Alright so I've decided to go ported like soo many others here. I've got a Kicker L5 with 800 wRMS to it. I'm really wanting SQ/SQL outta this setup, and from much research found high 20's to low 30's to be best for that. I've done up some preliminary measurements and whatnot then went to the box calculator web page and put it all in.
Let me know what you guys think:
Ported box 29 Hz
Net Volume: 2.42 cubic feet
Tuning Frequency: 29 Hz
Port Width: 2 inches
Port Area: 29 Square Inches
Port Length: 34 inches
External Dimensions: 30 wide x 16 tall x 20.25 deep.
Woofer Xmax: 12.9 mm
Driver Displacement 1.28 cubic feet
Woofer Qts: .566
Woofer Vas: 2.41 Cubic Feet
Woofer Fs: 32.2
Granted I've never built a ported enclosure, I've built several boxes so the building won't be the biggest challenge. Just want to make sure the port tuning etc is correct, because that is where I'm a noob . Also take into account the measurements are rough measures I went out and got in 2 minutes and I've no problem changing them if someone thinks it would be better. Thanks
damn those subs take up a LOT of space...1.28 cubic feet displacement?

hehe thanks again
i have never saw kicker subs, especialy any solobarics producting good sq.... meh, theyre just not much of an sq driver... kickers get loud and thats all their worth
On the other hand....you have other fingers.
I just bought a 20 inch widescreen ultrasharp flat pannel..I'm going to have to subscribe to the high quality porn places now......damn
is it a 15"....cuz my 12" L7's only take 750 rms......so im sure the 12" L5 doesnt take 800
.78 cubic feet for an 12" L5?????

my DDS dont displace that much
I dunno.
i'm guessing .25 - .35 displacement. Maybe he has the superfast cavalier edition kickers or something.
^ if that. I'd say more around .1xx
RE Audio
my L7 12" only displaces .21 per sub
OK so after all the sarcasm above (not offended btw lol) I thought what the hell did I do wrong? So I goto the kicker site and look at that manual ( I have the original manual that came with the sub sitting in front of me right now) and see two different numbers in what I thought were the same thing. So I took the displacement it gave me which was 131.1 cubic inches, then I divided by 1728 to get approx .076 cubic feet. This seems to be more in line with what was being said up above. Sooooo, back to the calculator ( I also changed up some measures etc, minor stuff) and got
THIS
Hopefully I'm on the right track this time. Thanks for the uh advice as it were lol
Cool thanks Lash. Well if no other obstacles come up between now and tomorrow, I'm gonna go ahead and build this box. Stay tuned lol
