TritSub 10 - A modest 10" HT subwoofer design

[Triticum Agricolam]

So here is a subwoofer design I've been working on for a while. Its a modestly sized 10" sub enclosure that should work well with several different subs.

First off, here are some pics:

The goals of this system were to get as much performance from a ported 10" sub as possible while keeping the size of the enclosure reasonable. I wanted something that would have good output to the low 20's, but had a narrow enough profile I could hide it easily. Here are the specs of the enclosure:

Net volume: 2.0 Cubic feet

Tuning: 23 Hz

Port Area: 19.7 sq

External Dimensions: 12" W x 21.25" H x 24.75" D

External Volume: 3.65 Cubic Feet

Sub drivers that should work:

JBL GTO1014 (This is what I used)

Dayton UM10-22

Dayton RSS265HF

Infinity 1060W/1062W

Here is what it does:

This measurement was taken at 10 feet with 6.3 volts of input power and 1/12 octave smoothing. It should be very close to a 1W/1M measurement.

If anyone would be interested in building one for themselves it takes a little over 1/2 sheet of 3/4" plywood.

The cutlist is as follows:

Sides x 2 - 21.25 x 24.75

Top/Bottom x 2 - 10.5 x 24.75

Front x 1 - 10.5 x 17.875

Front doubler x 1 - 10.5 x 17.125

Back x 1 - 10.5 x 19.75

Lower port x 1 - 10.5 x 21.375

Upper port x 1 - 10.5 x 15.375

Braces x 2 - 10.5 x 2

This is the internal layout:

The port is 1.875" tall.

Here are some pics from the construction of mine:

I didn't get a picture of it, but the inside of the box is lined with felt. I rounded over the ends of the port panels and put a 1" roundover on the port mouth.
