Subwoofers Ported
Is My Ported Box Right For My Subwoofers??
I have 2 12" Alpine Type R SWR-1242D subwoofers and 2 Kenwood Kac-8103D 1000 watt amps sitting in a Sealed Enclosure with a factory head unit. I just bought a ported box which can be seen by following the link below:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150172506822
Considering the information provided, will the ported box I just purchased be a good match for my subs??
It is hard to tell from the information in the ebay page. First, for that price I assure you that a High Quality MDF was not used. This is important in the sound of the subs. It also does not give much information about the specific volume of each chamber. It is important that each chamber be specially fit to the recommended volume of the subs. It says 4 cubic feet which is pretty good if each chamber is 2 cubic feet.
The most important thing that i didn't see on the information if what the port was tuned to. This is a very important part of a Ported Enclosure because an improperly tuned enclosure can not only sound bad, but also damage your subs.
The enclosure is an important part of system, if it is not correct then the sound can be greatly hindered. You may get lucky though and the subs will sound good in it. It is hard to tell exactly with some of the information missing. If it doesn't sound good then you can always use your sealed enclosure.
Remember that when it comes to Car Audio, you get what you pay for. This is especially true when it comes to ebay 
Good Luck!!!
