DLHgn Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 So here's the deal. I decided to design a new subwoofer enclosure for my small sound system that my girlfriend is currently using. The reciever has a built in amp for all speakers, including subwoofer, and outputs about 50W RMS @ 8ohm at max volume (so i'm guessing around 40W RMS at reasonable level). The speakers I'm looking at are from parts-express. They're the Tang Band W5-1138SM. 5" sub with neo motor. 40w RMS at with a 4ohm 1.25" SVC. I know I would be underpowering them but they seem to sim very well. Box Specs: Net Volume = ~1681.3 in^3 (Chamber is 9W x 12.25D x 15.25H)Port Area = 18 in^2 (9 x 2)Port Length = 29.75 inTuning is ~35 HzUsing 3/4" Material (Don't know what I want to use yet)Pics of Box:Front ViewSide ViewPics of WinIsd Graphs:Transfer MagnitudeCone ExcursionPort VelocityLink to speaker manual: http://www.parts-express.com/pedocs/specs/264-831-tang-band-w5-1138sm-specifications-45662.pdf What do y'all think?

DLHgn Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Actually I done goofed. The receiver I have is rated at 100w RMS @ 3ohm 1% THD. Would running it at 4 ohm do any harm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwking Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Actually I done goofed. The receiver I have is rated at 100w RMS @ 3ohm 1% THD. Would running it at 4 ohm do any harm? nope, that should effectively mean it's pushing 75w rms at 4 ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Nice design on that enclosure. And the TB 5" look pretty suitable for what your building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLHgn Posted December 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hey guys, thanks for the input. I've actually completely changed the design since then. This is the new design: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/207284-design-for-one-10-sub/ Would love to see what y'all think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
