Well I just went ahead with a 1.25'' dowel.  Nice tight fit.  Initially, I was confused about how to attach it to the port wall, considering the exterior back-panel blocks screwing-access from the outside (ideally you'd install the dowel before the back panel).  Didn't take long to figure out...

Good idea.. I may end up doing that for the sake of simplicity.  I would like to do a double baffle- flush mount, but my jigsaw is a POS harbor frieght with no blade guide/roller wheel, and at this point I'm trying to keep things looking good.  If I were to double baffle I would double towards...

Update.. First enclosure is going pretty alright.  I actually i'm pretty damn happy with it.  Bought four clamps, as advised, used them all.  Used a few more screws than I think you vets would have.  Everything sits flush on the base; for the lid a couple things are off a heavy-32nd, so will...

Copy.  1 5/8 is what I was thinking, thanks for the confirmation.

So I said before that I could handle building the enclosure (my framing experience and tree work skills led me to believe this, 0 finish carpentry experience!), but after a failed attempt today and wasting more material than I can afford, I could certainly benefit from some advice on the...

Wasn't necessarily a bad shot at humor.  I'm not very witty myself when it comes to understanding or making jokes.  @THATpurpleKUSH I'd like to get the sundown sub, but the extra 40 bucks is more than I can afford now with so much time off work (the wrong sub box ate that up).  I'm pretty stoked...

I don't get it.  So, maybe.  What's the implication?

Hello all, I have returned here to A) vent a little bit  B) Showcase the absurdity in my car audio purchases thus far, especially the latest:  Soundqubed with a big (and surprising) fail. 1)  Bought a BOSS amp, discovered it only puts out less than half of stated RMS, returned after being...

Yeah, so I learned to consult this forum before I hit the 'confirm order' button.. :banghead: pS just found this cut sheet generator tool, figure those who are not in the know should know! http://workshop-buddy.com/cut-optimization-calculator.html xj49er, I totally hi-jacked your thread...

Great idea, and so simple..thank you!  With $55 down the drain on the last box, and no income for another month (injury), the most reasonable choice is to wait, buy a $30 sheet of 3/4 birch and build the box.  That's the plan.

I have a good amount of experience, would say my skills are up to par.  but my shoulder is broken/seperated.. so that's why iv'e been looking for a prefab between 1.25-1.5 cubes @ 34-36hz.  I just failed to understand that you must separate port volume from the open space behind the sub : [...

And yeah, if what your measuring is the open square behind the sub(?), then I'd agree it looks small. Well shit another thing I didn't know that I needed to know. So...  How might it sound compared to what you'd expect from that sub in a 1.5- 34hz enclosure?

well faaack.  what's a guy to do.  I tried researching the shit out of everything.  called everyone I made purchases from to verify specs, learn about unlisted specs.  why is car audio industry so damn sloppy?   I never once bought a 22'' bike frame to unbox it and find that it's actually an 18''.

I just got this amp for my soundqubed hds2-10'' dual 4ohm:   $100  https://soundqubed.com/product/s1-850/ Apparently, it will dyno as the specs read, given it has 14.4v.  Dual 4 ohm wired in parallel (2ohm)> 625rms. Ported box @ 1.5 cubes,  tuned @ 34hz. (Not easy to find a prefab with...

RE boss amp, non-refundable said shop owner: Went back to the shop with the amp, with the understanding I'd receive store credit; walked through the front door and right away the cashier said "put it back on the same card?".  Lol (laughing in my head, rather), "yes that'll be fine". ...
