was looking @ 12ich twin sub boxes on ebay

 

as only have single boxes at the moment

[Guest MATT jr]

...well, i assumed it is the correct size, as he had a 12inch in it...and the whole set came together from a shop.

 

 

As any woman will tell you, Its not the size that counts......its the way you use it! :wacko:

 

:blink: when i wrote that, i was thinking along the same lines :ph34r: :(

gooner looking on ebay for a twin box is not ideal as the box has to be exactly the right size to suit your subs

if you look on the jbl website for your subs open up the user manual and it will tell you exactly what size box you need to make find, any probs let me know, a ported box will sound twice as loud as a sealed box, i can knock you up a design if you wish to build one yourself its not hard ?

 

matt jr although your sub and box came from a shop i bet it is not the right size for your sub as the shop will just chuck it any 12" box, and i bet your box is sealed ? if you want bass you need a ported box mate

 

sealed sub boxes are poo, the sub cant breathe and you lose half the bass you would get with a ported box

see if you can find out the specs for your sub on the net from the retailer, should have on there website what size enclosure you need in cubic feet i.e. 12"x 12" x 12" is 1 cubic foot work it out on that basis

 

or if you let me know what you find i can help you with a box

[Guest gooner52]

i know what you mean about the ported boxes

 

thats why when i got my current ones bought the plastic port holes

 

and fitted them myself

 

which is what i intend to do again

 

thanks for the offer :(

[Guest MATT jr]

Rambo - thanks for the insight,, i will have a look into it!

gooner, puttng plastic tubes into a sealed box just wont do mate, as a ported box has to be virtually twice the size of a sealed box, and the length and diameter of the port has to be exactly correct to get the most from the sub / subs

 

basically what i am trying to say is i can make a ported box with 1 x 12" sub in it, sound as good as, if not better than 2 x 12" subs in a sealed box

 

i just hate the fact that loads of people get subs chuck them in any old box and get half the results they could have done, with a bit of knowledge/ help they would get there moneys worth for what they buy

 

i will shut up now

 

PORTED IS THE WAY TO GO, TRUST ME IVE BEEN THERE !!! (but all dimensions have to be right for the speaker thats in the box)

 

i rest my case :(

[Guest gooner52]

no probs m8

 

will be in touch for some more info from you m8

 

cheers j :(

[steve67car]

? a ported box needs to be twice the size of a sealed ?

not true and as for a single 12 in a ported box sounding twice as a double 12 in a sealed box again not true

 

 

what is true is that a sub is only as good as the box that it is designed to be in

e.g buy a vibe 12 " (yes it comes in a ported box ) take it out put in a std carpeted sealed 12 " from your hi fi specailist and it will sound ok but and its a big BUT it will not sound as good as it did in the vibe ported box and again not because its the ported box but because vibe spend a lot of time and money on development :excl:

 

 

so make sure the sub is in the right type and size box :rolleyes:

measure twice build once

[Guest MATT jr]

..once iv finished my install, and got my booster heater working, i will then set about the subwoofer box.

[Guest gooner52]

thanks
