Speaker box questions
Speaker box questions I have been out of the custom box game for a while. I have few general questions. I am going to build a box for my Trailblazer SS this weekend. I have 2 10" subs. I am trying to keep the box reasonably small. Going by the recommended specs for the speakers. I have taken the specs and doubled them. If I build a sealed box it will need to be 30."L x 9.75"D x 12.5"H. If I build a ported one it will need to be 30."L x 15"D x 12.5"H. I realize that a ported box will be more efficient but I am not sure how deep the ports need to be and how big around they need to be. That is why I haven't already chosen to go ahead with the ported box. Should I run a separator between the speakers with either box? Also what thickness wood should I use? I have a choice between 1/2, 5/8 3/4.
Here is a link to the site I got my info from. http://www.crossfirecaraudio.com/frameset.asp
I am running P110D subs. If you go to tech info at the top then click on subwoofers then choose the P1 option then choose P110D it will bring up an adobe file that tells all the specs.
Thanks

Why a custom box? Not bashing, just curious as you can find a box to fit your needs at a cost cheaper than you can usually build one. Most speakers can operate at specifications + or - 10% of the suggested dimensions and still sound optimal. Just a thought....
Use 3/4" wood.
seperate them. If one woofer goes out, it will sound like **** cause the air space just doubled and the non-working woofer is being pushed by the other.
If you dont know the port dimensions, dont even bother.
I think audiobahn has a site with a port calculator to help you with a ported box.
Before my camaro, i had an astro van with 4 15" subs, amps, ect. I built everything myself. P.M. me if you have Questions.
