New box for the ZCON 18

Recommended Posts

After several months of full tilt playing in my old box, I noticed some of my wood glue seams started to crack and pull apart. The boards rattling together sounded awful which led me to building a new box. I'm going to try to post progress pics and videos as I go along, but there will be delays since it has been raining here a lot over the past few weeks and I've been very busy. Well here it goes..

Box specs:

dimensions are 51"W x 20"L x 21"D

10.33^3 ft. before displacement

dual flared ports (kerfed)

tuned to 32hz.

sub front, ports back

sub flush mounted

seams bonded, clamped, & nailed

all internal surfaces receive a layer of glue (instead of fiberglassing)

This will fit snug between the rear wheel wells and will be bolted to the floor in 4 locations. Here's the first stages of the box:

Stay tuned!

only thing I'm trying to figure out is sub front port back....seems like it would be a lot of summing and cancellation (depending on the freq)

woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked

You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

Some of my loudest boxes have been sub front, port back! I'm trying to figure out where I'll be putting the battery tray / amp rack. That's what will determine if the sub goes in the front or the back. It should be nice out tomorrow so I'll be at it again and we'll see how much I can get done.

thinking about it now more yeah, i can see where it would work, but it seems like it would be kinda a rare exception. I could see this being used in SPL to line up the wave from the port and the wave from the cone at the dash, but thats about the only application i could see it being most advantageous i guess.
