badasschevy Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) today i started on my enclosure, my first attempt at a ported enclosure, that will be going in my 98 chevy rcsb. the sub ( dc sound lab level 4) which i still need to get. hopfully in the next week or two. will be downfiring and the port will be forward firing. i'm limited on space and a blow through is out of the question. i need to go back to home depot in the morning and pick up another quarter sheet of mdf so i can do the port. hers some pics of the design laid out some tape, to help guide with the cuts where the sub will be housed and the wall to the left will have an opening cut out and used to to help brace the box. (sub in picture will not be used) heres a shot of the port opening on the front of the box. any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.

roscoe1129 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 My only concern would be the direction the port is coming out...to the front. I would have built a test box (just flat bottomed) and tested which way sounded best port facing forward , or port facing rear....Other than that GREAT JOB!!
