Awesome box!

Thats very nice!

Is that center brace a motor support?

Maybe Im blind... but the ports seem to end at the rear wall. Where's the inner end of the ports? Also, what is the point of the trangular braces at the bottom directly behind the sub's motor?

Looks cool. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

those ports seem kinda small?

looks kinda cool but im thinking all those little circle holes might degrade the sound.

but im interested in how it will sound. Post a vid when you drop that beast in there.

Looks good. I'm thinking that the holes in the brace behind the motor kinda defete the purpose though? Wouldn't you want that solid to "deflect" the air towards the ports? With the holes there the airs just kinda wondering right??? Sorry for the questions.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Contrary to popular belief, the air inside the enclosure does fly from the back of the speaker into the port and out to open air. The air inside the enclosure gets pressurized because of the rapid movement of the cone. This pressure needs release and causes the air mass (a solid entity) to move out and then back in when the pressure suddenly decreases with the cone moving out.

So your trying to tell me that that speaker creates air pressure in that box thingy and that air needs somewhere to go?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

I was rather thinking the box would be better off with a different type of bracing.

Very nice work.

Looks good. A lot of HT guys use multiple window braces (brace under the speaker cut out) as they usually build VERY large enclosures compared to most car stuff.

I do wonder how the spaces on the outside of each port will react. Seems like it "might" cause problems at tuning when the air is trying to go out the ports.
