hi
this is a bit of a repost from another forum so i apologise if anyone has read it else where! (you could have replied there
)
any how
BACKGROUND... A few years ago now i was wanting to build a DIY HT sub, i ended up picking up 2x JL Audio 12W3v2s (D2). I built a sealed enclosure and used an old JAMO plate amp to power it. In my old house it worked really well, the positioning had a really good side effect where it would shake the entire sofa so added to the experience. I have since moved and it was rarely used. I am about to move again and so would like to build these drivers into a pair of boxes and use a proper amp to power them.
PLAN ... So i have the 2 drivers, i have now purchased an inuke 1000 DSP to power them. The house i am moving to has a more spacious lounge so i am thinking of building 2 matching slot ported boxes.
my initial issue is i am a noob with WinISD, also the JL manual seems to be missing some parameters that i would need for WinISD. (http://mediacdn.jlaudio.com/media/mf...pdf?1317764968)
could someone help with some box basics? i know i could fairly easily make a pair of sealed enclosures but i feel as though i was missing out on a lot of low end extension with the sealed box before. I guess I just need a ideal box volume and some dimensions for the port? i would like them to go as low frequency wise as they are able.
If anyone can add some assistance or point out anything i have overlooked then id really appreciate it! or if someone could model one of the drivers in WinISD and send me the file there would certianly be a beer in it for them (first come fist served i best point out here haha)
many thanks in advance
Jason
