zxsonnyxz Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 I'm not very familiar with what Torres does for you, I don't use it, but I see what Joe X said now. Root, how did you assemble the box?

RooTxBeeR Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Posted April 21, 2013 I post this picture so you understand what I mean when I say front/back/side boards, it will be what you see in the picture. So I start with the bottom board, put the front board on, then start attaching the sides and the port. Once the port and sides are secured in, I put the back board on. Then attach the baffle. I have yet to attach the baffle because I haven't cut the wholes yet, but that is my process. I had only 2 peiceces to my port, and one was signicantly shorter in length than the other. So I know it doesn't come down to switching them on accident. Also sonny, I realize now how we got our numbers, on your picture, the port starts under the top board, my box is not like that. I have the port, and all board level, and attach the baffle to them. Edit: I also now realize that, that is the picture I used, included with formulas, to get my port lengths. And never realized the baffle of that box. Because of how I construct my boxes, compared to how that picture is shown, I believe I need to add 3/4 of a in when I do my formulas. I am 5/8 a inch bigger on my second part of my port, which can easily be accounted to it being a 1/8 in off 3/4 because of blade thickness not being taken into account when the cut was made, which would then also back up what I just said about not added in a extra 3/4 of a inch. Does this sound any bit right? Edit2: To double check what I am thinking ^^^^^ There, I went to the cut sheet provided by the Torres calculator. The front and back panels are 17.5" which are built internally inbetween the top and bottom boards. Which in my formula provided by Joe X, told me to accomadate 3 pieces of wood, which in my box is 19-2.25=16.75, add a extra .75 like I said and you get that 17.5" that it shuold be. I remember that convo Joe X, I am looking at the PM. I knew I was right, and was so damn confused as to why you said otherwise, but I see now that I am correct. If you think otherwise, I will listen, but damn this sucks :/ On 11/20/2012 at 8:54 PM, AMI CUSTOMS said: Turned mine up today at a light, guy next to me his steering wheel started moving and he looked over at me like I was a magician lol.

zxsonnyxz Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 We have both missed out on a few things. I wonder how torres deals with the double baffle? Cause I see 19" as total height, and side pieces are 17.5", that only acounts for two widths of wood. Give me a minute and I'll see if I can't draw up a new sketch for you, as well as for me STD Passat Build 151db+STD Omega BuildMitsubishi Colt Build - Alpine|Focal|PeerlessHome Stereo BuildSmall Tang Band build - 4" fullrangeBox for 4 8"My Saab 9000 Build- I'd be very happy if you cared to check out the logs and give feedback!

RooTxBeeR Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Posted April 21, 2013 check my picture I posted, and look at how I have my top baffle, the one side is double up, that's how I do mine.
