Daniel Shepard Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Tryed my hand at a 4th order today. It's 1.01ft3 sealed, 2.01 ft3 ported@ 44.8 hrz all after displacement. Yes its partical board. I wanted to experiment before I spent the big bucks. I have never heard a 12 go so low but honestly I'm not impressed with the output on anything past 40. But damn it gets low! It's in a 02 civic coupe Edited July 22, 2012 by Daniel Shepard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412 CVX Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) build looks solid, but in the future, just say no to particle board lol. but yeah otherwise looks great! edit: sorry if i came off as an ass lol, didn't read the beginning. My friend built a 4th out of particle board, the box flexed quite a bit. your build looks a lot more solid though, tuned in for vids! Edited July 22, 2012 by 412 CVX Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

john253a Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Output pasted 40 will pick up if you give 6th a try,(best of both) Did you model it first or just pick recommended sealed and double it for ported Other then that nice build, Do you plane on testing it on termlab Edited July 23, 2012 by john253a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 a extra $7-10 bucks is not going to make you go bankrupt to get some decent wood.. i would say box looks good, but I just cant due to the particle board... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats everyones deal with partical board? I have built plenty of boxes out of it with Great results. Just because theres better wood out there doesnt mean its horrable to use. honestly, I prefer being able to stick screws in and go rather then sit there and pre drill, even with that you still get blow outs. I have done alot of cabinet work and I dont see much difference between the two. Yeah, you can throw specs and density at me but every home audio cabinet I have ever seen is partical board so obviously its not the end of the world for someone to use it. Its a hell of alot easyer to work with, I have yet to see it not be as strong under pressure, and its cheaper for the "concept" builds. Each to his own, I like the stuff!

siucsaluki11 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I dont think ive seen a home audio woofer in a particle board box taking 1kw RMS.....thats just the extent of my knowledge though with HT...

I assumed 1 cube net would be enough then I went with the 2 to 1 thing on the ported side. I read to tune high, I should have gone higher. It was all just a wild hair up my ass! no testing on term lab here, I just wanted output on music. I really wanted a tline box but with a fs of 29 I could not fit it I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
