ShadeTreeMechanic Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Awesome work! I like how you cut things with the router. I can't believe the price is so low and with a terminal cup and wires too?

Nightshade Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I will add that all the other points you made I do agree with. Also whoever paid the $200+ price for the first enclosure got hosed. I know that you do very good work and I would 100% trust you with building an enclosure for me. I prefer to build my own and never go to the lengths that you do because I constantly change my enclosure and do not want to put in the time and materials when it will change not long after. Excellent build though! 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2loud4uboyz Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I would say you have made a few boxes in your time. Dope work as always. Dang man you make it look so easy and it's far from it at this level. I like the detail of your work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofanaticz Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 While I love your work Brian I do not agree with the statement that you made about the aeroports needing to be the port diameter's length away from any side of the enclosure. I only build aeroported enclosures and have exclusively used these boxes for pure spl purposes. The rule of thumb that I personally follow is to keep the wall that is perpendicular to the port opening at least the port diameter's length away. I have never found by mounting close to a side or bottom wall of the enclosure to effect the output of one of my enclosures. While it is suggested to mount the port this way I have not seen SPL output effected by it from testing either. Many SPL competitors follow the diameter from the perpendicular wall method with great success and a lot of times, especially when using 6" or larger ports it is impossible to mount the port as you suggested especially from the top or bottom of the enclosure. I will just note that if you have ever seen Terry Brocks enclosure that he used in his CRX the port was only 1 or 2 inches from the top and bottom of the enclosure and was larger than 8" in diameter while doing over 160dB. This did not effect the SPL in his case. As far as sound quality is concerned, I have never heard a difference from this mounting of the port. This is not what I say, but what Precision Port says, its in their instructions with the ports. Id think they know how to use their own ports, but maybe not? I am not saying they will not work if not properly placed, they just wont work at their peak performance according to their site. http://www.psp-inc.com/4_Instructions.html The "Precision Port™" can add an average of 3db in output if used correctly.2. Determine proper speaker & port placement before cutting any holes. The Precision Port™ should be placed at least one port diameter away from any inside walls, if possible.

ToNasty Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Question. With aeros ice heard it can be half the distance away from a wall as the sole of the port because of the port ratio. Such as 4" port can be 2" away This is not true? ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Question. With aeros ice heard it can be half the distance away from a wall as the sole of the port because of the port ratio. Such as 4" port can be 2" away This is not true? I depends on if you are trying to avoid any interaction between the port and the box or just trying to avoid negatively effecting port performance. If all you are concerned about is avoiding negatively affecting port performance, the port only needs to be 1/4 of a diameter away from the back wall to have the same amount of area for air to escape as the port has. So that's the bare minimum, though its going to require the air to make a pretty sharp 90 degree bend, so it still could cause some air resistance. Probably figure at least 1/3 diameter to be safe. Having it that close WILL affect tuning though. If you want to make sure there is no interaction between the port and the box (which would cause the tuning to be lower than intended) that's where the guideline for keeping the port one diameter away from walls comes from. Keeping the port at least 1 diameter away is definitely the ideal situation, but we all know that's not how things work out all the time. There have been efforts to take advantage of having the port end near an internal wall, the Polk power port is an example: "Nothing prevents people from knowing the truth more than the belief they already know it.""Making bass is easy, making music is the hard part."Builds: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
