    Ok for the enclosure we talked about the prices are as follows.

    $160 for the box w/ carpet

    $170 for double baffle and flush mount

    I can meet you in like Fremont or somewhere so you can pick it up. If you just want it shipped it could be real shipping costs to the AFB.

    Ok so this is what I came up with last night before my power went out.

    I changed the height to 22 inches because the back seats of a Tahoe are 22 inches so I think it looks funny when a box is taller than the seats. (I personally have a Tahoe)

    Width - 39

    Height - 22

    Depth - 16

    4 Cubes @ 34 Hz

    I increased the port area a bit - 20.5 x 3.5 = 71.75 sq inches of port.

    These dimensions figure in double baffle due to the weight of the sub.

    Also let me know if you want flush mount.

    Sides are indented .75 inches also.

    Let me know what you think of this.

    MDF stands for medium density fiberboard, HDF is high density. MDF royaly fucks your tools when you cut it, HDF is much worse. I'd stick with MDF, Birch, or Trupan Light. Don't worry about the sounds waves reflecting, MDF is already dead and reflective.

    MDF is NOT acuostically dead, Just better than some of the alternatives.

    Please explain more.

    Maybe he is comparing it to a slab of marble? :)

    If we wanted to get super technical MDF and HDF are not "acoustically dead," something that would be acoustically dead would be a material that sound waves would bound off of and not penetrate hence the slab of marble.

    The short and simple, HDF is more acoustically dead than MDF but it will dull your tools even faster and weigh more. Persoanlly I used MDF because tools and gas are already expensive enough :)

    The meter has a capacitive display. IE there is a time constant or smoothing that is occurring. In other words, really fast voltage spikes in either direction it won't see. Volts are dropping, you just aren't measuring it.

    And yes, I am sure you are clipping your amp. No way that isn't at 1200w. On a real load with a distortion tester that amp will not produce its rated power. Set it at 1000w and see if your problem still exists. Conveniently for you, there is NO AUDIBLE difference between 1000w and 1200w anyways.

    M5 I'm sure you know the answer to this, but the fact has slipped my mind at this moment. I think most DMMs recycle their reading 2-3 times a second and the good ones up to 5; but the human eye can detect a dimming light at 1/20th a second?

    I tried my best to remember lol
