No speaker Specs, how do you determine enclosure requirements?

Shirt looks good, glad it went to a good home.

As for the enclosure, I would think something around .3-.6 net should be just fine. Just tune real low for hone theater applications.

It went to a very good home, it's the first new shirt I have had in years. I am more thankful than you could imagine!

And a question, does the larger box (in a sealed application) mean the tuning goes lower? Is there a difference in the sound waves having to travel longer distances as opposed to using polyfil where the waves are slowed down?

If it came out of a small HT sub it was probably in a ported enclosure, you don't see many of them sealed. Not that you can't run it sealed.

When i get a chance I am gonna ask if it was in a ported enclosure and if he remembers the length of the port when he tore the enclosure apart. I am still thinking I will go with a sealed enclosure though. It'd be a lot less guessing

Just found out the old enclosure was ported, .66 cubic ft with a 2 inch aeroport 3"-4" inches long. This means the tuning was around 50 Hz. The speakers response is between 40-150 HZ. I think I am gonna try a sealed enclosure around .45 cubes.

Any other suggestions would be awesome!!

The woods cheap, and I have plenty of time, design one out and I will build that Bitch!!! Just as long as it is actually feasible, and not like 10ftX10ft,lol
