Not suggesting, just making a general inquiry as to what tools you have disposal to cut and complete the project. Most definitely have the candy store of tools to get the job done and complete it with cabinet maker precision and as long as you have the skills to use them as such, the end...

What kind of tools do you have access to for this project??

Yes it would because your using the sides to determine your angles and part widths. And the manner you design drafted it is correct as well, this way when you start assembly you attach the bottom first, then the back. Next, cut your rough widths for the top, slant front and bottom front...

The port does take into account the xmax, cone to excursion displacement and power = vent mach. Now, way back when the arguments, debates and discussions were going on about vent mach, port velocity, laminar flow and all that good goofy business was " what is the acceptable ratio of air...

OK, he has four angles to cut and if there not cut square and parallel to the other edges of the other angles he has to cut and then try to hold the angles together while trying to nail or screw them without them moving as he does this and when he does go to put the ends on like you say, they...

If you don't change any other part of the design and make the port longer - tuning goes lower and you decrease volume.

Cut the sides so they don't cap off the ends like you have it shown. Cut the sides so they can be used to accurately cut the width and angles that all the parts fit together properly.

How do you determine port area for given design? Do you base it solely on the accepted " standard set of 12 to 16 sq.in. per cu.ft.? " If that were the case here, than the port area should be 6 sq.in. minimum - 8 sq.in. maximum. Or do you base the port area given max wattage applied to...

Yes, true, there is more to design than " making something fit ", however, your basing your opinion on what you " think " and not on " what ya know ". Just because a design " doesn't look right " does not mean it's not going to perform and function as it should. The only opinion that matter's...

Wayne, IMO, this box should sound good for the subs, the port is " alittle " on the "wack" side of design given for how it had to be to fit for the tuning you wanted. Personally speaking, in the manner in which air moves or should I say is " excited " by the excursion of the subwoofer is a non...

Wayne, After subwoofer and port displacement, the net volume is EXACTLY . 51 cu.ft. Listen, I'm not going to get into a pizzin contest with what who says " will or will not sound good " given their basing that opinion " solely " on the design. Wayne, you'll be the judge and only you, once the...

Patience, lots of patience.

I'll wait till the verdict comes in from the jury.

I only changed because I could no longer find ProBond Woodworkers Glue where I was able to buy it, but I called Elmers and they told me Ace & Tru Value Retailers are still selling it, I just have to call around to find what store locations near me may or may not stock it. I'm not a big fan...
