This enclosure I started pretty much because I couldnt sleep //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif and went to work on it. It will be 1.95 cubes after sub displacement (using a 12" Fi SSD as a reference displacement), tuned to 32Hz, and 33.75 sq inches of port (kerfed port)

Kerfed piece cut..

Back going on...

Screw between each clamp...

To get an idea of what it'll be like finished..

Side going on..

Screws on the bottom and screwed to the back as well..

I wish I has skills like this! Dad has an awesome table saw and router to boot! I should go and try it to make some extra dough. God knows I need it!

You know, when I cant sleep I usually grab a bite to eat, or get online, not start building another sexy enclosure lol.

Looking good as always. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Very nice build. Just one question though, what exactly does the kerf give you performance wise?

Looks...and very little chance of port noise //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
