X-10 Box design, what do you think?

So i got my reply and yeah i was off on a couple of things.

Bryan told me in the e-mail 20 inches of port area, net volume of 1.5 cubes and at least 2" space between the sub and box fort the vented pole peice.

I did forget to ask what the displacement of the sub was, so i just figured it had to be more than the SA-10 and less than the SA-12.

After taking those numbers into consideration and tuning it to 30hz instead of 32 i think this is what i'm gonna build for my X-10.

Markous I am glad you posted that information (hard to find in searches). And thank you CleanSierra for pointing out my poor homework and math. Back to the wood shop.

Another thought I had this evening, would a sealed box be worth trying?

I know i could just build it and try it but i'm looking for opinions here before i bother going any further with this idea.

Would i notice much of a difference between the SA-8 v2 i have in a ported box now over having the X-10 in a sealed enclosure?

I figure having one size larger driver and double the power i am using now would make up the difference in output i would get.

The idea of a flatter response curve with equal or slightly more output is appealling to me from a SQ standpoint.
