quick question how much do you think a slotted box would cost for a 15' inch woofer?

 

about the same as a sheet of 3/4" MDF, a box of screws and a roll of carpetting.

Seriously, you can build a box for $50 or you can buy one for anywhere from $75 to $800. IMO, sealed produces a better sound quality. Slotted takes a pretty good understanding of box design. Simple ported would be better because you can get volume and port specs from the speaker manufacturer.

I plan to build a box with discrete sealed enclosures for 2 8's and a 15.

 

yeah i realized at work today i meant to say ported.

 

Eventually i will be installing my new stereo equip. but its 4 now its building up dust in my room. but i was wanting to ask somebody wht gauge speaker wire is in a stock car stereo possibly mine? like 18 or 16? and if i was to change the wire out for better wire wht gauge should i get 14? but my friend wants me to get 12 i told him tht it would be road kill lol soo wht u think?

 

i think the correct term is ported

 

A ported and a slotted box do differ...

 

how so

 

A slotted port has to be calculated differently when being planned and built. I'm unsure of the difference between sound, but there is a significant difference between construction and appearance.

 

Slotted boxes are for SPL. They have a ton of output and sound like crap cause theyre very one note'ish.

 

and it could be even mor ethan 800 if you want a bandpass box like i have it is around 1200.00
