How much power will be on it? What kinda music? And comp or street setup?

also how much space do you have that you want to use?

 

[BUMPING150S 10+ year member]

you want something around 1.75 to 2.5 after speaker and port displacement. Tuned around 35Hz. Find the plans closest to those and ull be happy.

2 @ 35hz or 2.35 @ 33hz.

i want to make a box that wont take up much space also.

so either these two would be good?

would i need to add braces inside the box if i used one of those box designs? and would this sound better then a premade box? i plan to get the mdf tomorrow and start making it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

so i finished making the box but havent tried it yet. how long do u guys suppose it will take before the glue and liquid nail to dry? and is it ok to drill a small hole and run the wire through or it'll sound shitty this way and i should seal it back up?

tell me what u think about the box and if it looks done correctly //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

not bad.....looks like you used too many screws tho..........

Looks good, put a little silicone on the wire where you brought it out of the box to seal it up tight.

EDIT: that grill is ugly!!!!1

 

[sexyrex 10+ year member]

haha i got that grill from a old home speaker. i thought i would use it until i find a kicker one for a good deal
