I'm doing my self a box build for-the-hell-of-it because I never put these two beals I bought a long time ago in a proper enclosure. Tuned for cabin gain, they come out looking pretty strong with only 200wrms total. This is made out of scrap in my garage, so it's both Lowes and Home Depot MDF, hence the color variations.

I'm building Moe Lesters 1.25@32hz:

and without further adu, here's where I'm at now.

A general layout:

And of the port pieces (yes, they're all exact):

And the work area:

broom. or a garage that never gets used converted to wood-shop //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
OMG. I just finished a "scrap MDF" 1.35 CF ABC enclosure for my Beals 8s today. That's a creepy coincidence considering how rare those woofers are! I also replaced their spade terminals with push-button ones. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

Great looking box BTW. Gotta show the world what those little bastards can do in style after all. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

 
I don't even know if they're still good //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

best $50 for two 8" woofers either way, I'd bet.

I was going to 6th order bandpass them, but windisd wouldn't model xmax and I didn't want to play replace teh subs when I have a negative bank balance.

 
I thought the same about mine until I realize that they hate clipping with a passion. Just a hint over and bang!- mechanical noise. Happens to both of mine regardless of how far they're throwing. 1mm 1 way and clipping and mechanical noise. 5 mm one way on clean power and clean sound. It's a mystery to me why.

 
Tomorrow morning, like 9am //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I'm going to pick up some tite-bond and some 4" pvc for the corners of the port (and various 6th order bp boxes I'm devising). class isn't until 11:30 so I should be almost done by then unless I decide to paint the port, which I just may.

 
some paint action:

The foam is coming off of one but the surround is still fine.
