i just bought a kappa perfect sub..... i wanna build a box for it.... BUT.... i was looking at the infinity specs.... and it doesn't give me any measurements..... just a volume figure.....

specs r here.....
infinity kappa perfect 10 specs

can someone tell me what measurements the box should be? thx.

pls help!

that box is only like .35 cubes of airspace... that sub wants .6 cubes.

make it around 12x12x8 and your sub will be happy

You should use WinISD to build a box. It is a program that will give all of the info to achieve optimum performance for your subwoofer. All you have to do is input all of the specs for the sub, but I think that the Perfect may be already listed in WinISD, so you should have no problem. Maybe try porting it...I put ported ones in my girls car and they sound good, but check the specs because if you port it you can use more power according to Infinity's diagrams.

What ever you do, DO NOT buy a Q-logic box for the sub, because the perfect is a tad to small for a Q-logic 10" hole.

thx..... should i make the wall 3/4" or 1" thick???

by u mean 12x12x8...... do u mean that it not including the 3/4" or 1" thick wall?

.75" is fine for that woofer.

and when they say .6 cubic feet, you can make it any size you want, jsut be sure that the INNER dimensions calculate .6 cubic feet

the .6 cubic feet..... do i hafta worry about the volume that the sub will take up?

i feel like a newb..... totally new to this sub building..... i am a newb to this.

when is says to tune the port to say 35Hz..... infinity gives me the specs of
length=10.4" & diameter=3.0"

how do i tune the port?....

thx.

don't mess with a port if you've never built a box. it's just one more thing to mess up and it changes the dimensions of the box. You should compensate for the space the sub takes up, but the dimensions I gave you should work fine because the total airspace for that box is actually about .67. You'll be happy with a sealed box for now. Then, if you feel more comfortable with it later try a ported box for it. You're only gonna spend about $20-$30 on the materials!

I just made my first box and I made it ported, and it wasn't that hard. I had some other problems that were more difficult and time consuming then adding ports.

I found all the materials I needed to make ports at Home Depot too...rember their moto "You can do it, we can help"

i used to have 3 of those back in the day. they worked pretty good.

my advice:

blow your mine...........port your box.

hums....... my buddy is thinking of selling his 12w3 to me for 150CAN.... and the perfect 10 was also 150........

gotta go wid the JL man.

I would go for the Perfect 10" IMO...I have owned them and liked them (infact they are in my girls car)...the only problem was a lil bit of tinsel slap.

i have 2 perfect 12.1's and they sound great. i also had JL subs a long time ago and from what i remember they were pretty kick *** too

i'm goin wid the JL 12w3...... i'd rather have a bigger sub.... 12" than have a 10"..... and i heard problems wid the perfects how their build quality ain't that great.

that was with the first version of perfects
