Looks good but that seems like it is gonna be very hard to get the right tuning out of that thing. Maybe you could try just puttin in that front baffle that you are using as part of the port and just using aeroports in it. Then you can adjust it however you need to and I think it would make things a hell of a lot easier for you.

Just something to think about

Even if it is off, I tried some different scenarios in win isd/bbp6 and the tuning only changes a few hz.

But how can you get an accurate measurement of the volume?

what do you mean?

Of the enclosure, I just dont really understand how you can accurately measure how big it is to even determine tuning.

I could try filling it with packing peanuts...but instead I took several measurements, cut out simple shapes that I can mathmatically calculate the volume, and pieced it together.

After I got the max volume, I designed a port to take a certain amount of airspace away, calculated the loss of airspace from the sub and bracing and other design features, and trail and error, designed the port. If I need to change it after I finish the speaker baffle, I'll have a 18" hole to reach through and extend the port as needed.

Oh alright, I just wanted to make sure you were gettin a pretty accurate measurment of the gross volume, I didnt want you to do all this then have it end up being way off in tuning because you didnt get the right volume. As long as you calculated it out then your fine.

Added more 13 oz glass to the corners for some extra strength...

o yea, im also diggin your backround too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Lol naw, it's an excessive amperage keychain, which is just as good if not better. Also has a small knife and scissors. Got them the same day in the mail. Was pretty sweet.

I would just have used the manufacturer's specs for trunk volume since it takes up almost all of the trunk and subtract a bit for the clearance between the trunk lid and the top of the box.
