I've finally got my setup all installed and tuned/dialed in how I like it. Sounds awsome. For a single 10" sub the output is great.
I fgot around to taking pictures, its no where near finished visually, but it is fully installed and completely functioning.
I have a single JL Audio 10W3v2 in a custom made box. Here are the box specifications.
(outside dimensions, 3/4in MDF)
Height = 15 in
Width = 28 in
Depth1 = 7 in
Depth2 = 12.75 in
Gross box volume = 1.684 Ft³
Speaker Displacement = 0.05 Ft³
Net box volume = 1.64 Ft³
Port Diameter = 3 in
Port Length = 10.654 in
Port Frequency = 30 Hz
Port Area = 7.069 in^2
Port Volume = 0.044 Ft³
I have a JL Audio 250/1 powering the single 10W3v2. Low pass filter is set @ 85Hz, with a infrasonic filter cutting it off at 30Hz. Without the infrasonic filter you risk damage to the subwoofer with overextention below port tuning. The box is entirely isolated from the trunk space. The sub is sealed around the skihole opening with rubber weather stripping so 95% ofthe sound energy is directed into the cabin where it belongs! I have ZERO trunk rattles or vibrations outside the car, and there is no booming bass audible outside. It stays inside the car. Its wonderful because I can enjoy retarded amounts of boom inside, but you absolutely cannot hear me coming if my windows are up.
The Kicker Ix252 amplifier is running my MBQuart midbass/tweeters in the cabin
through the pictured MBQuart crossovers. This amp is a loner (a pretty good one at that) until I get my JL 300/4 to run the interior speakers. This amp is set highpass @ 110Hz.
I still need to build the false panel to hide all the wires (carpeted to match the trunk) and I also need to build the new rear parcel shelf with a flush, flaired (much better looking) port opening.
I should add the rear seat was only removed for the pictures. The sub does fire directly into the backseat, but it makes little if any difference.
