P3 and Small Amount of MDF


RyanRosier

Recommended Posts

I got a fosgate p3 and a left over section of mdf measured 49 inches tall by 28 wide. or vice versa. Can I get a small box out of this tuned to 32? Slot port. Looking for a cut sheet lol, my math sucks and I prefer to make it simple and just work with a full sheet. But this is what I have laying around

Well first we need to know the size of the sub. And unless it's an 8 inch, I highly doubt you can make a box for it with 4x2ft of wood.

best i can come up with is a box that is 14H X 17W X 14H.

that is 1.4 cuft, you can just fit all the pieces on your sheet but you will have to run an external port.

its a small box so you could run 1 4" at 18" or 2 3" at about 21"

edit:

by 4" i mean just a 4" round or 2 3" round.

just keep in mind that your saw blade is gonna take a 1/8" cut off each dimension. But you'll figure it out i guess.

divide the bard in half long ways

then cut your 14" boards and the you can cut the remainders in half for the rest.

you want a diagram or something?

The following can act as an ideal sealed or a rather inefficient ported (but still within RF recommendation):

Here's how your board cuts would look, as you can see almost all of it is used:

If trying ported it would be a 4" fully external round port, 20" long for 35Hz 24,5" long for 32Hz. (nice looking box though!).

Thank you Joe! I just wanted to tinker with it, when I get it done I'll post some pics and upload some videos!

Now I only have to have 24.5 inches worth of port at 4 inches correct? I can do 2 pipes at 12.25 or 3 at 8 1/5 correct? Just as long as I reach that number?

Also, how much displacement does the port have? Because I got to looking at this and thought I would really like to hide the port now and see just how good I can make with thing look, (go all out, wet sanded, painted, clear coat. Make it sexy lol.
