hypnotize by young jeezy will just shine with your setup.

well...ya,..its supposed to be the same width all the way back. i think if u had put the second port piece on at the end of the first instead of on the side of the first..id have been the same width

is yer the new word for yes?

and you said

What do ya reckon,

yay or nay

32 w X 16.5 h X 22 Deep for a single 15 or 2 x 12s

TUNED TO 28hz

so there u didnt know what was going in it, so you should always build a box around a sub, not build the boxes thend ecide on subs

ok, is there a disadvantage of using so many screws? Ill bear this in mind for my next build

Yes, because when you use a screw in a panel, it creates a weak point. When you have too many, you risk splitting down the wood since the weak points are so close together.

Was merely asking if 2 x 12s would also sound good in it

Well, that would depend on the drivers.

Yes and no. Basically it is the glue that holds the structure together. You only need enough screws to apply pressure. Yours looks fine though.

To break it all down, I'd say your ability to build a decent enclosure is definitely there, but by reading some responss you have made, you need to learn more about designing a good enclosure.

Take care.

Not bad couple n00b mistakes but not bad.

Will this affect the tuning in anyway. If I try to take it apart, that might be a pain because the glue has set now

 

[audioarsonal 10+ year member]

yes it will affect tuning.try adding a piece of wood sandwiched to the other to make up for the distance.All this will effect enternal volume so you will need to compensate.

 

[riddla 10+ year member]

Ok, Ill add another piece the same size behind it thanx

When u say need to compensate, what do u mean please

 

[audioarsonal 10+ year member]

you have to subtract the volume of space that the piece of wood has taken up from the total volume.This in turn will change your tuning.
