Enclosure Question's

[jesterjames 10+ year member]

I have 2 10in RF p1's and a kicker zx400.1 amp, i listen to a wide varity of music but mostly hip hop, RF recommends .59cu.ft per sub for a sealed enclosure and 1.4cu.ft per sub for a ported enclosure.

I can get a Sealed Bass Slammer enclosure for $60 with .75cu/ft per chamber but other than that everything is $100+.

So should i buy the bass slammer enclosure or should i build my own?

build your own

ok so if i were to build my own, do i need to account for the space the the back of the sub takes up in my cu.ft calculations?

5/8mdf or 3/4mdf?

Ported or sealed?

ported, if you are a decent wood worker. or at least have some ability.

sloted port, or the oldskool plastic ports?

get a box design from the sticky in the enclosure section. very easy to build from the plans.
