i highly doubt that bracing is going to help, i would use some 1" dowel rods or 3/4" all thread it would work much better

Looks good. I like the port in the middle actually //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I want to tune it to 30hz. That makes it too long to fit without turning. So, I was thinking about trying a 9.5"x9.5" square port that is 31" long, and having it along the bottom then curving upwards on the back wall to reach the 31" length. That will tune it to 30hz.

That also means the baffle will be connected at the top so it is once piece, don't know if that matters though. Seems like it might help stability a bit. Let me know if that will work ~Magick_Man~.

ok i will throw something together with the different port.

The hole through the back seats is about 12.5" by 35".

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif that complicates things a bit...

i think we might have to make either the top or back removable.

and mount the subs from the inside of the box, to be able to install them after the box is built.

i guess we will have to figure something out about that when you get here.

Oh yeah, the mag displaces .15.

they say .25 on their site..

The subs should be able to fit through there sideways, and there is enough clearance behind that hole to then right the subs and fit them into the baffle from the front like normal. If the sub mounting was your concern, it should be ok I think. I'll do some more measuring tomorrow to double check.

Electrodynamic just said .15 for the 15" on the forum, so I'll go with that.

What is 3/4" all thread? And could you suggest a layout of those that you think would work better?

I'm not going to undermine ~Magick_Man~'s design, he is in charge, but I would like to hear what you think. Maybe he will think it is a good idea too.

Thanks for the input //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

well i laid out a 9.5 x 9.5 port 31" long and i am not sure if it will work in the center of the box.

it comes within 1.25" of the inside top of the box.

for a long port i think it will have to be off to one side.

i am messing around with a 15.5 x 6.5 port on one of the ends, tuned to 30.

this ends up at about 7.16 after displacement so there is plenty of room to add bracing.

and i think we might just go with dowels like lilmaniac suggested.

so what do you think of this?

~Magick_Man~

 

[Buffalohed 10+ year member]

Yeah I thought that might be the case //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

6.5x15.5 has to be 34" long right? Anyway, I think we can actually make the box 42" wide and 28" deep, giving us a little extra space. I know I keep changing that but apparently I **** at measuring. We will figure it out.

 

[Buffalohed 10+ year member]

so what do you think of this?
~Magick_Man~

I think it's beautiful.

I'm gonna want the port on the drivers side, so the subs sit towards the right of the car. Mostly for weight issues because the battery (60lbs) is already on the drivers side (along with my heavy ***).

i got just over 34"and i am not sure if we will need the extra space.

i guess we will make a final decision on the size when you get here.

not a problem, just flip the box over. viola, port on the other side //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Please do!

Man, I'm really excited about this //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Im not following why the original idea for bracing wouldn't work. Baffle boards tend to work better for bracing than do dowel or all-thread rods, because they brace the wall all along its length, not just radially out from a rod's mounting point. I also liked how the original brace idea could incoporate in a motor sling.

T-6 hours until build starts.

which kind of sucks since i just got off work.
