Maritoze Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 I am going to start my box for 2 SA 12's approximately 3.5 cubes with displacements tuned to 36 hz with two 4" aeros. My question is, If it is double baffled but the the subs are flush with the top baffle would it be bad or cause a sifnificant loss in loudness. I want to try and compete in an amateur class in a few months. Also should I tune higher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 how would it decrease loudness? it doesnt affect anything on the woofer since its not even touching it pretty much. its just a beauty plate to make the woofer look nicer in the box.

Maritoze Posted March 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'm pretty new at this,I wasn't too sure if it would effect any performance. So I just figured I would ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvxsmitty58 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 i would recommend doing a triple layer if your going to flushmount. IT gives a lot more for the screws to bite into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT gives a lot more for the screws to bite into. why? its 2 12's not like 4 15's. no point in doing that IMHO. its not like a double baffle is gonna flex so much that you need another layer.

A double baffle is for extra box strength, correct? Then why would it be a beauty plate? It definitely helps with support, not for looks.....

skittlesRgood Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 flush mounting is for looks. of corse the second baffle adds strength. kranny knows this, you just didnt get his point. my opinion on flush mount... dont do it. youll understand when you have to line up the screw holes and cant grab the woofer. or have to take to woofer out. its a huge pain in the ass with a heavy woofer.

But as said if you want a double baffle and you want to flush mount i would do a triple baffle. This way you have two layers of wood for the sub to be mounted two and the third will add more strength to the box and allow for a flush mount. By god i will never do it again.

skittlesRgood Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 it looks nice and is great if you like smashing digits. i have a good memory of "ow ow ow, my finger is in there! drew lift it, lift it!!" some people seem to have a problem finding screws that will hold a woofer but its really not a big deal. a deck screw will hold onto .75" of mdf just fine. just buy good "deck" screws.
