How desing a sobwoofer box of 12 inch ported?

@johncameron4172 4 жыл бұрын

I have 4 door speakers rated at 125 watts RMS and are 8 ohm. I bought a 4 channel amp that was supposed to be 150watt RMS per channel but actually are around 80 watt rms at 4 ohms. If I parallel the speakers to 4 ohms and bridged the 4 channel amp to 2 channels then how many watts am I going to get each speaker? Am I better off just running 1 speaker per channel?

An average Joe like me who enjoys car audio on the side can build a great system from the ground up with a 3rd of the tools Mark uses.It won't be nearly as pretty but it can sound just as good.

Crutchfield and Amazon both sell the Roadkill FAST foam baffle rings from Stinger that will act as a foam enclosure to direct your speaker sound outward. They're $25 a pair unless on sale. It's not the full mod effort CAF shows here but it'll help focus sound forward. I'd also suggest adding some sound deadening material behind the woofer cone somewhere. You may not care about road noise but it'll help quite a bit to dampen sound LEAVING your car, redirecting it toward the rider(s) and helping reduce the exterior noise so people outside aren't overly disturbed by your audio. If you have limited supply of dampening material, apply the most BEHIND the speaker so that you're at least dampening and redirecting sound where the source is. It'll be best to apply throughout each door your speaker is mounted but localizing it is always the most effective application when working without an excess of materials. Thanks to CAF for all these tutorials. Learning plenty on the manufacturing side of the car audio process that I didn't know would make such a big difference.

I did something similar except for the fact that my stock pioneer speakers were Integrated with the bracket aka basket. So I cut off the speaker off the bracketwith a dremel ,RIP pioneer speaker, Used the stock foam cushion, and mated the new kicker speaker to the factory basket and connectors . The new speaker looks and sounds great . This video gave a thee idea 💡! Thanks

Nice addition with the foam. We would always space the speaker until it was as close to the panel without touching as possible so you wouldn't get any refraction from being recessed so much though the foam should absorb any soundwaves as opposed to reflecting them. Good work.

@Person.555 3 жыл бұрын

I'm for sure making these. I can use the same items in description and follow each step exactly except i'm gonna have to put together 2 rings of 3/4" HDPE since my factory speaker mount is bigger than the one in the video. Also, my factory speaker is about 1/4 inch shorter than the focal aftermarkets i'm installing. that will give me 1.75" to work with and the glass shouldn't touch the speaker.
