So if i ever get my Elevation Comp 10's, im going to need a box. I've been talking with bill and have orderd some round ports from him.

Right now my box plans are each sub will get 1.25cuft with 1 flared round port tuned to 36 Hz. The ports will be 3" wide (4" would be too deep for my box

) but anyway, I'm looking to get as much aspl as possible while still retaining decent enough SQ... i intend to fire my subs back, so what direction do i fire the ports? i was planning on firing back, but m up for any suggestions.

Also, if someone doesn't mind, i need help making the cut so i don't get a fucked up box! this is going to be a toughie to make imo... because i ahve to sqeeze a 10" whole for the sub, and then another 3" for the port, but he port will be around 10.5" andthe box won't be much larger than that.. right now the closest thing i can get is 13.25 x 13 x 13, and thats going to be a tight squeeze if its even possible!

I think i remember reading somewhere that the end of the port should be at least 1 diameter from the wall it opposes. I could be wrong though

those comps arnt really made for a ported box so i dont know how well they will do. a .75 cube sealed will do nicely though

hrm... well size isn't a huge issue, i jsut want something thats going to get louder than what i had before (the 13w1) and still sound alright... will porting them be a huge issue or what? i can still go sealed, i just means i wasite $35 on ports that i don't need right now :-d

ok well say i decide to start with a sealed box... 11x11x11 will give me around .77cu ft, so i won't be too far off. what cuts would i need to make for this?

He charged you $35 for ports? That's ridiculous. But yea, they aren't made for ported enclosures.

not exactly...it was actualyl $33 but that includes shipping and paypal fees. for simplicity of building, i'll just do the sealed box ^, ad if im not satisfied i'll switch to ported later.

edit: and ikesound is pissing me off too. they won't give me a total on ebay. im about to say fuckem and grab it off their website for $1 more.

yea go sealed and put about 4-500 watts to each of them and watch em pound.....my favorite on these is to bridge an xs125.4 to a pair of them
