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.

Sound from the side panels IMO is usually bad bad bad...

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

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

Don't be so quick to, I am not 100% sure...

Actually, now that I think about it, it totally depends on the enclosure, I have just been in 1/4 wave mode lately //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
With regular sealed and ported enclosures which use compression, it's best to add foam to all the sides like noted above...

However, with transmission lines, horns, MLTL's, etc type enclosures, I believe it's best to NOT add foam on everything, since they work on the principle of standing waves inside the enclosures...If you kill everything inside the enclosure, it can effect the response negatively...

Sound good? So in the OP's case, line all the walls...

Uh, are we done here?

 

[the727kid 10+ year member]

A small update.. been pretty busy doing a few other builds for people. I got it together... haven't put the ports in yet just got anxious to see how it sounds.... so far pretty happy except for bass output... will put ports in morrow n hopefulyl start n finish the next tower. Definatley sounds badass on GHIII tho //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I may trash this box tho don't like how tall it is.

 

[BrianChia 10+ year member]

Looks nice. Do you think it's too tall or too short? By the way, Is that Pimp My Ride on the TV back there?

 

[the727kid 10+ year member]

Yea unfortanley lol, I was browsing through music channels to find some music to play on the speakers, and for some reason I left it on MTV2. I think it's a lil too tall for my likes, but if it sounds good once the ports are in I will build the other one just like it, I am only stayin in this house for another year so I could live with it.

 

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

Come on we all know the taller the box, the better it sounds. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Coming along nicely.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smokin.gif.f1dc8d2acb1809e863ebd6a47eaa0d45.gif

Depends on the type of enclosure....

But for the good majority, I'll agree with ya. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
