The only thing i might recommend making a change to is the tuning frequency. I kno kicker recommends a tuning frequency of 38 for my sub...which is a little too high for my liking...im just too lazy to build a new box. Plus i would need to make the box a little larger to offset the port volume.

so don't follow the manual? lol

they give alot of box designs for the l7, not so for the CVR.

2 cubes ish 30hz ish.. any more would be shooting myself in the foot ;)

So then what size and all do you recommend for a ported box for 1 12" Kicker CVR

by spkrman » Fri Apr 29, 2005 8:20 pm

factory rec's are a sham anyway

notice how broad kicker is... because they know every application calls for a different box.

My bad, the tech manual just says that round ports are not recommended. Yeah, that wouldn't make much sense not to recommend rectangular ports when you are building a slot-ported box :tongue009

There is no reason why you cannot. They might be trying to get people away from prefab boxes that being the only reason I can see.
or... he read it wrong? Could have been a misprint?

A more likely culprit :)

I have been using the tech manual on Kicker's website and they do recommend at least 1.75 cubic feet plus the port area for one 12" comp vr. They also do not recommend using round or rectangular ports (not sure why).
