    Who is good with network troubleshooting?

    Oh also, in an unrelated problem, as of yesterday, I can no longer see my roomates' network. It just doesn't show up when I refresh the list. The router is about 10-12 feet from my computer. My other roomate who is a good 25 feet away is having no problems seeing the network.

    Nothing at the moment. I guess I should download spybot or something when I get home from work today.

    Who is good with network troubleshooting?

    (WinXP, linksys wireless network) Ok so my connection at home is acting up. I keep getting 1 second connection "pauses" every 30-45 seconds or so. I haven't timed it but it seems like a regular interval. Normally it's no big deal just surfing the web or whatever, but it's a huge PITA while...

    Awkward box shape + ported?

    Yeah I wasn't expecting perfect, just as close to an in-car-sealed-box version of "flat" with a ported box instead, if it's possible, which I've read it is. Thanks for the tip about the signal tab. That was definitely the missing factor. Now a few more questions: 1. Why is it that when I change...

    Awkward box shape + ported?

    Ok so i found the air velocity graph in WINISD. I'm getting max 34ft/s with a 2" diameter port that only needs to be 1.29" long. That's way under 110ft/s. This can't be right. It's almost like just poking a hole in the box, and I'm never seen anything like that. I'm starting to get really...

    Awkward box shape + ported?

    Ok, next question. Is it better to isolate 2 subs in a ported design, or should I have them in the same chamber?

    Volume's role in sealed enclosures?

    What would the difference be between an FI-Q 12" in a .8cuft sealed enclosure and the same sub in a 1.5cuft enclosure, all other things being equal? The recommended sealed volume is .8-1.5cuft. Here are the rest of specs if any of it matters: Fs: 28.4 Hz | 27.1 Hz Re: 0.7 Ohms/coil | 1.4...

    Awkward box shape + ported?

    ah ok then. So assuming you don't care about cost, do they offer the same or better tuning capability as a slot port? I'm still confused as to how you would select your exact tuning frequency with a pre-manufactured part. Also, where is a good place to buy them online? I'm having trouble...

    Awkward box shape + ported?

    Well I would think that if they had zero disadvantages over huge slot ports, nobody would use slot ports. Yet pretty much every box I see on these forums is a slot port. How do you go about tuning an aero port? Don't they come in pre-made sizes? Kinda seems like you are limited in your choices.

    Can you tell me more about aero ports? What are the disadvantages to them?

    Awkward box shape + ported?

    Ok thanks. Now a few questions on that. 1. I'm pretty sure the answer is NO, but do I include the port volume in the 1.8-2.5^3 recommended by FI? 2. What tuning frequency do I need to get as close as possible to the sound quality of a sealed enclosure? ("flat response" is what I'm talking...

    eDEAD = Peal n seal?

    what about dynamat and raamat? Are they the same thing?

    Awkward box shape + ported?

    Bump. I was thinking that I might be able to bring up the sub a bit to fit a port that would go down from the top of the box (to the right of the sub in the image) and then go under the sub. The part I'm really confused about is how big the port needs to be. I'm using WIN ISD to figure out the...
