can melt and the fuse will fail

    Ah, well two SPL guys on the lowrider site are saying I should do a single chambered 5 ft3 box tuned to 35 Hz with a single slot port with 50-60 sq. inches of port area, while the other one is saying 2 chambered box with 12.5- 16 sq. inches of port area per chamber.

    Since you have two different amps I would do separate chambers still.

    50-60 sq inches is good...that is about equal to two 6 inch round ports

    If you do separate chambers with 16 sq inches of port area...the port velocity is still way too high...I wouldn't listen to them. But do as you please.

    The reason I suggested getting two 400.1s is that you can do a single chamber box...which will be easier to get maximun port area at whatever tuning you want. Which will be in the end LOUDER with lower port air velocity.

    Ugh. This whole thing is so difficult.


    Why does port velocity matter, why wouldn't you listen to them?

    Why would two 400.1's be any different? The 700.5 puts out 420 watts... every amp is different, couldn't two 400.1's be 20 watts apart?

    Wouldn't 3 amps be more difficult?

    No not really....you would still need only two RCA cables...well three if you include a small patch cable to connect the two sub amps together.

    You could use the 0 gauge wire for the sub amp and keep your 4 gauge you have right now for the high's amp.

    Maybe use a relay for the remote signal since you would have three amps.

    90% of the car forums I've been to most of the people there are retarded

    If I got two 400.1's I'd get a 350.2 (110x2 @ 4 ohms).

    Could I just jump the remote wire from one to the other?

    I take it you'd suggest I switch my AUG fuse on my 4 gauge amp kit... what size ANL fuse would I use for the 350.2?




    I was thinking a box 44" wide, 17" tall, and 17" deep.

    (5 cubic feet tuned 35 Hz)
    The port is 15.5" tall x 3.5" wide (54.25 sq. inches of port area) and 16.45" long.

    How would you build it? Like this? Would the red line be 16.45" long?
