10" Subwoofer & Terminal Cups

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have a generic model of a 10" Subwoofer?

Also anyone have a terminal cup modeled?
Any of the styles below would be a great starting point.

Promised the wife I would built her a nice fitted Box/amp rack for her
truck. Figured it would be a nice Inventor project too.

Thanks

I stuck a rough model I made of an Emminence 10" speaker in customer-files.
Howerver, you shouldn't trust this as-is. Speakers vary videly in their
dimensions, not to mention that the specific speaker you choose will effect
the box volume you're going to want. You can download the specs of most any
driver from the manufacturer's site. If you haven't chosen a driver yet, I
would suggest www.partsexpress.com. They've got a very wide selection of
audio gear.

Inventor can help out a lot in designing the box to the correct volume. I

Walt, you don't happen to have an Altec 515G modeled do you? how bout an
Altec 511 horn? I have been wanting to model my VOTT's for quite a while now
but don't have the time to model the components

That should work ok for the intial design, and when I buy some subs I can
tweak that speaker model to the correct sizes. I am going with a sealed box,
most 10" subs I have looked at require 0.75 cu ft (few are1.0 Cu Ft), so
again I can just tweak the volume when I make a purchase. Using good old
MDT6 I already have the box volume to 0.752 Cu ft should be close enough.

Thanks for the model!

PS anyone got a tan carpet texture?

Nope, Sorry. Even the one I had was a pretty vague model.

Go for a bass reflex (ported enclosure) you have a better chance of a good
sound rather than a flat or booming bass.
Once the sealed enclosure is built it will sound like it sounds.
A bass reflex will be tuneable and at worst you can seal it up.
Or make your sealed enclosure and port it after if your not happy.
There is no comparison in sound IMO but you will have to pick a unit for
bass reflex at the start, a unit specifically for sealed acoustic suspension
enclosures will not be good for a bass reflex.
But if you pick a bass reflex unit it can be used in either, there cheap and
modern cones are quite flexible so your be ok anyway.
If your amp is 100 W RMS get 150 W RMS on the unit.
If your filtering the sub you need more watts than an unfiltered unit, if
your not 20 watts plus and your be deafened by the mid and high frequencies.
A modern 10" unit will go up to 3khz most music is all done at 3.5khz!
Sealed enclosures tune up the speaker not down as in bass reflex.
Filtering the sealed enclosure will be disappointing.
Good luck.

I was thinking of a ported enclosure at first, but the extra volume required
was taking up too much room.
Its been five years since I last built a system (a really nice ported
enclosure with two rockford 12") guess its time to research and catch up on
what has changed. Think ill buy some subs this weekend that way I know
exactly what I am designing to.

Thanks for the comments.

One cubic foot enclosure would require a 2"dia port and a duct (Tube) about
3 to 5 " long for a 10" driver.
The advent of ducted ports (Port with duct) as opposed to just ports enables
very compact enclosures.
Like you modern in car sub woofers!

I finally got some speakers (Sony Xplod 10" 300w $88 Can each)
Here is the sealed box so far, I am going to do a ported next to see the
size differance.
Thanks for the speaker model Walt, a few size adjustments and a decal and it
works great.
