    hey guys i havent posted here in a few months but figured maybe i could get some help from some of my fellow SSA members. i think the first prize or some of the top prizes are scholarships for the kids that win.

    well, my gf and i entered my daughter into the photo search on facebook and i've been trying to get some extra votes eek5wavey.gif

    if you guys could maybe go and vote for her real quick i would really appreciate it. she is 7 months old next week...you do have to like their page or something but just go unlike it once you're done voting. you can vote once a day until the 24th if you really wanted to give us some help but i'll settle for one if you'll give it.

    here's the link:

    The idea of putting it between wood works well if done correctly. I never use anything smaller then 3/4" for enclosures though.

    if you dont get yours local, can you link me to the website you get your plexi/Lexan?

    and how i was planning on sandwiching the plexi, keep in mind i've never tried this before - just plain old enclosures before. but i was planning on doing two sheets of 3/4'' mdf on the side i want to put the plexi, which most likely will be 1/2''. how i was going to do it was cut the window for the plexi, of course smaller than the sheet and round the edges with a router. then shave down each piece of mdf 1/4'', the size of the plexi, so it would fit perfect (on the side that i didnt cut the window, so the backside of the rounded edges of the window). would that work?

    sorry if i lost anyone with my description..

    thanks again..lol

    Doesn't really sound any different, other than you may be able to hear a little motor noise if the sub makes any. As far as mounting the plexi, you need to pre-drill and screw, usually use a countersink type bit and then use a seal in between the plexi and the wood you are mounting it to.

    never bought plexi before...guessing i could probly get any thickness, you have any idea on the thickness? thx for the help man!

    There's no complete answer here. It's going to depend on the sub(s), vehicle, available/desired enclosure space, desired sound goal (SPL? SQ? Daily Driver?), personal preferences, etc.

    I'm going to generalize here, so keep that in mind. A higher tune will generally produce louder, punchier bass, but will severely compromise low-frequency output capability (due to cancellation and the drivers unloading) whereas a lower-tune will be able to reproduce a broader range of frequencies, but generally won't be as loud in most situations and the bass generally won't be as "punchy."

    Like I said in the first sentence, however, it's so situational that there's really no right or wrong answer.

    thanks...so would it be safe to say that an enclosure with 10's you would want tuned higher and one with say an 18 you would want lower? SQ lower? SPL higher?

    alright guys i was just wondering if someone could either link me to or explain the pro's / con's of tuning higher and tuning lower? and how to figure out how enclosures should be tuned in regards to diff subs and scenarios?

    thanks for any help guys!

    (i ask because im not new to building enclosers, ported/tuned, just want to understand the tuning aspect better because i plan on building some enclosures locally for some friends and friends of friends - just want to make sure i make the best enclosures that i can...i need the extra money..lol)
