What are the correct Enclosure Dimensions for this SUB

sonirohit · 5th December 2009, 21:32

Hi Gurus,

I was having a look at the sub with the sub with the following specifications.

Diameter woofer 300 mm (12")
Max. Power 600 Watts
RMS Power 200 Watts
Impedance 4 Ohm
Frequency response 30 -1,000 Hz
Hole circle 297,0 mm

Thiele/Small-parameter
Fres 28 Hz
Qts 0,56
Qes 0,62
Qms 6,6
Vas 61 litres
Xmax +/- 8 mm

I could figure out that this sub will be best suited for a sealed enclosure. I have worked out some enclosure specifications - can you help me to validate if they look fine to you

Qtc is taken to be 0.865 and the Vb (Enclosure volume) comes out to 44.014 Litres or 1.55 CuFt

The L, W, D are taken to be 14, 14.5 & 18 I plan to use a 0.75" thick MDF to fabricate this enclosure.

For a sub which is of a normal size do these enclosure specifications look okay to you? I plan to start working on the enclosure fabrication over this weekend or next weekend

If you want to audition this sub in a 44 litre sealed box, let me know.

Sure - do we say tomorrow is a good time to do it? I'd like to audition your sub too (don't have a sub currently)

Sure no problem. Looking at the specifications, I could figure that it was the Blaupunkt sub. I have tried it 4 different enclosures and the sound signature varied tremendously with each design.

First, it was a 1cu. ft. sealed box, somehow didn't like the bass. It was more of a tight kick than a smooth thump. Second attempt, a 1.7 cu. ft. ported box, the bass was more like a single-note boom. Third attempt, 1.8 cu. ft. sealed box, the sub went really low but again wasn't the exact sound I was looking for. And finally, a 1.55 cu. ft sealed box, slight compromise on low end extension from the previous box but it was optimum mix.

It is indeed a blaupunkt sub - I deliberately avoided naming the brand - because I wanted unbiased opinions. I can figure out that you too are running a Blaupunkt.

The wiring has Not yet been rearranged- that's the reason I've been avoiding meeting you since our last meet( I am scared that you might post a pic of it in the Bad Installs thread)

The reason is that off late I've been busy with a few other things, not relating to auto-mobo's or ice (read Philately), I'd do it once the Sub Goes in...(I need carpets, Cutouts on the MDF plank on which sub is mounted which I plan to fix along with the enclosure) and then will call for a meet

btw - where can I get this in the city?

Well you can get a similar one from Sector 35, buts its rectangular and not of very good quality like MX ones.
