brownm3 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 ive never heard of a sonotube enclosure? wouldn't the cardboard rip apart form pressure or something or am i just missing something? Look for sixdogs1 on youtube. He is currently in the rebuild of his system he is going with custom made tubes. I am sure its been done before him but that was the most recent I have seen of anyone doing them. Hey OP maybe you could reach out to sixdogs on youtube and ask for some tips. He goes through his entire build process on at high level so that might give you so good tips. Good luck with the build if thats the route u go.

FroznBeavrBALLs Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 d x d x .79= cylinder volume. you can even slap an aero port at the opposite end and you'll have a decent spl enclosure. i have never heard of this way to calculate volume of a cylinder.... I've always used V= (3.14)r^2H (pie x (radius squared) x height. Does your method really work? And OP do u mean u want to use sonotube as your port or as the actual enclosure??

Fish Chris Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Okay, my bad. So you just want a cylindrical enclosure. I do see where this would be super rigid, as it has no flat surfaces to flex. Personally, I'd still paint it with fiberglass resin, then sand and paint.... Or carpet it. I'd especially seal the inside, to prevent any air from soaking into / through the cardboard surface. Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEvil Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Well, I suppose you could take a length of sonotube, seal it off at one end, and just have a cylindrical shaped, sealed enclosure. Not sure what the benefits would be. But generally speaking, a sono-tube enclosure "IS" a a T-line. Just another name for it. Another way of looking at at a sonotube sub set up, is just, that your speaker is mounted in a giant port, no actual box needed. Fish i dont want a t-line tho i want a sono tube enclosure They're only t-lines when they are 6-8 feet long.. which is pretty much never.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.
