I designed and built my first "custom" ported enclosure for this setup and had some help from a few guys on here so I thought id post the after. This setup by no means is anything crazy as it is my daily driver but it came out really good and is pretty **** loud in my opinion. stock base model...

ok guys this is my final design pieces will be cut today lets hope everything works out. from what ive come up with I should have just over 2 cubes of volume after sub, port, and brace displacement and hoping to have it tuned to between 32 and 34 hz. SPEAKER BOX PDF MAIN.pdf

come on guys I know some expert box builder out there wants to help me??? my head is spinning with this. I used the 12 volt calculators up to this point to figure out all that I have and when I double check those calcs on re audio's box calculator I get different results. I even contacted JL...

tweaked the design a bit going with bbeljefe 's recommendations. I haven't added the corner bracing or doubled up the baffle yet as I was hoping for more input to get an understanding on the need for those. my calculations 4.894 cubic feet of volume port is 25 x 2 so for 32hz I come up with a...

thanks for the quick reply!! im pretty happy my first crack at this came out that close haha. what are the affects of adjusting the net volume and port tuning? am I close enough on those numbers to just leave it? and what are the purpose of the corner braces? the box will be made out of 3/4 mdf...

I have done some research and designed a ported enclosure for 2 12 in JL W3's to go in my new Toyota 4runner. I have always used sealed boxes but now I finally have room and want to go ported. JL recommends internal net volume of 1.75 cubic feet tuned to 30 hz. I have saw a lot of guys recommend...

I am interested in the Orion HCCA d1200 to run a 12" JL w3v3 with the 2 ohm coil(I have 2 of these subs that i may put in occasionally so thats why i want an amp thats 1 ohm stable). I just stumbled across the planet audio ap1000d which has very similar specs and is alot cheaper. Will these 2...

i have an 08 civic si and i have kept the factory hu. i installed a loc with a remote turn on circuit where the factory sub used to be. my head unit has a subwoofer control that still works because of where i installed my loc. the settings are off, then -6 to +6. i set the preamp voltage to 4...

pmed you. hoping you still have the amp.

so ive had my setup in my 08 civic si with premium sound for about a year and a half now. i have an loc installed where the factory sub used to be. ive went through 3 subs so ive started to do reasearch. ive recently figured out how tune my amp with a dmm. now im wondering if i can check the...

the LOC i have only has a gain setting

the gain on the amp is set to about 1/3 or slightly higher and no i just did it by listening to the sub closely like i always have. what is clipping? and if you are talking about setting the gains with a multimeter please explain to me how. thanks

I have a 2008 civic si that I installed an amp and 1 12" in about a year and a half ago. I kept the factory radio so I installed a cheap LOC with a remote turn on in the rear deck where the factory sub used to be. I have a power acoustik ps2-800 mounted under the rear deck. The first sub I...
