Thats why I am asking ya'll anyone can put a speaker in a box but to make it sound good is another thing.

Now I took the speaker out and looked everywhere I can not find a model number so I took pics so maybe you guys can still help me. All this stuff came out of my 01 silverado and it sounded real good in there but it was in a custom box. Now I live in bfe and well if it ain't corn or soy beans they know nothing about it...lol just kidding just don't know anyone here yet. Anyway here are the pics please help me

that is the memphis power reference series...it says it on the magnet. With those if you run sealed your gonna want to run between .75^3 and 1^3. Likewise, if you want to run ported, you want to have the enclosure at 1.25^3

Memphis Enclosure Chart
^^^the model you want to look at is the 15-PR10D4

 

and those specs are just general numbers....usually a bigger box equals higher effeciency and increased output...I will be giving my 12" type r's 2.5 cubes each, quite a bit more than alpine recommendations....just food for thought....

 

Okay I am way out of my leugue here and I will say that but I am not getting it.







15-PR10D4

0.65 / 0.82

1.25 / 1.50

1.25 / 45 / 10.5 x 1.25 x 16

I have 2 subs and have no clue on the voice coils at all. I am saying that the numbers are cubic feet of air space right?
Also would ported or sealed sound better in your opinion?

The radio shops around me want 3 to 4 hundred dollars to make a custom box and I am not in it for the bass to bust windows and all that stuff I just want when a good song comes on to make it sound like I am in the bar listening to it. Does that make sence?

I am 33 years old with 4 kids so I am not looking for a 18 year old kid system at all nor do I wish to put 3 to 4 hundred dollars in a box to take up space in my truck. But when I had the tv's and radio installed in my silverado the guys understood all that and got it right the first time but they are in Texas and I am in Iowa so this is why I am asking and valuing your oppinion on this and I really do appriciate the help I really do.

 

sealed=tighter/more accurate bass/increased power handling.
ported=louder/boomier and increases effeciency

depends what YOU think sounds better......after all they are YOUR ears [8D]

 

if you want a good sounding enclosure.....here is what you can do. Go to Home Depot / Lowes, get asheet of 3/4" MDF (usually around $20 depending where you live), build a 2cubic foot sealed enclosure. It will sound good and not cost $300-400.

 

1.25 / 45 / 10.5 x 1.25 x 16

Ok I like the ported choice so what I am seeing up here is I need 1.25 cubic feet of air space for 1 speaker correct?

and would I want 4 ports in the box or 2 or the one with slots?

Me building a box could be done however I am affraid I will mess something up or it will look to cheap. I can do engines all day long and upholstry but just don't think I am ready for the build your own box step from scratch. I can follow prints but I can not draw anything but sticks....lol

 

RE's website has a program that gives you all dimensions.....cut sizes, port length, width etc....and its free
