    Hey, I will be building at least 1 enclosure this weekend. I was considering doing it with very basic tools (so anyone could do it), and wondered if you wanted to host a tutorial? I will build a ported box for the Brahma, using only 2 "C" clamps, a drill, a circular saw, and a jig saw. I want it to be rather detailed. I just tried to create a new Hotmail Account and it is no longer free. I was going to do it on sounddomain ;) and link it to here, but I can't do that now :angry: . Anyways, I also have a sealed dual Boston Pro 12 enclosure to do, at my lesure, and I figured I would start, if not finish it this weekend as well. I can do it on Tripod, but I don't want to take up all my space, and Geocities would be down every 15 minutes :rolleyes: . I was going to try to save you server space, but I don't think I will be able to do it...

    Get free e-mail through australia.edu

    The best free mail service I've found anywhere, NO advertising on their web pages and NONE mailed to you unless you hand your address out to advertisers.

    Very few graphics and a basic interface, so no load time @ all, especially on cable.

    And people on eBay keep asking you if they have to ship to australia. :D

    OK, I am all ready to begin. I wonder if flawlesskid is going to come by to help *hint hint* :D .

    Anyways, before I begin, what would you guys like to see? Should I highlight any process in particular? Specific cutting, squaring, gluing, sealing, or anything you may want to see. I am doing this to help out my Bro's here, so your questions would be greatly appreciated, I'm sure, by those interested in learning the process. Anyone?

    I am intrested in seeing the dual 12 sealed box for the Bostons. It looks as if I will be making two sealed boxes for my armageddons.... although after last nights "baffle experiment" maybe I should have someone else do it :rolleyes:

    well I got all the wood cut, and I was cutting out the baffle and broke my last jigsaw blade :rolleyes: . Oh well, I got a new hotmail, and have started a new SD page. I will post my first set of pics soon, and I will complete the page when I get the project done. My membername is grannat overthere for the enclosure build. I will post a direct link when all is done.

    Well guys. It is official. I lost 2 fillings :lol: . The output of this woofer even in an SQ ported application is just obscene. While the woofer maintained most of it's accuracy (I did get it to slop up just a tad in a very complex kickdrum track), ,it is apparent it lost a hair of it's SQ. Still more impressive than almost any other driver on the market I've heard. A sealed 13W7 is more accurate than a ported Brahma, but I'd like to hear the 13W7 ported to hear how it compares in similar enclosure designs. It is still more accurate than the 12W7s I have heard ported, but that may be enclosure shortcomings. My once nearly perfect deadened car is a rattletrap. My HOOD is rattleing. The Grill in my front bezel is rattleing. This thing is obscene. The first time it hit, I flinched. All I can say is, Dan, I hope those Kodas will keep up. When you sending me a set? ;)

    did you get it metered yet seth??

    and are you going to stick with ported, or do you ultimately prefer the sound of sealed enclosures?

    No. I definatly climbed at lest a few Db, but not yet. I am still doing some listening.

    I'm a sealed guy through and through. I've always stated that. I will listen some more and decide what i want to do.

    Flawlesskid: "I have a new respect for the Brahma." "did you feel that wind on your head?!?! I mean a BURST!" "The Brahma is a grown man."

    Hitme : "Dayum. That things a BEAST!!!"
