So I've been asked to build a couple subs for my brother and a friend. My brother is more limited on space and will only have one, and decided ported would be best. The other really likes the look of the Ultimax drivers and wants a smaller box, thus, the title of this thread.
So for the ported build I went with the SI 18 before they are gone forever. My brother (college student) is renting a house with room mates and is limited on space and budget, so I am trying to maximize what I can with his limitations. So I could use some tweaks if needed, or if it looks good, the green light.
I plan on starting this coming Tuesday and will post pics as I go.
Dimensions are looking to be 24" tall, 22" wide, 26" deep for about 6 cubic feet. He set those dimensions since he doesn't want it taller than his TV stand which is 24 inches, or stick out further than it, which is 26 inches. The width is about how much space he has from the TV stand to the wall. So pretty limited on dimension changes.
For the port I was planning a slot port, 20.5" by 1.75" tall and around 33" long. Should give a tune of ~20hz. He mostly listens to music and plays video games.
For the sealed, I am looking at about 4 cubic feet. Nothing too fancy and should be straight forward. This will be replacing an HTIB system, so let's just say there will be plenty of head room with the Ultimax.
Both will be powered by using the iNuke 1000dsp.
I played around with WinISD and this is what I got for the 18:

Thanks!
