You won't be able to find the specs, jl won't give it out.

It's not hard to tear it apart and figure it out.

If you know how to use a tape measure.

Just recently saw a pair of kicker squares in one of those on my local CL

I would guess it's pretty close to .75, that is what they specify for the 10w6's they put in them for ported.

He may be talkin about the 10w7

Yeah which sub is it for? I would guess it would be close to their recommended size for it.

Ya, you can tear it down. But who wants tear down a 300-400$ custom box, unless your gonna replicate it to sell. I've looked inside if mine and it's a intriqit design. It seems like a box within a box with a huge slotted port with braceings. I've called jl for specs and tuning and they told me it's a patented design and to set the sub-sonic to 30hz. I have a 12w7

Depends upon the condition its in too I suppose. I haven't seen any empty JL HO boxes for sale.

JL loves to keep secrets from us. But that doesn't stop a person from tearing apart a box if they choose to and figure out how they engineered the box. I've seen the cut away design on their website. Any smart person can figure out the ins and outs of the box/enclosure. It's not any secretive about how their box design is anymore than how any box designer does on this forum or any other.

The HO enclosure is just a vented/ported design....yep with bracing and a really long port. Just don't see any patents about the design of that.

It's more of a chamber coupled design, the ports empties into the woofer to increase output. I just built a tline version, pretty cool design.

And for those with deep pockets.

I'll stick with my so simple yet easily buildable ported enclosure.

Actually, I think I need to hear one in person. There's a JL dealer 7 miles from me.

I can't stand salespeople tho...wow their prices are thru the roof!!

It's like a sixth order band pass, except the second chamber is really small with a lot of port area

So that's what the front board is for.....guess I needed to study it and stare at it for awhile

sounds like a load of crap to make you pay twice as much for a box IMO but i could be wrong..

Not sure why people hate Jl so much, it costs money to engineer great products. Also not all dealers for JL are high, my local dealer sells authorized for ebay like prices

I have a lot of hobbies and theres always a company that people love to hate on. People mainly hate jl around here cause of the price, not cause they make shotty products. I haven't had a chance to put my w7 in other vented box beside the sealed box that I built for it. I can't imagine it can be any better than the HO box. Seriously, this thing is loud and musical. If I didn't get my w7 and HO for the price I did, I don't think I would have the chance to hear it.
