PICS of my 1st slot port box build

Ok, I understand now, so obviously each piece of wood or anything added ie bracing must be subtracted from final volume. I follow now

Looks to be well built, flush corners, even lines and seems, good wood working skills re definitely evident, just few rookie mistakes that you can fix with your next box. If you fix those mistakes you have the ability to make an excellent enclosure.

Correct just like subtracting for sub displacement as well.Anything added to those enternal demensions needs to be subtracted from the total volume.It shouldn't change your tuning to much since its only like .16ft3.Just keep this in mind for your next build and make sure the prots are consistant.

Thanx for the comments. Yes Im quite handy diy wise and will definately make the next box better. Im going to build the same one but instead of 22in deep, Ill be making it 18in deep and the height at 14.5in & will post pics when done tuned between 28-30hz

ok. So if I leave it as it is, would u say the tuning will be higher or lower

[audioarsonal 10+ year member]

what tool does this please

ok, thats not 2 bad, doesnt sound like it will be very noticeable, correct me if im wrong however

Shouldn't be.To 45 the corners you need a piece of wood about 4" wide, cut the edges on a 45 (both sides) and fit it into the corner.Kinda like crown molding but vertical.Kinda like this

Just remember this will take away from the internal volume as well.

ok, thanx, ill have to get some practice in doing this so will enquire into it

Not that hard really.Can be done with a circular saw but easiest with a table saw.If you build boxes alot I would invest in one.Consistant cuts and less time.

cool. I would like to see a pic of a box built with this to give me a better idea. I dont build boxes often but will start to and will be bilding some for my home entertainment set up with horns & bullets intergrated. These will be my from now to the end speaker boxes.

Im goning to do the cut out for the box above this w/kend as I want to hear what it will sound like. I have no idea about the different sounds between 28hz, 33hz, 40hz ec although I do understand that the lower the tuning the deeper the bass & the higher the tuning ie 40hz the more hard a bass it will be. I built this box at 28hz (well tryed to) as I like very deep low bass so I hope it doesn't disappoint me, i cant see why it would

28 hz tuning should be sick on hypnotize. my little sub with it's 30hz tuning is sick on hypnotize!
