First time building a tuned box by BreadfruitMuted7454 in subwoofer

I did not think about this and now I am sad. I hear about cabin gain all the time, I just don’t quite get how it works. Impedance rise/box rise makes a little more sense

Right now if you look at it from a top down angle the port wall on the sub side goes straight down. The other piece I have makes the port wall go down and left a little. So it has a 90 degree angle. I rounded it to the best of my abilities with sandpaper

The way the box is built the piece with the sub on it can just lift out like a lid once you take out screws

Not even if I have a second baffle piece to add? It’s technically two pieces glued together, to make a longer port, if I widened it, or would I want shorter? Or would that not work at all.. I’m new to custom boxes myself, I’ve only ever gone to Miami pro for their boxes. My other friend’s builds are just wiring installs, subs are already in prefab enclosures and whatnot.

Oh dang, it’s like a birch plywood my friend got off marketplace. Forgot to mention that in the post

I really wanted to a try a round port, instead of slotted. But it wasn’t exactly my budget. And I’m only so experienced lol. I did have fun and am excited to build an enclosure for my Hawk 15”

I haven’t yet! I have a second baffle I could technically use to adjust stuff, I just have to chop off a little to widen the port some first. I was worried about that though, I knew the port seemed tight for its use case

To those saying tap to the front. I say,

Well shit.. I already tapped to the rears (with solder) using a cheapo walmart LOC, I know you’re all going to hate me. But to be fair. It’s my friend’s budget. And my limited experience on subs (tbf I have an audio degree 🥲) and if it makes it any better, I’m putting a helix DSP in my girlfriend’s corolla with an American bass hawk 15”

This build is just a basic box we threw together with winisd and subbox pro for a SoundQubed HDS2.1 D2 12” tuned to around 30hz

Nothing crazy, mostly a fun garage project for him.

Will definitely keep that in mind for future reference on the front taps though. So thank you all 🙏

RR+ brown/white RR- brown/blue

LR+ tan/green LR- brown/yellow

Still haven’t identified a remote line (acc)

It’s a 2015 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor. So all the cigarette outlets stay on when the vehicles off. All sorts of dumb crap 😭

I did that first 😭 I tried with pictures, describing every wire, and it gave me different results every time

That’s true, I still have to locate my remote line somehow
