box build for rsxs1212

Thats way to much port for a single 12. I'm simply building it based on what DJ told the customer to build the box to.

Port area is based upon the box size, not the sub //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif You're not even at 12^2 per cube which is the smallest I'd ever go...

Well, everyone has this misconception that the larger the port is the more output you are going to have. Their are a lot more factors that control output.

As I have stated before this box was built to how DJ of Audio Que told the cutomer to build the box to for his sub.

I would tend to trust someone from AQ, but even so, it does seem a tad small I guess. Maybe I'm just stuck on my big box fetish //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif. 3 cubes with 50 sq. in of port area for 2 10" kicker comps. But whatever, it hits really hard so I'm happy with it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Oh well, enough trashing on Mike, I don't care if it sounds like shit... his box builds are works of art. It would make a lovely paperweight should it be phail. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

10sq.in. per cube is perfectly acceptable. With rounded port edges you shouldnt have any issues...Great box build.

How many more builds before you can afford a new camera? hahah....

Thank you sir, um I think it would be more usefull as a desk instead of a paper weight.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Once again, nice work!

That is a TON of screws to hold the baffles together! Is that overkill or necessary? I would think a healthy amount of wood glue and clamping would work just fine, no?

Well the only problem with just using wood glue is has less of than an 1/8" of bond in the wood. Being on the front baffle vibrations will casue the glue to break loose and make the two baffle slap each other. Thats why I use screws on the baffles

Oh ok. I suppose I should do the same for the box I'm working on for two 18" BTls then. Thanks for the input.

I would NEVER tell a customer to build a port with less then 14-16 SQ" per net cubic foot of box volume for one of our subs.

I just want to inform everyone that i recieved those numbers from a member that apparently thought he knew what he was talking about but obviously didnt. I should have contacted DJ or even just looked on Audioques website. In no way are the port dimensions audioques fault. Its my fault for believing a random person off the forums.

All we can do is hope that it sounds decent and if not mods will have to be done!!

Thanks

Thanks AMI!!

As said before, I personally would have opted for a bit more port area, but that port in no way will be bad so long as it is solid and has some rounded-over routered edges on the port exit. At least the box volume is good so you will have good cone control and a nice transient response. I don't think that port will hold you back to be honest. 30 sq. would've been better with around 40 being optimal, but it should perform just fine.
