I know how to make a box, just finding space and using the box i have available and making the air flow right is what i was stumped by. Thats why i had someone design it for me. In all other boxes i did it myself.

Wow. I can't believe we got our hopes up for getting a 15 Q in there. I hope someone can help you with a design that will fit.

Very unfortunate.

Matt, it sounds like your quote by lil_kb is very similar to the outlook on my box.

wow this is just too funny. even though the enclosure may look like is out of the ordinary because it has a port that goes down in to the well of the vehicle and fires up next to the sub. it is not that strange of enclosure and allot of thought was put into the design of this particular enclosure to ensure my self that this enclosure was not going to be a failure like some of you have stated.

the only thing i had 2nd thoughts about while designing this enclosure, was the fact that the port was very wider then i would want it to be and didnt follow the conventional rules of thumb. but after lots of thought and looking into other designs and design criteria and different aspects of enclosure designing, i came to the conclusion that for this enclosure to be port noise free and for it to not be a restrictive element on this enclosure and still tune the enclosure properly it had to be this way and that for it being used in this manner the port will work and that the space available for the system in combination with the port was used with out sacrificing the eficiency and performance of the sub woofer.

if you feel the enclosure is going to sound like *** please explain why, and how you came up with this conclusion, i would really like to know how you figured that it would be and if you could talk to me and describe your point of view in further detail would be greatly appreciated.

there where allot of hours placed behind the design process of this enclosure, this wasn't something that i just put together to get $20 out of bholtmeier pocket, sure $20 may be more then most people are trying to fork out for an enclosure design, but when you put as many hours into a design to make sure it worked like i do, then you would too, charge this much and not $4 like some one had stated previously.

for those who dont know me, im not just a designer, im a very active enclosure builder that does this as a part time thing and do it well. my enclosures are sold mostly local and a few online when ever the local scene gets slow. so if you're wondering this is nether my first enclosure, if you look on my signature you'll find that i have a good amount of enclosures on there and you'll notice that only two of them enclosures are for my own personal vehicle. those are the ones for the pontiac fiero and a honda prolude, i have done way more enclosures then what i have ilustrated on that car domain page and put file, but i only started taking picture of my builds when i bought my first digital camera to show an online customer the progress of his enclosure, and i still forget to take pictures of some of the local builds because i get to into the build and just forget.

either way, i consider my self to be a very professional person to deal with. im not the most knowledgeable person on this forum and i dont pretend to be. but i hold my own have lots of years of experience have worked back to back with lisenced professionals and my knowledge on the enclosure design and build is very extent and i will continue to increase that knowledge as i continue to educate my self on this aspect on a day to day basis.

if you have any questions feel free to ask im here to help any one that needs a hand. for free. lol.

im on aim after 3:30pm central time. so hit me up on aim if you would like to that way.

thats reDONKalous.

What part? I'm not going to say anything other than i'm going to make this enclosure. It's going to be nice, and if it sounds good, then maybe you guys were wrong. If it sounds like ***, well.....

Pv audio didn't seem to know what the light blue piece was for. I wonder what it would do if we took that out. Lol

 

[slikrider20 10+ year member]

This box makes baby jesus cry.
Please, for the love of god, burn that box and lets never speak of it again.

I am actually pissed that you paid somebody for that design.

And your just mad because i'm not putting a type R in it

Just goin to make it before i accuse it of being a shitty design.

light blue piece= the begining of the port.

the W T F part the lilmaniac2 is pointing at is just part of the main chamber part of the air volume that the subwoofer sees.

sounding bad, and being a poorly designed box are sometimes 2 different things.

I kinda realized that. But PV audio asked what it was so i figured it wasn't as obvious of a quesiton.
