Alright. My 15 " tempest is suppose to arrive here Wendsday so I'm trying to get a head start on my box. I took some measurements and and picture to try and let you see it.

Tell me what you think I should do. I would like to go ported, but this is my first box and i'm not sure how everything works with ported so you'd have to explain it all to me.

See other message board.....

 

around 3 cubes sealed or around 4 cubes ported will be great. A single 4 inch port may be OK, but you might have a little bit of port noise.... twin 4 inch ports is a little overkill, but you would be garanteed no port noise. a single 3x6 slot port should be great. If you have never built your own ported box before i would recommend a 30-33 Hz port tune.

 

can't you use pvc pipe to port the boxes with?

 

You can, but ordinary pvc pipe doesn't have a lip so when you stick it in a box it might look ghetto. Real ports aren't that expensive if you don't think you want to tackle a slot port. If you find the right size, you can attach pvc pipe onto a regular port to extend it if needed.

 

Alright. got the tempest today. man it freaking huge! . Big difference between my old Kicker Comp 10". Now I gotta mind some MDF wood and build.... something

 

Cool. Let us know if you need any more help. We wanna see pictures!!!!
