ok i just ordered my 15in MOJO sub, it comes in monday.

so, im gonna have a box built. id do it my self but i dont have the resources or time.

heres why i need someone who knows a LOT about memphis.
the dealer i bought from told me i have to have a super strong box (tank like even)
is this true? i mean i know the sub is crazy powerful, but im not gonna be competeing with it, and im only gonna have 3000 watts on it. so do you think 1in MDF would be ok? or is the dealer right, i need a freakishly sturdy box for ths thing? cuz i dont want to pay for something like this if i dont NEED it.

oh itll be ported, 2.5-3.5 cu. ft. space.

 

Yes, 1 inch is fine. Bracing is key. You want to keep the box walls from flexing.

hey bud ,

if your not gonna do spl comps dont bother , 3/4 is fine but if youare runing 3000w , um i dont get it, do you just wanna be deaf or?...

 

lol....u know, to be honest i dont know what my goal is...
i guess if i had to pick...id say my goal is to be the loudest in my town...with only one sub. i see kida with two 12s or 15s and they think they are so cool. the ones with 15s are the worst. so im gonna show them that my single 15 is louder than all of them.

im gonna use 1in no doubt...but as far as bracing...any tips or pics?

 

A brace will assist in keeping thee wallsfrom flexing. This picture shows a sample brace in a .88 cubic foot box for a 12" sub from Obcon. You are going to need something similar.

Also, what amp are you using?

right now im pretty set on buying the HiFonics Brutus X15000D

itll crank 1500w RMS into 1ohm.

from what i here his boxes are the shizzle, i have been looking into those hifonics amps im thinking of getting a few of them but am waiting for someone to buy all my car audio stuff!

 

i bet a brahma could kick its ___.

actually, i've never heard memphis before, but as far as i'm concerned, adire's brahma is the best sub out there.

 

i agree the brahma's are great subs im torn between those and the re xxx

Personally from my experience, with a sub that big and that powerful 1" MDF sounds about right... bracing is also a must... you can also try fiberglassing the inside of the box... get a good layer all around which will also replace the need for silicone to seal the cracks/edges. Personally, I made my own ported box for a 15" Resonant Engineering HC which is 1200wrms but i only used 3/4" MDF... havent had a problem and it sounds great. But, about the Brutus X1500D... its overrated and mine just went out on me... I would probably say find another amp or definitely get some type of warranty deal on it.

heh yea...4000 watts is nice...but i cant afford that. and like i said, im not going to comp, its a daily driver.

as far as calling in for box help im gonna wait till after tomorow when the sub comes in, and ill talk to the guy there about building one.

 

hey boom12v, would the premade boxes memphis offer work with the MOJO?

 

it looks like you'd be better off building a box, cause it's gonna need to be heavily braced....

this will give you some ideas on bracing....be sure to account for the displacement of the braces in the calculations for volume, ports, etc....

 

Well it would fit the hole but.... no not really. Check this link and look at the box sizes.

here is a good walkthrough on box building, towards the bottom it has good info on bracing:

it wont work on my computer...dont have acrobat reader or w\r its called.

can u explain to me what i would be looking at? anyone...

 

Well then.... hmmm... I would go back to the call Tanner idea then. 1800-467-2400
