Built my first ever subwoofer box!!

[09sedan]

so this is the first ever woofer box that me and my friend assembled, it was a good learning experience, box dimensions were as follows

12inch height
30 inch width
20 inch depth

3.2 cubic feet

port specs

3.5inches width
10.5inches height
internal port length (21.75")
giving me a tuning frequency of 36hz
port area per foot = 15.91 inches2
3/4 inch mdf used with wood glue on all joints with pilot-drilled wood screws. then silicone on the inside, Big credit to 412 CVX from Steve Meade Designs Forum for helping me out on how to properly design this box :). and now the porn .

clamps in this pic are just holding the smaller port wall in place while screws are being drilled in to lock it in place , also woofer cutouts have been measured out so they are spaced apart nice and evenly!.

woofer holes cut out, you can see the previous day we decided to put silicone on the joints a bit early :P,

getting ready to put the final piece in!!!, terminal was screwed into place and siliconed, we had to use a dremel to shorten the screws we were using so it wouldnt go all the way through the mdf for the terminal cup.

ALL DONE!!

now i have to wait until tomorrow evening to put subs in and try my new box out!! :)

btw this will be going in the trunk of a 2009 toyota yaris sedan.. lol

powered by a mtx tc3001 mono d amp, both subs are SVC 4 ohm 10inch Kicker COMPs , wired for 2 ohms as the amp puts out 300watts RMS at 2 ohm

cant wait to hear some slayer and arch enemy from this new box .

ill probably carpet it or sand it down and paint it flat black in the summer, too busy with college to give a damn on how it looks.. lol

up next on the build:

1.big 3 upgrade 0 gauge, distribution block in the trunk and new battery terminals.
2. Pioneer DEH- P7400HD head unit

fronts will be Pioneer TS-D1720C 6.5" component system (60 watts rms)
rears will be Pioneer Pioneer TS-D6902R (80 watts rms)


3. 4 channel MTX TC4004 50x4rms amplifier , powering front components(havent decided which brand yet, still researching), no rear speakers at first, if i dont like how it sounds i might just put in rear pioneer 6x9 coaxials.


4. soundproofing all 4 doors and trunk! (im thinking raammat and ensolite , or cld tiles, ccfoam and mlv , keeping budget in mind as well).

5. new battery when the toyota factory one starts showing signs of age
