View Full Version : Box for a 15" BTL

SO im going to be running a 15" BTL and it is going to be running on 1000 watts and then sometime in the future I will be getting a new amp or adding another to give it like 2000 watts. So what size enclosure would you recommend and what tuning to make the BTL bump like WHAT!!! on only 1000 watts???

Big & tuned low. TLine maybe? That oughta make the power handling suffer.

Purely a guess but. 4.5 @ 32?

I think im gonna go with an aeroport to save on enclosure size now what should I face things, right now I have sub back and the port firing into the cabin which is pretty hot.

We all seen BTLs take 3-4kw daily.. I'd say 1kw + a big box (5-6 cubes) isn't out of the question..

5 cubes is more realistic for a 15" BTL on 1kwrms.

Meh, I've personally always had better luck firing sub & port back.. then again, I'm not about to seal it off from the trunk either.. too much work for too little gain IMO.

So does this mean I can turn the gain on my amp all the way up and clip the hell out of it since the BTL can take it?

So in winisd it shows for three 4" ports vent length is ~17.5, so each port is 17.5 or the combined length of all the ports is ~17.5?

17.5" each port. Also, remember that is total length per port, each flared flange accounts for 3" of length. So, the pvc tube would need to be 11.5"

But you were giving it more than 1000 watts. So could I buy another sae-1000d and put one on each coil or would that not work? or like strap them or something???

fbi90909
06-21-2010, 09:20 PM
if i were you, try to sell the sae1k and pick up 2x saz15's or a saz3k.
i strapped my saz15d's for my 3k load.
i sold both amps later on and picked up the saz3k for the lms54

edit: ehhhhhh though going for 3k will require a bit more electrical upgrade. 2k should be sufficient and shouldn't need too much of electrical upgrades. i guess you could go 2 sae1's and strap them. one amp turns into the neg, the other amp turns into the pos, wire sub as normal.

here's what i did.after i had my box dimensions to us the max height and width available IN the trunk(run a double baffle, inner baffle to be SANDWICHED in all the exterior sides, the outer baffle to go from edge to edge)
i went out and bought a bunch of L brackets. you can get them from home depot. i found mine in the Deck/wood area. something like this
http://www.firstqualitymusic.com/p_52.aspx?source=FROOGLEFEED
the ones i bought had 4 holes on each side.

basically, pre-build the box outside of the car with NO glue. if you can get the L brackets in 2"x2" with 4 holes only screw in 2 of those screws to hold up each side. after you have it all box panels "locked" in place mark each location of the L brackets, just trace around the bracket.
when you are ready, unscrew everything.
lay a thick garbage bag on the floor of your trunk, lay your bottom peice, screw in the L brackets for the back board, screw in the prescrewed but not tight. lay your glue, screw in the back panel to the L bracket and tighten it down while screwing in all the remaining screw holes that weren't pre screwed. wipe off the excess glue. don't worry if glue gets on the L brackets. i would keep them in there as addition bracing for the enclosure in general.
add the L brackets for a side panel on the bottom, and carefully on the side of the back, add lots of glue to the areas that will be making contact to the side board and then lay your boards and tighten everything down. then work your way around the box.
do bottom, back, left, right, you can either get the top panel here or you can start with 1 of the baffles. though, if you add a baffle you'll be working through a 15" hole.
anyways as you get your panels in add glue to the seams. let dry and keep adding glue to the seams till you seal it up.


note: be sure you have your port openings done before you start assembly. would be a disaster trying to cut open port holes on an assembled in trunk box.

i know it's a little confusing, but look at my tc build. you'll kinda see how i built the box in the trunk.

in the design, add the lines for where the wood cuts n shit. even on the outside. that'll give you an idea of how to preplan with building your box in the turnk(if you're still going that route)

no bueno, you need to space it out cause of the port flares.
don't worry about it now, when you actually build the box you can then see where the ports will all sit and space out between each other.

06-28-2010, 08:22 PM
Gotcha, didnt know if it would be better to group them or spread them out to the corners.

ngsm13
06-28-2010, 08:24 PM
Yeah, and use actuale aero-ports too... not just PVC.

Did you read earlier where each flare accounts for 3" of the total port length? So take your total length, subtract 6", and that's what your PVC needs to be.

..or if you can find thinwall PVC, that's all aeros are. I used some on an 18" box build.. PSP fittings fit and the thinwall was the same, if not thinner.

It might help but with a BTL you are better off adjusting the lock latch for the trunk to "pinch" the trunk closed. It'll make it a little harder to close the trunk lid but it'll reduce the movement and rattle.

so the model of the specific subwoofer changes what you need to deaden? What kind of deadener would one need for this ?

Sort of but it's also setup dependent. I forward fire my sub with it sealed from the trunk. A large portion of my trunk is deadened but my trunk lid isn't. No pressure goes to the trunk anymore so the only deadening I will be doing there would be the wheel wells.
He's going to need to deaden it for sure bur as a quick fix adjusting the latch can help as a temp fix until he gets some deadening.
As for that magical sub, I'm sure Tyatis going to require some second skins prototype space technology deadening.
