My HT Build :)

What are you powering the subs with? Plate amp?

I posted it earlier in the thread, but it was a Crown XLS amp, forget model number. And yes subs have their own chamber.

To any of the HT guys: I planned on building a little enclosure inside this for the mid, sealed.... would yield about .75cubic feet... any other better ways to go before I put that in?

Where I left off today:

Hopefully will have the smaller enclosure done tommorow and face on, gotta wait for my buddy with a router to get circles cut out.

Those don't look like closed back midranges, so that'd be about the only thing you can do.

Hmmm say whats on your mind.

So what does that foam do for you?

Helps absorb standing waves, cleans up the midrange...basically the same thing as a Deflex pad in a door, except you can fit deeper foam in a cabinet like that.

It will be interesting to see how all the different cells work out...

That is all that I am thinking...

I don't think it's a good idea to have foam on opposing sides of the cabinet, correct me if I am wrong Jim, you don't want to COMPLETELY kill everything that goes on inside the cabinet, though it could be different for sealed enclosures...

Usually you just do one side (example, the back and left panels) as to not over dampen it...

Do you think that those Deflex pads do anything?

This is why I am a newb lol.. I will take off the other side.

That was always my take on it.

That's not correct. There is nothing wrong with foam on all sides. It may not be necessary but in some instances it is better. You want all the sound to come from the driver and/or port, not the side panels.

I agree with Joe. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
