Try the subs facing up and ports facing back but keep space between port and back . Or speakers facing back and ports up. It would be cool to see which way is louder

Use lots of Titebond 3 and clamps. Also Bracing where you can. And keep ports roughly the width of the port away from the back of the box. I love the pa subs

[@MrRupus2020]

I've been really impressed with the Gothic subs. I bought a pair for my son's first build. Ran a Autotek mean machine on them. I had the PA amp also, but the Autotek had a little more power.

[@anthonyicenhour8046]

EVERY HUMAN BEING IS BUILT DIFFERENT!! I'm almost 40, been bassin since 15, and competing. I go to the ear doctor every 6 months. Absolutely NO hearing damage or loss. (Not saying won't or will happen) That's also only 55hz and down. That I really expose myself to with 140-168.3. Also never for super long periods of time. So all in all. #BASSATYOUROWNRISK #BUTKEEPBASSIN #BASSHEADFAMILY

[@murrayshekelberg9754]

Yeah, I have seen plenty that says bass is fine. Hearing is usually damaged around the frequencies of exposure. A bit of hearing loss at 25hz is not going to have a huge impact on life or really even be noticeable in most cases. Its the guys that run all the mids and especially tweeters at ridiculously high power they wind up with issues. I have to do yearly hearing exams for work and mine stays roughly the same, it has actually improved slightly over the last couple of years which I attribute to some diet and exercise changes.

[@robcooper3171]

Remove that baffle with those aero ports and run a slot port. Aero ports are the easy way of doing it they are adjustable, but they rattle so it distorts sound. Add bracing to the box and give it 1 last GO. I mentioned a couple videos back To run those Subs on a real amp and you would notice a difference. In a small area when you're in that same spot as the subs and port , *trucks* the space is so small that port and speaker directions only effect the sound minimally. Good video Parker!

[@sovereignsammy8528]

What's the pros and cons of facing a ported box forward to cabin or backward to the trunk? Sedan car.

[@mikeschneider9462]

I agree the round ports sound the same as when your subs aren't sealed to the baffle correctly. The way the air has to escape sees rough. Like it's forced out rather then flowing out if that makes sense to anyone else.

[@robcooper3171]

@@sovereignsammy8528if you have removed rear seats you find it best with port forward and sub forward Port back and sub back with seats installed causes it to echo a little bouncing off the trunk lid before reaching the rear deck then your ears. Cars are picky because you're putting sound in a sealed area with very little option for it to escape to be heard. That's why you'll find tons of folks run SUV's for bass vehicles. Just overall best option.

[@donjaun540]

Great video Parker!!!😊

[@Supercharged1976]

I would love to see a test on those 15's where you run one free air like you did with the Deaf Bonce and the Sundown. I considered buying a pair to try but I don't know if I trust a basically unknown company. If it survived 5 minutes at or slightly above RMS I would for sure pick up a pair to replace my Deaf Bonce 305's.

also these subs i've seen in a really low tuned box, just i dont remember the exactly the tuning freq, but it was 25 hz or lower, and they liked that box...

[@RJSDZNS]

That's the main reason I wouldn't want a port like that. The rattle would drive me nuts! Slot port all the way! Great video though Parker. Shows you can have loud bass without breaking the bank.

[@Chuck_Sanders]

It's best, to secure the port inside the enclosure as well. Make a brace, and cut a hole in the brace, just like the opening of the enclosure, and secure it to the inside of the box as well. Keeps aero ports secure and braced inside, as well as screwed to the outside.

[@erik120719]

I like slot port also, not only does it have secure ports , but it also adds structural integrity to the box, bracing and no rattle, cant beat it IMHO

[@scottholt3545]

Them motors must be smoking? Good times. 👍

[@zoominnboomin]

I would have made the port out of wood. Designed the box with one big port. Never have to worry about it breaking or coming loose. This is how my box is designed for my 4 12s. It handkes 4800+ watts all day long. It has a 2 inch thick baffle.

It took a big chunk out of the side of the tap. I didn't feel anything and nothing else broke.

That box is falling apart because u didn't use any wood glue.. i watched your video when u built it and all u did was screw it together without glue and u put silicone on the top baffle which does nothing to hold the wood together.
