Anyone want to design a box for me?

[Powers 10+ year member]

Basically the same look/shape of the JL loaded ported box:

Their loaded box is 34w x 20.5d x 17h and houses a 12W7. I need basically this box for a 13W7.

Needs to keep the slanted back, and I like the look, so something similar would be awesome. I figure I can make it for less than $400, or even pay someone on here to build it for less than that.

I have up to 43w x 20d (bottom depth) x 17h to work with, and according to JL Audio, I need 2.375 cu. ft. tuned to 30hz for the 13W7 (Instead of the 12W7 that the loaded box comes with) I want to shove in there. I want to use at least 3/4" MDF unless I can find 1" somewhere.

Anyone up for it? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I dont know about JL whatsoever but I thought they were the same thing? 12/13w7?

why do you think you need a W7 type speaker ?

No. They have an 8, a 10, a 12, and a 13.5 (but called a 13).

I don't need anything.

I understand it's overkill. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'm really not liking the thought of blowing $1100 on a loaded 12W7 box, but, JL isn't cheap. So, hopefully someone will come out of the woodwork on this little project.

I honestly don't know what an aeroport is, but i'd like to see it similar to the JL box, which is slot ported, and seems to be the most effective setup for this sub.

thats an extremely impractical port design...........

i don't think i want to try and mess around with that kind of port. i'll do a simple slot port if you'd like

I don't know much about box design, but wouldn't JL Audio know what's best for their sub? Why else would they use the port they used?

because it looks cool and appeals to mass markets...

why do you think audioblah is still in business

I wouldn't think that an $1100 loaded sub box is a commonly-sold item.

And good point about Audiobahn. There is really nothing good about them.

well the 13w7 itself is what, $900 authorized? another 200 for the box is not that outrageous..

just simplifies the whole sub box thing for people who want convenience.
