New Box For My XXX **Pics**

Gonna have to chime in on bad box design, but only because you said you wanted to build another. I'm no expert, but you should do a little more research or have someone sketch something up, some guys on here live for that. I think in a good design, your port should add bracing or support for sub, not being punished by it such as in your design. Also, those port dimensions are definately not optimal, ratio should be closer to 1x8, and with such a large box can't you fit a straight port in there?
Build is okay though, but I think you will be much happier with a new dsign.

Honestly, this box sounds great to me. The lows are very intense and it sounds good with all frequencies. If people on here hadn't pointed this out, I would have never know something was messed up.

I think we're going to build another one in a couple of days.

Looks good Kev =) Just make sure you get limo tint cause if I saw that sticking out of someones trunk.... I'd be tempted.. and that's coming from an honest guy. And get that 12 awg speaker wire outta there. It's a power hungry beast that needs some bigger wire.

Yeah, I'll have 8 awg to the terminals eventually. I still have no idea how I'm going to fit that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Umm no.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

The 1:8 ratio is a general maximum ratio to guide by. Not a recomended requirement. His port dimensions are fine.

It's the driver/port placement that is questionable.

It sounds fine to the user, so rock with it man. Untill you can get around to testing a better box. Na harm.

Here are two examples of ported boxes....
First one...in this box the port divides the box in half...thus like nG said giving the air an "option" on where to travel. which isnt good.

Second box...in this box the air has only one path, that is to exit the box out of the port...

What program did you use to design those boxes?
