Let the box building begin...PICS

Had the blue panel been attached to the brown panel and the first pink panel right after the blue panel was attached to the bottom piece I can see the chambers acting as one... That is the whole arguement is it not?

you know what tommyk90 **** you. thats how much i care about what you have to say. the enclosure was designed and redesigned more times then i wanted, to to fit his vehicle and accoustics need. we sure went trough the sealed enclosure subject as well but he wouldn't take that. so i put all my efforts and found answers too all that seems like a fault and came up with this enclosure. there are no aspects that wherent overlooked on this enclosure before i handed this enclosure plan to him and even after that, we reworked the plan even more.

the enclosure will sound good. Perform because it was design properly, not because of pure coincidence.

Take a chill pill buddy, it's not the end of the world because you designed a less-than-stellar enclosure.

I'm hoping the box performs well too, because i'd hate to see what you come up with next. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

You want to act like a badass, that's fine with me. But be able to take some criticism on your designs because a good majority of us would know better to design a ridiculously complicated box like that.

We did make several enclosures, however we never discussed a sealed enclosure, but we were trying to utilize all the space needed for a ported enclosure. And i respect the fact that he went to the hassle of trying to make it perfect for me and being able to back hisself up after criticism. But right now i'm leaving to go make, i'll let yall see the pics tonight.

Okay, not once have I been negative towards you as a person, but you really need to relax. I will say with utmost arrogance and elitism that I have taken the most criticism of anyone on this entire forum. You need to be able to learn how to deal with it just like I have. The design IS flawed, you cannot have any idea as to how it'll perform, and while I admire your persistence, the fact that you don't even see what we're pointing out is quite concerning.

as a mater of fact i see what your saying perfectly about this design and i made a desition before i handed him the design before i called it done. i went trough great distance to make sure those kincks where not an issue, the design will work as designed.

it may sound like im pissed but im not. im actualy pretty laxed, just saying how i feel the same like everyone else is. i have been trough allot in life for me to get pissed at some online bullshit. so no im not pissed and i can take criticism.

but if you think the enclosure wont work, build it and prove it wrong.

We're not saying it WON'T work, because it just may, but what we ARE saying is that the box is overly complicated.

i just read this entire thread and as soon as i saw that enclosure pic i was waiting for a pic of the real box. thats the most over-complicated thing ive ever seen.

my suggestion would be (i know noone heres likes it, but it would be a well designed box) to get a quote from TTB. ive heard his boxes personally and they sound great and get loud as hell. efficiency is the game with TTB designs.

if you dont want to go that route, just fiberglass a sealed enclosure into the space you have.

Yes. We hope that it works, but the way that it's designed doesn't seem to be efficient, nor can it be predicted accurately.

That enclosure sucks, The Blue piece is one problem, the other problem is...That smooth air flow is key to a nice sounding and loud enclosure.

1-its a Labarynth port...Labaryth ports are horrid, because it makes a few too many 180 degree turns,

2-The blue piece

3- Where the two back pieces meet (Pink and salmon colored) and it creates that bottle neck causing things to get choked off.

Y'all have fun, I'ma head out real quick to get some etch-resist and ferric chloride. Good luck with the build bholt.

the enclosure is complicated. the enclosure is not the most effitient because of the port shape Labarynth ftl, space was a most defent issue as well as tuning. the enclosure was design to house the sub and get the most out of the space available. this had to be the most unatural enclosure i have designed and trust me i dont like the enclosure shape as much as you guys hate it. i was just working with what i had at hand and in my eyes i made the best of it and designed an enclosure that not only fitted in the space available for a big *** sub. but had to look over all those things you guys are mentioning. way before i saw the enclosure for last time and we called it done.

the fact is that i already looked up all those things that youre mentining while designing the enclosure and making sure that they wouldnt interfere with the subwoofer performance,

Just a suggestion: if this box does not work how you want it; redesign the box and maybe use round ports.. if you could fit them.

 

[Chevyaudio 5,000+ posts]

yep...aero ports would of been for the best.

 

[galacticmonkey 5,000+ posts]

or if you cant fit a proper ported... sealed isnt a sin.
