I have 2 kicker solobaric L7 dual 4 ohm subs, I want to put each in a single tuned ported fiberglass enclosure, but can't for the life of me figure out how. I want the loudest, hardest hitting bass possible. Can someone please help me out?

The RMS is 650, max is 1500, I'm running a Kicker SX1250.1 D class amp to each at 2 ohms, and I'm wanting spl. I can build a regular ported box for big bass, but I want a tuned ported fiberglass box. Can you help me?

there is a solution to the problem i done some research on your setup.
you get a ported box for the specifed subs you using its a dual chamber box made of 3/4"mdf construction check it out on supercrewsound.com its gives you the specification of box itselfs
NB:let me know if the box will help!!!!

But that doesn't give port dimensions as well...

There is another question that wasn't asked... Are you looking for competition SPL or street bass SPL? Many sanctioned competitions measure SPL at around 70Hz but most people are looking to impress and slam their audience with deep tones, ie Street Bass at 30-40Hz. Kicker makes their own boxes and they are tuned to Street Bass.

From WinISD, I got 6cf tuned at 28.6Hz with a round 4" port 4" deep (flare on the outside end) will give you a 4.2dB boost at 59Hz... at 70Hz you'll get about a 3.9dB boost. Shortening the port 1" will jump the 70Hz to 4.2dB and peak 4.6dB at 57Hz but your response curve will sharpen a bit hurting the Sweep Measure (not often measured but for some people it matters)

I tried to get results for a big boost at 70Hz, but I keep getting errors returned. I end up with a really, really sharp curve that is very narrow. But it says that you'll get a 15dB boost. It would seem that the L7 has trouble with it (or the program can't fingure out the Qs for it at 70Hz) >.<

Well I hope this helps give better details for you

Definately helps, exactly what I was looking for, and to answer your question, yes, I'm looking for that blow your chest out bass. The kind that you hear coming from a mile away. So I need to build a 6cf box with a 4" x 4" round port. I have that program and I hate to say it but I just don't understand it at all. Here's another problem, Kicker S15L7, I'm putting this one in my spare tire hole, again running a SX125.1 amp to it. Can you help with this one?

Forgive me, but I am a bit confused here. Are you looking for Street Bass (the one you really feel and hear) or Competition Bass? The specs I gave were for Competition Bass. If you are planning on playing music through it, I must admit it will lose a lot of quality and sound (as my friend would say) craptastic. It's meant to hit hard, not sound great. I can re-run the numbers for a better sounding curve, but it may not hit as hard.

For the 15", I am assuming you meant the 1250.1 amp...   6cf with a square port 3.5"x16.25". I haven't run these numbers through WINisd.

Any particular idea you had?
