Build a box for me $$

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.

 
I mean when all you eat is taco bell and roughage, I'd hope he'd know his shit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
OP and MC, sorry about the thread shitting. I'll leave now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
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!!

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.

I save every design I do for future reference. And given the amount of time I sweated over this design just to get the slot ports to work and fit, it's already on a backup drive.

The only thing I don't know is what model year ranger this is for??

 
wow looks like a winner to me is the price still the same you quoted me? were you able to squeeze out more port volume
The price increased on this to $ 175.00 plus shipping. For the amount of time I invested just in the design work alone, I gotta charge something.

Yes, the port is 1 x 5 = 5 sq.in. of port area. So with that size port given the dimensions of the enclosure I was able to increase the net volume to .507 cu.ft. and with the rms of that sub @ 250 watts, there will be no port noise.

Here's the deal though, in order to achieve those goals of the design, the entire enclosure will be built with 3/8" MDF and with the slot port as shown/designed, it is acting as bracing as well so there is no need to be concerned about the enclosure not being structurally sound.

If I didn't think it wouldn't hold up, I wouldn't of designed it as such.

Low,

I actually have 4 other enclosure's that would fit in that space behind the seats of a Ranger that are less in depth than what I designed here for 2 8w3v3 ported.

The reason Ranger owners don't know about them is because they were designed to fit behind the rear seat of the Chevy Avalanche, but they would be just as at home be the seat of Ranger Standard Cab.

The other reason folks won't like them is there designed for ED subwoofers.

ok the price is good and the ^ft is that per sub after displacement and if for some reason 3/8" does not hold up what kind of warranty do you have for ur boxes i understand using under normal every day use i know i cant stand on the box
