No bracing?
WTF?

I'd think some shelf bracing between the drivers at least.

AscendantMax Jan 28, 2011 09:44 PM

looks good! but yeah, i would definately brace the large panels in there. you'll get some major box flexing when those 10s are really moving.

what 10s are you going to use?

I've never really used bracing in any of my boxes...I am replacing my fi bl 15 with three sundown sa 10s.

mendon99 Feb 1, 2011 02:35 PM

jaxter09 Feb 1, 2011 04:26 PM

For now it's going to be powered by a cadence zrs-9 at 1.34 ohm.

mendon99 Feb 1, 2011 07:59 PM

that's a lot of port area... hope those cones are stiff

Don't hold me to this as I'm not positive what we ended up with (I'll check the design and post later) but I believe it was hxdxl was 13.5x21x48.

nismos14 Feb 4, 2011 12:06 PM

What's it tuned to? 40?

Looks Good man, woofers look sick

ampire Feb 18, 2011 05:34 PM

Nice lookin box, though I always had issues with a open box like that. Had a 3 cube box 2 10" infinities @ 40 hz two 500 watt rms monoblocks, never got it tuned right. I used a PVC port though. My other box was a single 15" 3 cube with a 20 hz tune for home theater, slot vented port that rolled back into the insides. Wasn't bad.

Tuned too high for vehicle use. Cabin gain will disrupt the port tuning.

metallic97gxe Feb 19, 2011 03:29 PM

nice yeah they should slam in that enclosure

Ricksi30 Feb 28, 2011 02:28 PM

Looks good, sounds good, absolutely blew my 15" Bl out of the water.

Flush mount the drivers.
Corner bracing.

What did you use to fill the kerf? Urethane glue seems to be popular on the other boards.

mendon99 Mar 3, 2011 11:46 AM

love the kerf. been meaning to try one next time I make a box.

I know!! I wish I could put it in my trunk but I can't fit the kerf with 3 10's. This is for two sundown sa 12's in my buddys Mazda 6.

mendon99 Mar 3, 2011 05:40 PM

would love to give some of those SA's a try. some day...

Ricksi30 Mar 3, 2011 07:36 PM

AscendantMax Apr 1, 2011 07:32 PM
