Deep Bass box

hey guys, whats up...Gotta question for ya so here goes

Is it true that the bigger the box the deeper the bass. Now im not talking about a 50ft box is going to make my heart bump out of my chest but just a little larger box might help? I kno its not that simple cause there are formula's and everything to make a box thats why im here. I want to make a box that will fit 4 or even 6 6 1/2's (havent decided yet) and a 10 or 12 " sub. Now im not going down the SPL route Im going for strickly SQ. i want HQ speakers and a deep deep sub. So im looking at the box having the speakers on the side and the sub in the middle.. can i have the sub without and enclosement inside the box? should i have the sub enclosed in the box? also..its not safe to have the amps inside the box cause of no air correct? can i face the amps inside? If my sub is enclosed in the box i can have the wires run out the box but if i have the amp not enclosed in the box then i cant let the wires run out due to the fact that air is geting in and out.. and thats not right?

anywayz i dont want to confuse you guys anymore cause im confused just listening..this is the first step so i can change and im going to change alot of things from your responses... I'd appreciate any feedback you guys can give me.. and any ideas you guys got im totally open to them... thanx for your time guys

Ok I will give this a shot. First, have your sub in an enclosed chamber (to itself). Second, do not mount your amp inside the box, mount it on the outside ( depending on the size of the amp etc. you will want steady air flow moving over the heatsink taking the heat away. You are correct about the different boxes, look at your manufactures recommended box size. Depending on what kind of music you listen to may influence this choice as well. A properly ported box (larger) will likely give you a little deeper bass than a sealed box. You can get deep bass out of a sealed box but may need to put more power to it. If you look on here you can find a box/port calculator that should assist you.

For example I had a 10" sony explode in a sealed box with a 250w ( RMS) amp....my midrange hit deeper than it. So I kept the same amp and sub but put it in a ported box and got some decent bass out of it. Then I got good subs and gave the Sony away! ( no offence to Sony guys)

Thats better?

"Why do you want to put so many 6.5" speakers back there?" I want more highs. I want to hear alot of sound from speakers and just a little from the subs.as my previous setup i had more bass then anything so im trying to flip it. Also because im on a street team for a few of the underground/indie scene and i pull up to concerts and shows and play the music and have anyone that likes it to come check it out.. Thats my biggest concern so my previous setup had 200watts from speakers i would like about 400-500. I Will hardly be inside the car but about 10-15 feet away.

As for your "what is a proper sub box" sticky. Great stuff saved it and printed it out for future reference. That shows me what kind of boxes there are and to how to make them. But imma Newb i don't know which box to make. Maybe im missing something..thats why im here to learn...sorry if im slow.

they have those?!?!

Im going to do some research right now.

Thanx for the tip. I greatly appreciate it.

Thanx alot man.. appreciate your 2 cents

thanx again man its greatly appreciated

Amps aren't 4 ohm amps.  That is just the load they are rated at.  If an amp can safely play at 4 ohms and then it can play at 8 ohms.  There will just be less power produced due to the higher resistance.

Personally I think you are going about it wrong with adding a large number of speakers instead of going with less speakers of high quality, powered properly with an amplifier, and installed properly.  My 2 cents.

luckydevil, yeah they are home speakers.

Zhalverson, Appreciate the 2 cents as a matter of fact if you were in my position what kinds of speakers would you get and why those?

Toby, if you step outside your car..how far can u still hear it? 15-20?...also wouldn't a component system be clearer?

thanx for your input

lol n/p man thanx for ur reply

Component speaker is a car audio speaker matched for optimal sound quality. Typically a pair of tweeters and mid-bass drivers are matched with a crossover to limit the frequency range each speaker must accurately reproduce. Component speakers drivers are physicaly separated so the tweeter, which is very directional, can be placed in an optimal position, usually on the dash facing the listener, while the larger mid-bass driver can be placed where there is room, often in the lower front of the car doors. Component speaker pairs are offered by all of the high-end audio manufacturers.osition, usually on the dash facing the listener, while the larger mid-bass driver can be placed where there is room, often in the lower front of the car doors.

hmm.. interesting... thats sounds like the best way to go.. get 2 either 10in or 12in speakers and just use that.  Next step...anyone got any fav or know of any speakers i can put it.. Anyone try and and pleased with results? so should i take my interiors speakers out so i dont have 2 different types of speakers or is that okay?

thanx for the reply.

yeah that was one of the next steps i wanna take.. didn't want to get to much ahead of myself but now that u mentiond it. why not bring it up =) anyways i've seen red yellow and blue top batteries. im guessing that has alot to do with it and a blue top is the top of the line one correct? what should i be looking for when i look for a battery? because its a deep cycle battery my alternator won't get its hair pulled right?

thanx for the replies guys..Greatly Appreciated.

hey aznboi, you know of any other websites with these kinds of speakers?

How would in-wall or ceiling speakers do? When i go to search for more speakers  they are all in cabinets already how do i find just the speaker? how do i search for them..any special keywods?

thanx man

In theory that amplifier will put out 100 watts at a 16 ohm load. Speakers do not push any wattage.

Are you looking for speakers to be used primarily for tailgating? Do you want something you can set up outside of your vehicle? Or are you looking for something to be mounted in the rear of your vehicle that will be audible outside of the vehicle. BTW, what year, make, and model vehicle do you have?

basically..somthing to be mounted in the rear that you can hear outside...

I'm planning on making a box that i can transport between vehicles..right now i have a 92 jeep but i will be geting a trailblazer within the next month. so i was thinking about making a box and putting the amps and everything on the box so when i get my new suv. i can just unwire the wires and take the box.

thanx for replies..
