RisingPower Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 you want to be looking for what space the box is internally and then match a sub to that. Mmm But I think the type r's should be fine, think they're 0.60cuft. Mounting depth too, it's not a particularly deep box. Quote
Wasso Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I take it you would be running it IB like the bose? If not make a box put a small 8"sub or 10" made for small boxes in and it will sound much better than that £400 one. Dblock when you say IB are you referring to Isobaric? If so you'll need two subs for this unless I'm not reading correctly? Quote
RisingPower Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Dblock when you say IB are you referring to Isobaric? If so you'll need two subs for this unless I'm not reading correctly? I think dblock meant infinite baffle/free air Quote
slimjim Posted July 22, 2011 Author Posted July 22, 2011 Yeah... I presumed he meant "free flow" ... Infinite Baffle... Quote
Wasso Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Aaaah get it, makes sense now I remember the days I was into installs. I was running two Boston Acoustic 8"s isobaric and it sounded mental. When I had the Opel Manta we managed to squeeze 4 12" subs in the boot. Oh they were the days! Quote
slimjim Posted July 22, 2011 Author Posted July 22, 2011 RisingPower... any idea on the size of your box? Dimensions and also the cubic/ft of it? Quote
RisingPower Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 RisingPower... any idea on the size of your box? Dimensions and also the cubic/ft of it? They're exactly as the cad drawing except iirc they couldn't get 5/8" mdf so it was substituted for something slightly thinner. Quote

I tried but my maths is VERY bad. I worked it out to be about 1.4m3 which I am sure is WAY off... (Plus I can't do the old skool maths with feet and inches!) Anyone help me? Quote

Shaun1982 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 If it's any help at all dude I remember I found that Rockford fosgate make a shallow sub,more importantly it's not a silly amount of money from what I remember. I don't remember the model number but if you google Rockford stuff you should find it or a version of it Quote

I don't remember the model number but if you google Rockford stuff you should find it or a version of it HA HA ... he is back!... Do YOU know the cubic size of the box? Quote
Shaun1982 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Errr no lol. Isn't it something like 0.65cft? Lol Infect is it not on that cad diagram? Quote
slimjim Posted July 22, 2011 Author Posted July 22, 2011 Yes!! http://www.metric-conversions.org/volum ... c-feet.htm ahhh ha!!! So I recon it is just under 1.4 Cubit feet... sound right? Forgetting about the little sliced of section... the box is 16" X 15.5" X 11" which is ... = 2728"³ 1.57870 ft³ The section WITH a slice out would be 5" X 4" X 15" which is ... = 24.2"³ / by 2 (as it is at an angle) = 12"³ ? 2728"³ - 12"³ = 2716³ Plus take off a bit more for the thickness of the MDF ... I recon about 716"³ 2000"³ Convert that.... ... 1.15740 ft³ Does that look like GARBAGE? Quote
slimjim Posted July 22, 2011 Author Posted July 22, 2011 Errr no lol. Isn't it something like 0.65cft? LolInfect is it not on that cad diagram? Can't read it very well on the diagram, but it is in the top left hand corner I think!!! Quote
slimjim Posted July 22, 2011 Author Posted July 22, 2011 Think it says 1117"³ So I was WELL off ... me and my maths!!! 1117 in³ = 0.646412 ft³ Quote
Shaun1982 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Haha. I was just going by what I thought I put in the sale ad all those months ago lol. I know that the rf sub I looked at was good volume wise to take a 12 in there though Quote
Dblock Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Think it says 1117"³ So I was WELL off ... me and my maths!!! 1117 in³ = 0.646412 ft³ Are you sure its 0.6cuft? I know a guy in glasgow that did an install on both sub and glovebox he said it was 0.4cuft but after the sub displacement it was 0.3cuft unless he built the boxes very small. Quote

I know a guy in glasgow that did an install on both sub and glovebox he said it was 0.4cuft but after the sub displacement it was 0.3cuft unless he built the boxes very small. Not 100% sure. Just bought the box from Shaun... so when it arrives I will do some proper measurements and work it out exactly. But going from the CAD drawing of it ... it is 1117... so 0.64ft³ (Before displacement) Quote
