Tinkering in the garage

Since the set up is plugged into the wall, I am only feeding it about 300 w continuous.

Here are the pictures I promised.

From my limited understanding this is good, right? And yes I am using the beta version, I'll update to the newer version tonight.

Yeah, that's pretty good. Just understand that your frequency response is rolling off around 70 Hz on the upper end, so keep that in mind for your crossover.

What I don't understand is how you got that result with the box parameters you listed. I plugged in the same numbers to WinISD and I got a very different result. I may have fat-fingered something somewhere though. I'll check over my stuff and see if I can find anything wrong.

OK I see what's going on now. Up in your earlier post you listed:

Sealed Net Volume: 0.587ft³

Ported Net Volume: 1.442ft³

Tuning Frequency: 45.45

You had the Sealed and Ported volumes mixed up. The front chamber is the one that's ported. The rear chamber is sealed. So it should be:

Sealed Net Volume: 1.442ft³

Ported Net Volume: 0.587ft³

Tuning Frequency: 45.45

Its seems counter-intuitive since for car audio bandpass enclosures the ported side is almost always the bigger side. But if you want flat response in your garage its the other way around.

Sorry about that. I'm a bit dyslexic at times, especially when it comes to numbers.

This is all very interesting. Further modifications notwithstanding, I can't wait to build it and actually listen to it.

Thank you very much for your help. I'll post pictures of the build as it comes along.
