Collaborative Enclosure Design Thread

and i would try this weekend but i have to do the surround system at a superbowl party. And it is still cold out. There is supposed to be a big warmfront though so i will prolly try to do it next weekend.

 

isnt it exciting? i never thought that i would be stoked out on 32 degrees, i have an install that i wont need the space heater for... and i might wear shorts.

 

LOL ya I'm stoked too! Ima quit wasting time and I'm gonna go do something to the cutty now!

 

went and got MDF AND carpet today will start on it as i get some time and it aint as cold! thanks again azn!

 

don't forget about the pics jonny.

 

Double post

 

no pressure azn... what were you thinking of? should it be a 2 chamber box (one for each sub?) Port middle? side?

 

Alright, now that iam going to be getting into a place with some garage space i canstart putting my boxes together. Azn, how do you get the res freq of an enclosed box? i need to make a sealed box for my 12's and 10. iam going to tune the ported box on the kickers to about 30, the sealed 12s to about 40-45 n the sealed box for the ten to about 60. iam doing an install on the 11th too, ill have photos up afterwards.

 

I have no idea what you all mean by a roll off. I had my lowpass really low before but I was thinking of tuning a bit higher this time. What do you suggest?

 

roll off is when a specific frequency reaches -3db from the original 0db.

 

ok, i guess i'm really retarded... lol... How do you know when that happens? this is where I really get lost.

 

thanks! so the tuning will be 40hz? cuz my previous 2 boxes were about 35hz and I want to try something different this time.

 

I'm thinking bigger.. I really don't know. I know that the box that that electro designed was a lot louder than my first one. I got better lows with the second box but I was thinking that the new box should have individual chambers and it's own port. what do you think?

 

I'd probably would say to make 2 chambers and 2 separate ports. You could have 1 on either side or both in the middle. whichever is easier to design.

As for the subs, i guess i want them facing rear like i had them before. where you'll put the ports is all up to you...

thanks again azn.

 

alright. I got a build for 4 10"ers, measurements are 43w x 15h x 12d. about 1.5cuft per driver, think they should run all in the box, or separate divisions? dependsing on the drivefrs that will be selected, think tuned to about 38-45. what chu guys got? (in the process of moving so ill post up numbers and designs when I have a minute.)
