Ok lemme say this first.......i DO know what i am doing with my car audio system. Please do not leave feedback for this question unless you actually know what u are talking about... DCACIVIC FRIQU i will be looking for a responce from you two. I am running an Infinity VQ Kappa Perfect in a sealed box, it is run off of a Rockford Fosgate BD1000.1 (class d) amplifier. The sub is VERY clear, but i want it to be louder. Can i go ahead and port this box with say a 2 or 2.5 inch port? Or am i goin to lose too much quality? I have never ported a sealed box before, but have built bandpass boxes in the past. I figure since the sub sounds so clear as it is, i could probably port it......gain more bass.......yet still have a decently clear sound. What do u guys suggest?

 

Never been a fan of bandpass... i normally prefer sealed because they can duke out spls at higher levels. I dont know what the box looks like either. could you give me dimensions and cubic feet? Oh... I applaud you for the class d amp. Some peopl think any damn amp will do.

 

its a single sub box.......like a cubic foot of space......maybe a little more.......and remmy i dont want it bandpass......just considering tossin a port in the box thats all.

 

ooo lemme show you something. Alot of people thing a fugging pipe wil do the trick. Check this out.http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=260-713. 2 of those bad boys on each bottom, back side should do the trick. If you were going for the traditional id stick with NO MORE than 2 inches in any bottom back corner, or under the driver on either side. Its all about playing with it. Youll eventually learn and it shouldnt take you long since ive been watching your responses on audio.... you do know about a thing or 2

 

yeah dont go to large at all, you dont want that bottom out or cave noise that your afraid of. remmys said most u can..theres not much to say.. if u place it right. and keep it smallish..u should be good to go, uv got a great amp. and sub soo just try it out..and if it sucks..make a new one lol..or even make a new box with a port and see how that goes, and if u hate it ull still have ur got box

 

true im thinkin like a 1.5-2 inch port.......im goin to go check radioshack and see if they sell ports.....if not ill just go to home depot and check the PVC isle.

 

YO DCA

i got that amp for 130$ LOL.........it was retailin for like 600 at the time.........some kid had it in his car and had NOOOO idea what it was. He asked if i wanted to buy it..........i saw it and played it cool......."Yea it mite be worth a little.....ill give u 130 for it." he was like "SOOOOLD!!!".......im walkin away like "Heh heh.......[sm=happy046.gif][sm=owned.gif]

 

hehe..stupid kids

 

wow...howd u play that cool? id've jizzed myself on the spot :P

 

well idk about u but it takes a little more than that for me to jizz myself.

BUT ABOUT THIS PORT.


DCA where do u think ud put the port? On the top of the box? or maybe to the left of the right on the front?......im thinking top.....ive seen Qlogic ported boxes and thats where theyve put theirs.
