Tonight I'm gonna go to nilesh's to do the susp. Tomorrow may work out though.

What's gotta be done on the subie besides the rf 360 ?

 

MDF, because of its characteristics, its density is higher per square inch than any type of plywood. Stronger/dense walls equates to less flex during maximum chamber pressure, will result in a more controlled bass response. Yes, birch is an attractive wood and looks very GREAT stained, plus I used it all through high school and college.

Do you not agree?

 

i'm not too worried about panel flexing. after i get the ports in, i'll add some bracing between the front and rear panels. it'll should help with any flexing.

 

More Picsssssss???

 

No need for bracing for a box unless its very big, or has a very long side to it. Birch is just fine...it posted solid DB #'s with my ava. More controlled bass sounds like something some foo at an audio shop said. Only loss from panel flex is spl...not actual sq.

 

didn't do squat today. rain and no garage ftl.

 

Not enough port area at all man, not that it wont work, but your choking your sub...

For reference, I have that much port area for my 8 2 six inch aeros would have been better...

 

2 4" aeros are fine for that size box...that box size is chokin the sub more than the ports.

 

I've got a 1.9 with one 4 inch area, i don't feel like its chokin

 

can't really do anything until the damn ports arrive.

 

Are you getting the ports from PE?

 

yeah. it's gonna come in this friday.

 

Wait this is a 15? I thought it was a 12...wholy crap tiny box...

 

yeah it's a 15. i know it's on the smaller side, but it's still within the sub's recommended parameters.

 

so.....stain or carpet?

 

I vote carpet.

 

i'm leaning on carpet. but if it was for HT use, definately stain a nice rich brown.

 

I like laminate

 

how do you make the seam look clean though? when the two laminates meet at the edge...won't you see a white line?

 

flush trim bit.

 

the right tools will do it. Just stop by Don's house and he'll help you out...that's what I did.

You can do carpet AND laminate...looks pretty good...as don and I found out on our own boxes. On mine he did laminate front and back...carpet the rest. On his he did carpet on everything but the front.

 

Lookin good! I vote for carpet too.

 

How about stain on the back, laminate on the top, front and bottom and carpet on the sides, lmao.

 

Looks decent too...

 

It's cute........

 

blah to you.

 

Should meter it.........

 

but I did...

 

After tuning and break-in... no way in hell thats all you'd get at that point

 

I know I know...

 

I wonder how well an IB setup would do on the TL... gotta try that out after break-in.

 

what numbers did those RE's do?

 

135 i think it was? Doesn't sound right, does it?

 

nope...135 is pretty low...

 

Yep ... I'm thinking something may have been wrong with the TL or just need more tuning and break in

 

well ups guy came today and dropped off my ports from parts express. those things looks much bigger in person then in the pics you'll see online.








i added 4 more screws to each top piece. it helped with sealing it to the wood.

 

terminal installed.


camera flash on...


flash off.

 

I thought I had goofy big toes...didn't know asians have weird feet too. whats the dimensions of the box?

 

who said i was a typical small asian?

35.125 x 17 x 11

 

Gordo needs a Jasper jig BAD !!!!
