stop hatin on the pool boy... it was only his 4th box, and was just trying to make it work... let him turn his box into MDF confetti and then maybe he will understand why we were all laughing at him

I think the main reason so many people give him a hard time.... is because several people, myself included, were trying to help him out. He said we didnt know what we were doing, etc. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

i like the design. the double layer on the curved corner is going to be a pain to do.

In theory, it really shouldnt be too hard... It will basically be like making the port actually 1.5" wider...

Only one way to find out how hard it will be... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

well since im just designing it and not building it, the final decision is BJ's... but if i was going to do it myself (hard to do in Iraq) i would just make the boards for the bend intensionally too long, make sure all the bends are the same, glue the boards together, and THEN cut them to the right length, cause it would be a ***** to try and calculate/guess home much lenght the curve takes up when double layered

and by the way... as far as boxes go. BJfish11 is OUT OF HIS MIND. I was an installer for 3 years, and if i was to build this box for someone, it would have been an easy 400 bucks. maybe it was just my area, but my box quality was maybe 70% of his at best, and to get the box for what he is charging. He will forever be the man i recommend. Fisher YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

Nice lookin design, but why not flare the inside of the port too?

arch length= radius * theta (in radians). it is pretty accurate, the only problem is the curve is not a perfect circular edge.

this system is going in my daily driver... it might see a local show 2 or 3 times a year... this is a because i can install. as loud as it is going to be i really dont think the "possible" port coloration INSIDE the box is really going to matter at levels upwards of 154dB's. It will sound **** good as low levels due to enclosure design and a pair of **** nice subs, but at low levels woofer movement will be at a minimum which inturn, will make vent velocity (the thing that causes port noise) negligible... and when i turn it up it will be so **** loud you wont hear any port noise anyway... you wont really be able to hear anything but WANGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!

Shouldnt be any flex to this box..... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I wouldn't expect any //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Haha yeah. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Nice build. I remember seeing that thread a few months ago I believe.

I was just wondering why the designer didn't flare the inside of this box as well to reduce turbulence. The inside port opening should flare and the area where the two ports meet should have some sort of V-divider to couple the the two ports into the single front port so that the two ports don't oppose each other (potential cancellation).

View attachment 26500922alright boys, here it is... after about 18 hours of non stop beating my head against the wall with anticipation... and lost of talking with bjfish and DJL from AQ i finally have the design ironned out. the elephant box is on the way... and is going to be mean as ****!!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif
