bad03ranger,

Your calling the shots and what you want is what you will get.

I'll have that other thing we discussed done tomorrow ( eh, it is tomorrow already ) later today.

ok i do like others input b/c i do not know much about this but like i said before if JL recomends something than more than likely its b/c it works best in that application if we can work out this port issue and i like the design we may have a go at it im assuming this is how you pay ur bills and not a side hobby so its kinda what will work best and be the best quality also will you be carpeting the box for the price u gave in ur PM if i get one from you

I need to know if and what is obstructing the top of the enclosure ( RED ) and at what depth the obstruction comes out over across the top??

Phil is a great builder and knows his stuff man. You still have to hear my subs in that box man you would like it.

this is the area that limits me from going above 11" but it sticks out 1.25"

this is the maximum TD at 3" above the offset of the rear cab wall

wow thats not a great pic the measurement is 2.5" at 14" from the bottom

not sure if i said this before but this is for a 2003 ford ranger

Son, I'm not contesting you or JL audio, and with that said, Mr. Cabinetry is one of the best on this site, but the fact of the matter is, I'm stating real world experience. RE doesn't say to give their SE 15 8 cubes tuned to 18hz, but it can make plaster fall off the ceiling while watching Cloverfield in the home theatre. No one is telling you what to do, just relaying experience that might help you in the end.

Phil - that is .35 net per sub, right?

Yeah, .35 cu.ft. net.

bad03ranger changed up the design alittle, but, his and my way of thinking about it sort of crossed over into we both were thinking the same thing and in the process allowed for the enclosure to gain more volume so I can do slot ports to give him alittle more port area than the 2" dia port area.

I'm working of the final revisions of the enclosure as we speak.

I will check back in around 11 got to watch Jens Pulver take the title from Uriah Faber

Just to update ya on the progress of the enclosure.

The slot port idea is proving to be a really PITA. However, I just had a brain f@rt as to a possible solution but, I won't be able to do anything about it for now till I can go out tomorrow and find what I'm looking for to put this to rest, if I find it at all.

I'll let ya know what I find out tomorrow.

If it won't work well Phil won't build it. He knows his ****.

AHAHAHAHAHAH......... I WIN!!!!!!!!

I finally figured the SOB PITA slot port out. After being out and about searching for what I would hope would solve all my ills for this design, I found NADA man, I was totally fr!ggin disgusted and quite annoyed with whole d@mn affair.

I resided myself to the fact that sometimes there's nothing that can be done to overcome a design issue when fighting against every inch of space to make it work, I was going to toss in the towel and give up, concede to defeat that I just couldn't do it.

OHHHHHH..... But I did, I took one more crack at this Biatch, turned it inside outside, twisted it this way and that way and then it just clicked.

Yeah, I know some " builder critic's " are going to say this and that and pick it apart, BUT, I don't give a sh!t because I really don't care what ya say. I beat my head against the wall for 15 hours just to solve this b!tch. if ya can improve on it, be my quest!!

Creative, I'll give you that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Nice man, nice. You should save this markup for other Ranger people. It seems like every week I see somebody trying to squeeze out reasonable space in a regular cab and this looks like a winning design for those not ignorant to 8's.
