Alright, here's what I designed according to the thread/pm you sent me.

Here's the box unfinished but with walls and ports installed. So you can get an idea of the port structure

Here's the box completed with X-Ray walls on and the dimensions. I'll explain all dimensions at end of post.

Finally, here's the finished product with a simulated carpet/wood texture and little Fi logo that is raised to give it some "pizazz" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Alright, here's the exact spec's of the box.

The box is built for two fully loaded 15" Fi BTL's

Double top baffle for flush mounting the woofers.

3/4" MDF construction

--Dimensions (External)

Width: 39"

Height: 20"

Depth: 32"

Port: 4" x 37 1/2" for a total of 150 sq. in of port area (no port noise //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif)

Tuning: 32.6Hz (I know you said you wanted 34Hz but keep reading and I'll explain)

Fi Recommends 3-5 cubic feet per sub in a ported enclosure.

Net Volume (with port subtracted) 8.62 cubic feet. Each 15" BTL takes up 0.21 cu. ft... so with both BTL's loaded into the enclosure, the total volume will be 8.2 cubic feet. With the subs loaded, the tuning becomes 33.4Hz.

I still tuned just slightly lower and over 8 cubic feet, and that is because this does not factor in any internal bracing. And since you are using a fairly large enclosure with high power, high SPL subs, adding dowels or some kind of bracing is highly recommended. This way, once the bracing is added, the total volume should be very close to 8 cubic feet total (4 per sub, right in between Fi's recommended 3-5 cu. ft) and the tuning should be 34Hz on the money.

I need some sleep, I've gotten so many box design requests in the past week, I've been stayin up too late doodling on google sketchup lol.

Good luck with the box build Exxdine, and pls take vids //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
