Standard DVD's play at 480i/480p resolution and Blu-ray plays at 720p, 1080i or 1080p resolution. If you play a 1080 line Blu-ray disc on a 720p TV, the image will get downscaled to fit on screen, but the quality will still be much higher than a 480i/p DVD. If you enjoy good quality video then a...

Wouldn't that be ideal. If I were that rich I might as well just build a house for stereo audio and a separate house for HT. And maybe one to live in.

#1: Yes it will work just fine. #2: The effective length will extend past the port wall by approximately 1/2 the width of the port.

That size sounds fine. You can play with stuffing it and see what sounds best to you. Stuffing will create an effect of a slightly larger enclosure which will could possibly increase low end output.

looks good.

Those boxes might work for a Jensen or Volfenhag sub but the HDC3 is a nice sub and it deserves a high quality box--go with a custom built to AQ's specs with nice big port area and stay away from those crappy prefabs.

Not as nice as real bedliner but it can work. I would recommend priming and flat black base coat before applying. Also it is more expensive and troublesome than carpet, as it will take many cans and several coats to achieve a nice thick texture. I haven't tried to roll on version but I've heard...

Jasper Jig can use any size shank/cutting diameter. The measurements are calibrated for 1/4" but it's easy to add or subtract to convert different size bits. I use a 1/4" spiral upcut bit for cutting standard circles (the spiral is a little better than the standard fluted straight cut bit)...

Actually when it comes to blade and bits, in general the cheaper the worse. I would avoid those super cheap ebay router bit mega packs.

If the opening is small enough it will act like a crappy dual-chamber reflex box (unless tuned specifically and properly). Otherwise it will just act like a crappy bass reflex box. Here's an example of a DCR (dual chamber reflex) enclosure:

Yes, I know about PVC and flaring.

Did you build that from a stack of rings? I wonder if there might have been an easier way to make a 10" tube. Although it is pretty sick.

I don't think this is true... you'll get more net airspace from the same gross volume but only because separate chambers take up more volume. I think the notion just stems from the fact that when many people upgrade from a single sub to 2 subs, for example, they don't usually want to build a box...

The effective slot port length is found by intersecting it with 45 degree angle with enclosure wall. This is how you measure it, right down the middle:
