what size box?

steve0o09 · 09-26-2008, 06:45 PM

next weekend i will probably be ordering my 18" fully loaded Fi BTL subwoofer. im not too good with figuring most of this stuff out, but what should the dimensions be for this box? and how do i tune my box? i always see " 6.5 cubic feet tuned at 32Hz" so how do i do that?

i have a 2 door blazer, and im going to fold my seets down for the sub. so space isnt too much of a problem. heres a vid. i found off of utube that i want to make it like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qd7-QFuLlU

so keeping it similiar in that size would be great, i want to still be able to fold the seats back up if i need to. but most of the time they will be down.

thanks
steven

Yes, I always go ported when possible. You'll hear (feel) the difference.
