Box seems a little small, but hopefully it turns out good for you.

I figured. I was just wondering why you put wood glue AND liquid nails haha.

Hopefully! I used the exact specs from the design on ssa.com

Alright I need some help with the design.

Since I have no way of cutting 45 degree angles, I need to make the port angles 90 degrees while keeping the same tune.

Anyone have an idea on how long to make each port piece?

Got an email this morning that my subs were shipped on the 24th, and should be here on tuesday!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/celebrate.gif.82eef51c49c9919296cb60fd0d148863.gif

you need to redefine those designs lol. you should never have to cut anything more precise than 1/8"

haha i just added/subtracted 1/64 to some of them and reduced it down to 8ths. Don't know why they give so precise specs.

Yeah it's looking good. For your design concerns if you ditch the 45's and just extend that inner corner (so all the angles are 90) it probably won't affect tuning very much. The only thing I can think of is it will make your port length a tad bit longer which would lower the tuning a bit but again, I doubt it will be an audible difference.

geez calm down on the glue lol. when the glue does leak out like that though instead of letting it dry like that you should run your finger across the seam and spread it out a bit

Why? If he's got that much glue in the joint I don't think he needs to worry about it sealing...And it's not that difficult to take that stuff off after it dries, especially with a belt sander on hand...

Yep I definately didn't want any air leaks. And its better to have too much glue than not enough.

Ok thanks for the input!

Yeah, it's pretty rough trying to get more accurate than 1/8" without using a CNC machine. I normally only have 1/4" measurements in my designs, and only because you have 3/4" MDF being used. Overall dimensions are almost always in full inches...no reason to have a depth of 19-57/64". //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

lol, my dad is always annoyed because I draw my enclosures in AutoCAD and leave the dimension precision at like 3 decimal places...so he asks for the dimension and I give him something like 13.412" or even if it's a whole number it will say 13.000". I just don't like to round so I always leave my dimensions as precise as possible and round them when I'm ready to make the cut.
