first box built, few questions to answer

[c0rrupted0ne 10+ year member]

just about to finish the box. i dont think im building another one ever, lol. as you can see the subwoofer is really close to the right, does that mean the port area on the left of it is wasted? also for the speaker wire, do you tape it to the wall? im afraid prolong period of taking air blast would loosen the connector or something. any feedbacks appreciated, thanks.

edit: how should i secure the box, L bracket?

whats that tuned to

 

[c0rrupted0ne 10+ year member]

i think 33hz

 

[WOT]

You "think" ???

No the woofer placement wont affect your port or the box tuning

As far as wires, tape them down if you want, they dont go anywhere, just make good solid connections

 

[c0rrupted0ne 10+ year member]

phew, good to know that. and im pretty sure its either 33hz or 35 hz lol

does the port look a little higher near where the magnent would sit than where the port opens? looks like a big funnel .... what are the box deminsions and what lengths of the port? whats going into it? Also what are you going to do to connect the sub to the amp? drill holes into the box or put a terminal into the box?

length: 41'', height: 14'', 13'' deep. and no the port piece is balanced. 12'' re se is going in to it. and yes im going to just drill holes and run wires through the hole lol. i dont know any other way. port piece is 30.5x 7.75

if what you said is true...(which ur port still is sealed..) then you would come out with a box tune of 40.** hz.. not 33 or 35. at 1.78 cubes.

how is my port sealed? i got the box from the free box plan, its 2cf @ 35 hz

here u go

however i messed up so i had to build the port up top instead of the front lol

once u put the last piece on were is the port suppose to shoot out at?

 

[lovindabass]

so does the port shoot up from the 14 or 13 inch side? because if its not the 14 inch side your tuning will be way off. Also someone please look at where the port is "sealed" or where there should be a cut out for the port. Now look at the end of the port inside the box. Tell me that it doesn't look like the end of the port looks like its 8 or 9 inches wide but the port opening looks to be like 3 or 4 inches wide... just my opinion and its what it looks like to me.

the last piece isnt covering the vent on the left, here is the finished box:

and yes, thank god the port is on the 14'' side, i just had to stick the port piece to the top instead of the front. the port is how it supposed to be from the original plan, it's just the mounting position of the sub changed.

i predict major fail

 

[lovindabass]

I put those deminsions into Re Box calc and its stated to be 2.293 cubes tuned at 29.66 htz......
