Project Build for dan69372. Dual 12 enclosure 4.3 cubic feet @ 32 HZ Pics

[iamamp3pimp]

this is a build that i completed yesterday, to be shipped out today. Here are the specs

2 12 Type R's
1 4.3 Cubic foot 32 HZ enclosure with 52 inches or port area.

Charcoal grey carpet, and a red port (To match the type r's)




Here come the pics tough, because i know just how worthless this thread is without them.,


lol

the first shot is a shot of what it takes to create something usable in the first place.

A saw, and raw MDF

Here i have most of the pieces cut and the port pieces are painted Red, as requested.

Building of the ports. it is 4 inches wide on the face, and extentd along the back wall @ 2 inches each side, for 2.75 inches, giving the required length, to get the proper tuning

More Pics Coming soon.

Very soon

how does a dual flare at the end affect tuning?

[vetkilr]

You pretty ****** you will be makin me a box when I want one.

Didnt know you did this also.Swwet Maybe we can find a way to get a really Big box in this **** thing.....lol

[vetkilr]

What are the dem. of the box?

[vetkilr]

how does a dual flare at the end affect tuning?


It extends the port looks like 4" to make it like its 4" longer its just following the back of the box instead.

[iamamp3pimp]

Had to keep the ports nice and round. I am impressed with the way taht this one came out.

[iamamp3pimp]

how does a dual flare at the end affect tuning?


well it starts off 4 inches on the front, and i split it in half, for the backside. where it splits, it is 2 inches on each side. but the port area is the same, so its no different than a basic L port, minus the fact that that isnt practical for this box, hence the flare.

Its pretty close to the older uberwoofer box i made awhile back. its tuned near 33 HZ, and its 3.8 cubes for a 15, although it is only 13 inches tall.

[iamamp3pimp]

I even added about 6 feet of Wire to the box, no terminals of course, but wire through the box, sealed up with on on each side, to get a proper seal from it.

[vetkilr]

Now thats what Im talkin about.
sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the Red. Will look nice in a car.

Word. A few things:

1. What's the significance of 702?
2. You can get terminals for real cheap at parts express (last few items in the speaker terminals page, ~ 45 cents each. They are wonderful.)

3. Did you sand the box?

702 is iam's old area code in Nevada I'm guessing.

1. 702 Creations

2. He didnt want terminals, and frankly, i agree. I hate them

3. Yea i sanded down the edges, as well as the port, before carpeting it.

[iamamp3pimp]

yeah Kenny thats correct also.

[PV Audio]

Aww, I love speaker terminals.

You can only have 10 images per post.

[xluben]

hmm, my calculations give about 3.7 ft^3 net, tuned to around 35Hz. i think you forgot to include port displacement when calculating tuning...

[iamamp3pimp]

Like to see your calculator......

[Flipx99]

How do you compensate for have the port in the middle as opposed to the sides? Say port length is 15" and you want a center port, does each side of the port need to be 15?

[iamamp3pimp]

yes both sides need to be equal.

[xluben]

=[(32-1.5)*(14.5-1.5)*(22.25-1.5)]/1728
=4.76 ft^3 internal volume not factoring in port displacement

=(13*4*25)/1728
=0.75 ft^3 port volume

=[(13*0.75*25)/1728]*2
=0.28 ft^3 displacement of MDF used to make the port

=4.76-0.72-0.27-0.16 (0.16 is driver disp. estimate)
=3.57 ft^3 net volume after all displacements

Plug that into WinISD and it says 36Hz tuning.

The only reason I noticed is the dimensions are nearly the same as this box:

http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4435/35cubes32hz50sqin6lw.png

which I was going to build, and I noticed that the port wasn't quite as long, so the tuning must be higher.

But I really like the box, looks great. It would be a perfect fit in my trunk, and if the port walls were extended a couple inches the tuning would be what I am looking for also :)

[iamamp3pimp]

winisd doesnt factor in port displacement for tuning, therefore, the volume that you add into the *Volume* field, is gross, not net. once you factor out the sub/port wall displacement, thats how you get your correct tuning.

[dan69372]

thanks for everything man

[iamamp3pimp]

No problem bro. be careful when you get it....its a heavy bish

if it uses of the sides of the box for one side of its port wall, then:

(port height) x (port length-wood thickness) x (port width + wood thickness) / 1728

if the ports in the middle of the box, and has its own walls, then:

(port height) x (port length - wood thickness) x [port width + 2(wood thickness)] / 1728

[PV Audio]

Mike, do you like seafood? Extremely large shrimp to be exact?

[xluben]

I don't know if I completely understand what you said, but I'm pretty sure you need to enter the net volume in WinISD.

Yep, my mistake. I think that is why I got slightly different results than when I posetd earlier (because I had done it correctly then).

[Mike yayo]

Thats a nice looking box.

[DBfan187]

Mike, do you like seafood? Extremely large shrimp to be exact?I love PRAWNS!

[vetkilr]

I love your avatar.

[NoRemoteNoTV]

thats a nice lookin box, Im thinkin about building one like that for my car and trying to fit it in my trunk with 2 mtx thunder 9500s with .19ft^3 driver displacement, the tuning wouldnt go up much would it? anyways nice box it looks solid and clean as can be

[vetkilr]

Thats about what the type r displacement is I think.

[iamamp3pimp]

tuning might go up a little.

wouldnt be noticable though

[NoRemoteNoTV]

alright thx guys I didnt figure it would go up much, I hate to ask but is there any way u could post all the measurements for the box....I really love it and its like the only box Ive seen so far that I can fit in my trunk, I understand if u dont wanna post it Id just have to measure it out myself :P thanks again for all the help

[vetkilr]

$10.00 is the norm.

pm pimp and tell him you want them.

[iamamp3pimp]

PM Me and ill hook you up.

I wont charge you though.

[vetkilr]

He man there are some american bass amps I like in the classifieds.
100.1ssssssssssssss

[iamamp3pimp]

maybe you should cop them, and keep em

[vetkilr]

cop them???

[iamamp3pimp]

buy them.

[vetkilr]

Are they good???

Know anyone that has had any???

[Chevyaudio]

lawl @ prawns...

Oh and I was wanting to design a box like that...my question is Do you design it just like you would a reuglar L Port box...could you take the port area of that box and the port lenght, and turn it into an L port and put it in the exact same size box as the one you build and It be tuned the same...SRY if that was confusing.

[iamamp3pimp]

it would be tuned just a little bit lower, because you are losing one of the port walls......but its less than 1HZ, and i doubt it would be noticable. if you wanted to keep it the same, then you can use enough bracing to compensate for the missing port wall...


if that makes sense.

[dan69372]

thanks for everything man i just received it man...heavy as ****....rapped that ***** nice took me 10mins to open it ....thanks man...this is a great dude yall and box builder

[iamamp3pimp]

thanks man, i appriciate it.

Glad that you like it, and that it arrived there safely.

[iamamp3pimp]

Have you gotten this hooked up yet?

[disturbed_cbr]

How does it sound and for what woofers???? I need some designs for 2 12" 3004 SPL's tuned around 32 - 35 Hz can ya help me out man that box is really NICE!!!

Thanks for your time...

[iamamp3pimp]

Thanks.

you have a PM.

[nVRuckus]

back from the dead because I can
