meade916 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I got this 19" sub back in May. I thought i was getting 2 of them, and i probably still will. Anyhow, it's been sitting in the shop like a centerpiece ever since. I started to build a complicated box for it a few months ago with a few different bends. Using 1" MDF is a little tricky to do that. I had one of my bends PERFECT but my 2nd bend cracked the wood. I got mad and shelved the project because that was a LOT of kerf cuts! To do what i was doing it was anyway. Fast forward to last night. After getting to know my CNC for the last week i decided to go ahead and whip up a box for it. I used the manufacture's specs which is 8 cubes ported. It should be tuned to 30hz. I will verify with an SMD IM-SG later of course. But regardless, i spent a few hours last night designing and making my cut sheets. This morning when i got to the shop, i tossed the MDF on the table and got started. THIS BOX IS NOT DONE YET. SO GIVE A BROTHA A BREAK. Let me finish it before you judge it. Nothing too special, just a ported box, but a BIG ONE!! If you are just tuning in, here is a video of when i first got it. 3 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

meade916 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 again, it is NOT done!!! I am going to put a fat round-over on the inner port 90 and also on the entire outside. The box is extended past the front baffle because i want to put a screen on it. If it sounds good with the temporary wooden top, i will replace it with 1" clear acrylic. Or at least a window of some sort. but please, i am not finished yet so don't tell me what you would do because i don't care. To put it bluntly. lol 2 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel! Over 1,000,000 subscribers strong!

meade916 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 for anyone wondering. The woofer is countersunk 3/4". I took the 1" board down to 1/4". Being on the CNC, it lined up very well with the actual cutout baffle. So the sub is actually mounted on 1 1/4" MDF when its all done.
