[QUOTE="Mr Cabinetry, post: 4512262, member: 571490"] I made the comment given the context of the statement you made. Yeah, the enclosure in terms of volume is on the small side, but well within an " acceptable " tolerance given the limitations of the enclosure design and that's all there is to be had based on what the customer has got for it. At the most and if I put my mind to it, I could most likely eek out of the design .65 cu.ft. gross volume, but, I would have to make up for the design structure with bracing to minimize any unwanted resonance, thus, I would be right back to the issue of fighting for volume. However and this is not a stretch in the slightest bit, I could build the entire enclosure with 1/4" MDF to get the volume and porting needed and all I would need to do to keep the structure of the enclosure intact is to have it shot with a coat or two with Duraliner, then it would be both lightweight and d@mn near bulletproof, but would cost a sh!t of money for little benefit in bass response and performance. Now, in my real life experience when it comes to subwoofers and enclosure design is never underestimate just because it " seems " inadequate to the task just because it appears as such. He!!, I got enclosure for 4 6w0's ported to hit 137 dB's at 38hz on a meter in only .17 cu.ft. net per sub and with only 200 watts, though that may not be impressive to bassheads, it was impressive enough that I sold over 200 enclosures in various design configurations over a 5 year period.
