Triticum Agricolam Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 It looks great, I have recently messed around with sketchup and can now appreciate the level of work that really goes in these designs so I just have to say thank you at least once more The sonotube port is a design I havn't seen before, this is like a precision port or aero-port? could you expand on the the idea behind that over a slot port (I figure there is likely a reason this design is superior/more-suited) I'm glad I can help. Sketchup is one of those things where the more you use it the faster and more proficient you get. Doing Sketchup work for others helps me with that. The sonotube is just a really easy way and cost effective to make a large round port. Its basically a thick cardboard tube, they are actually meant to be concrete forms for pouring footings and things, but they work very well for audio applications. In fact them make them so big (24"+) people will just put caps on the ends of them and use them as the whole enclosure. Like these: http://www.subwoofer-builder.com/inspirations/cylindrical.htm For best results you should flare the mouth of the port as much as possible, and to the same for the inside end of the port. You can do this by making some "donuts" out of MDF (basically making your own aeroport). The reason I used a round port instead of a slot port is I have a lot more confidence in the port length equations for round ports. If you make the port 7.5" long I can tell you I'm pretty darn certain its going to tune that box to 31 Hz. There are a lot more variables with slot ports so I don't have the same degree of certainty with them. Its something I'm experimenting with myself to try and get nailed down, but until I'm confident with them I want to make sure I give you good information and the round port is the best way to do that.

Man you're so thorough. Totally makes sense to me, let's see what this looks like in real life. Whenever you get a chance i'm ready for a cutsheet. (Unless its safe to take the dimensions off the sketchup) Sub is scheduled for delivery tomorrow too, so i'l throw some pics up when its here.

Triticum Agricolam Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sure thing, I just wanted to make sure it was what you wanted before I made a cut sheet, here it is: Top/Bottom = 22-3/8" x 72" Baffle/Back = 18-1/2" x 72" Ends = 18-1/2" x 20-7/8" Be sure to brace it well and I expect to see some pics!

Next are some shots of the tinsel leads.. _____________________________________________________ This is one side (looks good) Next is the shot of the other side. (wtf) It's taught.. the tinsel is taught. like strung tight.. guitar string Can't imagine that's right or that it could put up with longterm abuse, could it?

HowLowCanYouGo Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Looks like the push terminals got pushed in towards the subwoofer. Maybe during unboxing or shipping? The box it was shipped it wasn't crushed at all was it? Nothing for now... Did you get that scar tissue when you got your vagina installed? I'd grab Adam's ass and look him in the eyes for a demo of nates truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
