man, you know im cool with you, but PLEASE dont say something i do is designed properly if its not even BUILT YET. A design flaw in the first stages of a design, is what the build grows from. We have room to play with, and yes there may only be a small area between each sub, but thats not where the wea point of the enclosure will be IMO. There are options to reduce/illiminate flexing/movement/vibration of the enclosure without screwing with sub placement. I have talked with a few people, and have looked througha few builds, and seems to me that in ALL OF THEM that te subs have been somewhat "close" to each other. Look at meades build......his subs are TOUCHING. Noone really knows where this build is going until it is being built. The pieces should be cut early this week, and assembly may have to wait a couple days, as Tom is taking a vacation.
By no means am I trying to show any disrespect to you, but we are in the early stages of design, as this picture doesnt evens how the final design, nor does it show what we will be doing to prevent certain things from happening.
Im no genious either, but I do know that vibration breaks down concrete. Bad roads? They have either been their a while (cars passing is vibration, as well as weight) and those with semi trucks regularly driving on them are even worse. Not to mention with something like that, the concrete has no "stable" backing, as something like hard packed dirt would be in real "daily" concrete work.
As I said...no disrespect, but the build hasnt even started. Yes the design/picture was posted on a public forum for critiquing, but you seem to look directly at this one thing like it will be the end all of the enclosure. 16 cubes is NOT a huge box. If we were building a van, bet your *** we would have concrete and rebarb, but its a daily/bassrace vehicle. 2x4's and all thread are a must, and we will go from there.
