whats wrong with this enclosure???

READ ME MAZDAKID

the reason the sub sounded like *** free air is because the sub was over excurting. dd said that sub should only be moving 1" and 1/4" max, so theres the problem the enclosure has no control over the woofer! enclosure=fail!!

I still don't think its the box. The sub makes the noise free air or in a box, the sub is the problem.

box too big, and the port is not loading enough. when i ran a single 1508 it did that, made the box smaller and it helps a LOT. other wise the box is wayy too efficient for the sub on smaller tight bass hits.... but it'll play a constant 35-40hz type song and it'll not make that sound and sound pretty loud. Am I right?

Ya well me too. so i sent the woofer to digital designs . they called me while the woofer was playing, it was playing flawless. the woofer has been tested, the system has been tested. the only thing in the whole chain thats left is the enclosure. the thread i posted on soundpressure looking for help , i did every test anyone mentioned.

any space between the sub and the box? is it real flat under it? any air leak? sounds like it to me

no this box is solid. i plugged the port and listened for any leaks , its sealed well .

just put the sub in a half cube sealed box. sub plays very well sealed in fact in the sealed box theres no funny noises and better yet it has more bass impact and gets louder than mobieous's ported enclosure:wow://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

well i would agree that the enclosure must be ****ed up. mobious designed it but who built it. ive built many enclousres in my day and cant say ive never had one that didnt work. perhaps i could have aceived more out put if i tuned it higher or the box volume smaller what ever, the point is if your in the realm of a certin internal volume and tuning you should have out put. you say if you plug the port you have out put. perhaps this design(and i have a similare design in my truck, but the port is much wider) just didnt lend it self to a port very well.

There is a lot of dead space though, on top of the port

ding ding!

I would have designed it to where the sub was all the way to the right, and over top the port wall. You want to design boxes to where you can get the most amount of usable space. In his case, the sub is right next to the port opening and the area above the port is just dead space.

Me and a buddy who owns a cabinet business built the box. Its exactly what mobieous gave me.
