I'll see what I can do what tuning freq?

It looks like you can get 34Hz @ 6 cu/ft, hows that?

[dvrmstrng]

sounds good my man...if 6 cubes is not possible with that depth im gonna see if i can stretch out a few more inches...

[rpfuror]

with your current Max dimension you can get
84 sq/in of port @ 6 cu/ft @ 33.5 Hz

im going to the gym...so im gonna measure..i might be able to get another inch or two for depth...so i can get my tuning right at 32...ill be back around 11 if your gonna be on and ill give you the measurements.

thanks a ton

i need to know how to build this box...like what side to start with...this is my first build and im a little confused about where to start..i need to know weather to start with the side or the top or the port....

Ever play with legos? It's like that.

[dvrmstrng]

i know i just didnt know how to do it...looks like i should start with the bottom...attach the sides.....do the double baffle top and front with the port attached....then attach that to the sides

[Pyro_By_Nature]

It depends on the box for me.But personally I lay the bottom down, do the back, sides, front baffle, then port (if it attaches to the front baffle) and so on and I end with the top.

Just look at the design and you can get it.

[dvrmstrng]

but to do the back you gotta screw in through the bottom right?

[maldecido33]

i always do exactly what mountaineer man said; and you don't have to screw; i'd invest in some good clamps.

or, if you don't have clamps, do what i used to do. put the bottom board on a table with the back lip hanging over by a 3 inches or so. glue the back piece and set it where it's going. with the help of a friend/relative/whoever, screw it in. sit down and screw up, while your friend pushes down on the board and keeps it lined up. put a brick/weight on the front lip of the board, to help weight distribution.

[dvrmstrng]

well i started building but how high to i mount the port piece....at what inch mark...sorry stupid question but im stuck...let me know ASAP

[jeepintn]

the width of the port

[dvrmstrng]

so make the port as high as whatever the L x W comes out to be the square inches of port desired>

[jeepintn]

no, the "bottom" edge of the port in your design that i seen will be (W) high from the bottom of the box

[rpfuror]

how you build really depends on the design...

I did one similar HERE (http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=206387)

BTW, I would have gave you a 3d build sheet if I designed it, typically by request;)
