    I have been kicking around some box designs and I have a certain foot print I want to keep.

     

    This is where I currently stand.

    Box will be 40"x21.5"x22.5" . Port is going to be 6"x20"x42" at just under 33hz with a total of 120" of port.

    Vent match is .034, 37.906ft/sec.

     

    My plan is to take my xcon box and cut it down and go from there.

     

    More to come....

    Bump for box input. Do the numbers look good?
    How are you gonna have a 42 port width if the box is only 40?

     

    The port is 6 X 20 and 42 inches long wink.png

    You got it Rick.

     

    P1-15"

    P2-25.5"

    +.75" double baffle

    +.75" P1 thickness

    =42"

    What happenes when the air is denser there is more air to move or harder to move the air. It can very in effect. maybe louder maybe quieter depends on the vehicle and the internal temp. i get more flex in the summer and a little bit higher numbers in the colder months. Your equipment works at best when the equipment itself is cold.  or cool. not frozen but just cool.

    if youre do that use stainless steel. OR brass/aluminum something that wont rust.or you can always undercoat the weld. because welds rust easy. but you can alway have a ground block made and bolt it to the unibody. i was just thinking today in my machining class of working on a independant project of taking a block of aluminum and machining it down in the CNC Mill and machining holes for 2 grounds and a bolt hole.

    i did this with my gcon's but they never caught fire just burnt the spider and the pad on the back of the cone with some discoloration. got the magnet pretty toasty a few times but thats because i was running over rms. haha. but it took the beating like a champ i reconed it and bought another one. but they are sold now and i have 2 xcon 18's now.

    Going to pick up some xcon 18's tomorrow will have some vid's of it on the ap1500. sold the GCON 15's. Its been hush hush but all of the sudden was set on a EVIL but Xcons i think would be best! can't wait to get them full powered in the wagon!! they are coming out of the sealed box eventually and going ported! can't wait to do this build this summer before college starts! :D

    Well chop i have those pics and the IAK one i used on the coins isn't the one i need. i need the one thats on the back of the shirt design. do you have that one? if not i can use the IAK mashed symbol. but i'm making a little plaque with LED's to light it up underneath. Using CAD/CAM to do it. gonna be a cool little project.

    Well i have 2 gcon 15's i used to run kicker ds 6.5 co-axil's they were no where near enough. i have a cerwin vega 400.4 running incriminator audio front end. IA 6.5's comps. They are godly! i love them so smooth and loud. i also have crescendo audio loudbass 6.5's not installed yet. but you really only need 1 set of tweets. your midbass speakers is what a few of you could really be happy with. more than a set of 2 tweets is pointless unless your competing. and you want something that will scream.

    yes i use a t-square and one of thoes clamp's which nem has let me borrow. but i still can never get them right maybe what swift said about the tape being a little slack ill try measuring from the 1 in dash instead of the end. But all of these points you all have made are basically what i do haha. wasn't sure if there were something along thoes lines i was doing wrong or something from blade to the edge of the plate on my saw is 1.25 in. thats what i place my straight edge at. draw a line with the square and then place the straight edge basically right on top of that line on the left edge and then i cut. they are pretty straight from what i see but sometimes when i get the box together it does always fit the way id expect. the bottom is always flush but never the top haha. but i guess practice makes perfect. And i guess lowes is the walmart of hardware so getting cuts done there wouldnt be ideal. but thanks for the help guys. One more quick question. How much better would a table saw work for cuts like what i'm making? Basically what im doing is designing and building boxes for friends or people who ask as something to do for side money. ported and sealed... but yes im just trying to get more input and get better at building box's

    Hey guys i know this is a stupid question but when lowes cuts your wood are the cuts pretty straight. And what do they charge per cut? let me know. i've been having a hell of a time getting straight cuts with my saw and a guide clamp... for the most part they are straight but when the box is all assembled there is always a few corners that are off balance...
