Box Build for Piston: ~10 cubes NET

[Omarvelous 10+ year member]

The top set of 4 subs has one port and the lower set has one port with dividers in the middle

hmmm.. i would assume that the dividers would practically split them into separate ports meaning the port length should change...
but then again, i don't know much about enclosure designing. i'm just curious.

it's really 6 ports...

3 top, 3 bottom.

PowerNaudio did the design, Im sure he took everything into account. Those pieces are actually just braces, they dont split the ports into extra ports persay.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments, I appreciate that. Like I told Garrett when he came to pick it up, This was want of the most fun builds I have done. And watching it go from design to the actual build was pretty cool.

I believe he has his eyes on a pair of zx1500.1 kicker amps. Not 100% sure though.

Yep yep, they should be here in the morning //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Once they're here I'll throw my Audiobahn A2300HCT up for sale.

Little update on todays progress. The Subs are due in Wednesday of this week.

Started today with primer/painting the port area

Now comes the tedious part.... building templates for the filler panels. This is the part that took the longest but when a little extra time is taken here it sure pays off!

And finally some carpet work. The port area will be cleaned up later, I've got some stained oak trim that will surround the port area's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

They use it to torture people, tie them up with the seatbelts and blast test tones at them
