3rd one for sure. Just wake the slot WIDER than they have it.

Try to make the slot at least 3" wide and the heigth of the box... aobut 14"

of those three boxes?
they all pretty much look the same, aside from where they stuck the slots.
You however, didn't list enclosure volumes, port frequencies, or anything about each of the boxes, so there is no objective data on which to base a reply to your question.

a slot port will do nicely but also an areo port is really nice but usually cost more. id deffintly have justin build you a box or do it your self prefabs pretty much suck ass.

hey kiki im probaby gonna go ported but which of the 3 has the best design to give the loud bass wit good sq?

by audiobass10 » Mon Jan 23, 2006 6:35 pm

IMO a low tuned ported enclosure sounds good depending on the sub of course. The Alpine Type R's tend to perform better in ported enclosures anyways. 2.5 cubes per 12 tuned to 32hz if you want a loud box with plenty of lowend and the ability to maintain decent SQ

PS. have the box built for you. forget the prefab garbage.

go with ported.
by accurate, Ryan means flat, and very few people like a flat curve with subs. The reason most people have subs is to get plenty of bass anyway, and ported gives you more bass at the tuned frequency.. it's like free power in a sense.
forget sealed unless you're only after sound quality and not a lot of bass, or unless the Qts of your subs demands going sealed for ideal performance, which yours don't.

Well if you want to get all technical.

But the chances of any of us OR that Prefab box maker to put the time, effort and research into attaining such things is null.

Just not going to happen.

Thats why in laymens terms we just say Sealed has a better SQ.

Very interesting Jonathan! My head is beginning to expand from all the knowledge floating around this site :p
