The Big Nasty (adjustable volume enlcosure)

[CheЯRyMan]

This enclosure is made like no other the walls,ports,top,bottom, window bracing and 45's are 1.5" thick. The outer and inner walls are staggered so the seams overlap for a air tight fit. The box is configured so it has straight ports no bends for max efficiency. The sliding 4" thick wall can be adjusted to change the volume from 6 cubes to 8 cubes. The special grill is designed to give multiple hand holds so adjusting the wall wont bind. Once the sweet spot is found the wall can be locked down and sealed. The floor of the box will have graduation marks for referencing the different volumes and the frequency change. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ1j7DdPfMk&feature=youtu.be

Excellent work!

Maybe his depth settings are incorrect Ive been using pocket holes for years with great results instead of going into the end grain or profile of mdf where its weak it enters in the face where its strongest. Glue alone gets the job done but pocket holes pull everything down tight immediately until the glue sets allows you to keep working.

You see people cutting out cross members, doing trunk mods removing their back seat and spare tire, rattling their car to pieces for car audio. A box that weighs an extra 100lbs is a small price to pay.

it will if you hammer on it more than what is needed to pull it tight...think I see one in pic # 5 on the brace..will stand corrected if it is not...

Ermagerd, what are you doing? You can't say that about EMF

Drop in tests prove otherwise. Plus almost every competitor that tested them went away from the ermagerd almost instantly

Yeah, I was just being sarcastic. Those subs looked like crap anyways. There is a reason companies like that try to use a catchy name and marketing gimmick yet provide no real details about the product or the testing that went into it.
