Vito Basser Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hi guy's I am going to be building somebody a box for a RE XXX10 soon. The application is for a daily driver, my question is, would it make any audible difference if I were to strengthen the box? (resin, 45's, double baffle etc...) The specs will be 1.5cubes (AD) tuned to 30Hz with 2.5k of power in a L shaped port enclosure. SSF'd @ 25Hz and LPF'd @ 63-80Hz (18db/oct). Used to play music only... The box will be built with 18mm MDF but possibly birch if she wants to spend the extra. I had previously had it in a 1.5cuft box before which yielded good results. The only mod/change it had was a 45 directly below the sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vito Basser Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 That's exactly what I was thinking, I just want to make sure before I order materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Double baffle is nice if you want to flush mount the subs. Just sayin.

Jordan Guess Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 i used all-thread with washers and nuts to brace my box. very simple and cheap to do if you really wanted to brace a 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vito Basser Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Thanks guy's! Yeah, was thinking double baffle on top anyway; for cleanliness more than anything, that, threaded inserts and 8awg speaker wire have become pretty much standard in my boxes now... Yummy, I spy 4x 9515's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vito Basser Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Yeah, if you can imagine the L ported box and the sub was mounted right next to the port (off centre). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
