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
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.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.
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.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
Low,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.
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 boxThe price increased on this to $ 175.00 plus shipping.

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.

My warranty is I stand behind what I build to the degree the integrity of enclosure is structurally sound to withstand usage under normal conditions the enclosure is design for given the subwoofer being used in it.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
that sounds good to me. So as u stand now on this design this would be the finished product right? and also I do not need terminal cups on this enclosure. also with this port design what does that make the box tuned atMy warranty is I stand behind what I build to the degree the integrity of enclosure is structurally sound to withstand usage under normal conditions the enclosure is design for given the subwoofer being used in it.
If for any reason the construction of the enclosure fails to due inadequate fabrication, I will either replace the enclosure or refund the costs under condition of the enclosure has to be shipped back to me for visual inspection to determine if failure was caused by my hand or caused in some other manner and picture document the cause of said " failure ".
I will not merely take someones word that the enclosure failed and they want there money back without me see for myself what the problem is as to if I am at fault or not.
I will not stand behind what I just stated if the enclosure is damaged in shipping, that's why pay for insurance for every enclosure I ship to protect both me and the customer.
Thankfully, I can say that to date, I have never had a customer contact me due to an enclosure behind delivered in a damage state. I ship my enclosure's in double wall corrugated cardboard boxes I make myself from sheet stock cardboard and open cell foam blocking for the packing material.
But, I can assure you that when I build an enclosure, it will not come apart, at least not on it's own, I haven't had one fail yet out of the thousands I've built since 1995.
As it stand now, that design is the finished product, unless you wish to change it.that sounds good to me. So as u stand now on this design this would be the finished product right? and also I do not need terminal cups on this enclosure. also with this port design what does that make the box tuned at
Well, I get it my distributor over in Jersey. I would say that most lumber yards within your area are buying from one local distributor that handles a board regional area.3/8" MDF exists? That **** would be PRIME for some home audio enclosures. Even .5" MDF chokes off small 2-3" drivers. Where could I gemme summadat?
i may need to change the cut out for the fan but every thing else is just like i wantAs it stand now, that design is the finished product, unless you wish to change it.
That port is tuned to what you wanted - 35 hz.
His enclosure had to be trashed and is in the process of a new enclosure being built.How is this coming along?
OUCH.His enclosure had to be trashed and is in the process of a new enclosure being built.
The reason for the enclosure being tossed is due in part that the wood glue I presently use ( I buy in 5 gallon pale ) is defective. The manufacturer of the glue had a bad batch run and was recalled after numerous other customers complained that the " bond " of the glue had " weak bond joints ".
And for the record and to squash any rumors.
This wood glue is not a retail available, it is only sold for commercial use: meaning it is not sold in HD, Lowes or any other store that sells wood glues.
I buy my glue thru my distributor where I buy my materials and this is my first time using this product and unfortunately this enclosure was first with this glue and thats why I trashed it and now I use only TITEBOND WOODWORKERS GLUE.
There still will be picks of the build for this enclosure.OUCH.
Man, I was looking forward to pictures of this. And the manufacturer's error means less profit for you on affected boxes you've built //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif
I only changed because I could no longer find ProBond Woodworkers Glue where I was able to buy it, but I called Elmers and they told me Ace & Tru Value Retailers are still selling it, I just have to call around to find what store locations near me may or may not stock it.i dont like changing brands for that very reason
thats what i said but hey sh!t happens its cool thoughOUCH.
