Is this a good set up? What do you think?

Looks like 2 truck boxes to me in the trunk of a G.

Why not just build one and build it to the specs of the woofer?

 

Too much mula. I might just buy a generic ported box. I'm going towards spl. Not looking to spend too much money

 

Sigh

not this again.

 

Sorry people have different budgets

 

get a box from zenclosures. wat a waste of trunk space u got going on there

 

Different subs require different ports and volume of the box, and there's also the fact that their size usually means that the generic shape fits poorly, so a "generic" ported box is kind of an oxymoron.

Now, if it's a ported box made for one woofer for one car, you can mass produce them.

Sealed though, there's a lot broader range of applicability, so you can have a good, "custom-fit" box that is generic like the 4080 or zenclosures one.

 

^^how would that re audio sound in a sealed box? It's an spl woofer so I thought a ported box would work fine.
I'm no audiophile, my brother has 2 10'' w1s in a ported box from best buy and it bumps plenty hard for me.

 

check the specs on the woofer. Does RE Audio give recommendations for ported and sealed enclosures on the woofer you want?

 

If you're going for SPL, ported is *definitely* the way to go. SQ has supporters on both sealed and ported side.

 

^^would that re audio sub and an zenclosures box give me good spl and good sq? Should I do 10'' or 12''?

 

Zenclosures seals the trunk from the cabin, so not a spl setup. Sq is affected negatively by that ad well, but not as dramatically. It'd still sound good, but wouldn't be near a good proper ported box.

 

Alright sounds like im going to stick with the original idea or i might just buy a prefab ported box and use that.

 

well before you buy..try to do some quick math on the air space and port. Maybe you can find something close to what RE Audio recommends.

 

I found a pre fab that's very close to what re audio recommends. The box is 12'' tall i don't know if that will fit in the back part of the trunk
