IndianaBassHead Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Posted May 22, 2012 ya it was lol. it sucked. but I'm pretty disappointed how it turned out. But hey it was my first big build so u live and learn I guess. I will try out your build. I think I will like it better. So your saying keep it subs up/ port back? and also everyone says 6.5 to 7 cubes/sub thats why i built it so big.

Hotdog Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) here is the link to there box specs on AQ website. http://www.audioque....ing-_ep_68.html they do recommend big enclosures Edited May 22, 2012 by Hotdog Quote (NEW) 2004 F-150 Build Log -->http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/192208-hotdogs-f-150-build-log/ 2003 Mercury Mountaineer Build Log --> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/114380-hotdogs-2003-mountaineer-build-log-20-removed/page__gopid__1602379#entry1602379 2008 Equinox Build Log --> http://www.stevemead...g/#entry1475764
john253a Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 cutting off the bottom is a big job another option is cut the top and remove the port walls, cut then down and router them out so as there steeped to .75 on the sides Quote
Hotdog Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Is your wood thickness really 1.5" or two layers of .75" on top and .75" on the other sides?

IndianaBassHead Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) I've got an idea. Would I be better off flipping the box upside down and facing it forward as a wall. Port on top. Then recut the top where the holes are which would now be the bottom piece and put subs below port. Then wall it in. That way I'd have plenty of room and not have to rebuild the box. and the wood is 2 layers of .75 all the way around. including port.

Joe X Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Manufacture recommends 3.84929 ft ³ per sub after displacement. you will still get 5.5ft^3 with this box and just remake the port. I don't know where it says so but take a look at this link: http://www.audioque....ing-_ep_68.html Edited May 22, 2012 by Joe X Quote
purplesyrup Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 I would try it out first before you tear it back apart, you may get some interesting loading off of it. Now given your vent area is larger than the area it has to pass through, but I have seen some freak things over the years. Quote
Hotdog Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 cutting off the bottom is a big job To me it would seem easier to cut at the bottom. I would not want to redo the top baffle and the speaker cut outs. Much easier to cut the bottom and redo the port. How would you go about cutting the top?
