a question about the build and specs of my box

[mrwigglezdj]

i have 4 12 inch fosgate p1s in a 7cf box each in a ported chamber with 1.75cf per chamber and i have 12sq in of port per chamber .i was reading at this web site
http://www.ddaudio.com/dd/caraudio/enclosureInfo/enclosureInfo.asp
that i need more port for more spl and im sure i do after going to the comp and seeing some of the boxes and how they are made and what not
so sould i remake my box to be a giant open box with 8cf space with all 4 subs on one side and a giant port on the other *like rads box if you have seen it* and give the box a total of 60-63 sq inch of port for the most energy out of my system

bigger is not always better! but the style of box your talking bout building sounds like a mini wall.... id suggest building a full sized wall if your going to go that route.... the biggest problem your going to have with a wall is where to put your tools and wood :D

well my wall proved to be a major failure i gained .1db lol at the comp so im thinking about replaceing my 4 fosgate p1's with something better since i know i have the bottom line with em so i looking for replacement 12's to go into my new box ill be building this week so anyone with a brand and what not let me know ill be looking in the price range of 100-200 each for the replacement not anymore because it is a work van afterall lol i was thining about geting some powerbass 12's so i could try n keep up with rad but i dont know if i could afford to power them up properly or if you seen the wall and might know where i went wrong let me know and ill fix it ill be able to remove the driver and passenger seat next show lol and i will have my new xover tuned into the system as well but if theres something i could do without replacein the speakers im good with that too * atleast then i wont have to hide new speaker purchases from my ole lady lol*

Well, from what I could see (In between dodging traffic on beal parkway), have you tried a slot ported box? The ports look a little on the small side.

I don't think removing the seats will net you anymore spl. I would think that it would decrease the amount of space you need to pressurize by leaving them in there.

Don't feel too bad though, I had to leave after my first spl run and couldn't get a chance to post a higher number. I was so mad about that.
Did I miss anything important?

all and all it was a awsome show some good numbers came from it and there was a cake contest which was funny to watch and the *guy in pink* did a dance on all the gilrs there it was very funny all in the name of a good sport to seel more raffle tickets for the amps lol

Well guys I had a blast and WAS looking forward to next weekends show. But seeing as it is about 330 am and I am sitting on the side of I-75 waiting on AAA because For some strange reason one of my pistons did not like its home and decided to go through the block so I am not sure I will be doing ANY shows for a few months which means I loose my $200.00 I spent pre registering for SBN!

Hey Rickie,
I am sorry to hear your trip home turned out the way it did.
Enjoyed meeting ya at the show.
Im sure you will bonce back fast.
Cannt keep a good man down for long.
The Top 10 Gitter Dun Points are up and the race is on.

Yeah the race was on!

You cant keep me down for long for sure, but since I am trying to build a complete show car I believe it only makes since to spend time and money on completing my engine project.

I will sit out this year and bounce back at the first giterdun show after finals!
While car is down it will get completly rewired and deadened with a new set up!
