6th order enclosure build log

[SlugButter]

Parallel tuned 6th order enclosure will house a Savard Hi-Q 10 inch sub. 1.5 cubes at 27 HZ and .6 cubes at 58 HZ. 3 inch aeroports with flares on both ends. Flares I will make myself. On the finish I am going to do a Nebula galaxy with an outer space background using acrylics. The port holes will hopefully look like black holes.

@Ridinhi Sighting!!

 

[SlugButter]

Left a lot of my tools at a house remodel in another state. Pulled out the old home made circle jig. I remember thinking that I should throw it away 10 years ago, but didn’t. Here she is, still ugly and useful.

Finished up the inside portion of the ports. They also will act as bracing The flare is flared from 3 inches to almost 6 inches. I wanted a big flare to help with port noise.

Installed the ports. The access door will be the open side. It will fasten to the sides of the port flare/bracing. Still have a little of the frame to put in

Looking good! What size round over bit do you use for your ports?

1 3/4 inch - 2 inch roundover. Usually I use 1 3/4 for 3 inch ports, but I went with the 2 inch on this one.

That’s the cut length. The cutting die is 3 1/2. Big sumbich

That’s what I use on the outside corners. 3/4 inch is perfect.

Finished with outer space and the black holes. Now on to adding color.

Those big ones are very expensive. Hard to justify owning one if you're not using it to make a living.

I think the cheapest one I have was 80$ on Amazon. Most of the routers bought from big box stores won’t accommodate the larger round over bits either. I modified the housing on one of mine so the router bit would fit. The router lasted a few months, but the centrifugal force applied with the large bit burned out the router quite fast.
