a 1 cube foot sealed enclosure is a 1 foot cube sealed enclosure. make sure it's sealed. don't know what you are asking?

...

just make sure to leave some room behind the magnet so some air can flow around it to cool off the unit, but from the sounds of it you want to make the box as deep as possible.. which won't really change the way it sounds.

like to get the best out of a 1 ft sealed enclosure should i make the box.... longer and taller for beter spl or should i make the box short on length and heigth and have the box go back deeper??? for spl

If SPL is your main concern (as it seems it is), I would have kept the 57Hz enclosure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Why not just plug to port on the 1.25 cuft enclosure and use it as sealed?

doesn't make a difference. just make sure it doesn't leak.

cause if i take up that much room id rather it be ported. but since i already screwed up. i just want something smaller

 

[Big-Cat 10+ year member]

haha, you're gonna drive the poor man mad

bad moderator!

and it doesn't matter the shape of a sealed enclosure really, just try to avoid a cube (something 12"x12"x12")

make sure every edge is sealed up nice though

1. straight cuts

2. WOOD glue/titebond; not gorilla glue or liquid nails

3. 1.5" course thread drywall screws every 5inches second

4. run a bead of caulk along the each inside edge.

5. cover if you want

6. listen

yeha i have experiencecutting and all im just thinking what kind of shape of the box im going to make. i know it has to be perfect as well but if the shape doesnt matter then im probably goin too do like 13''x13''x13

That's a myth. Shape is completely irrelevant for subbass.
