    Well got it playin but ran into an issue. When it hits under like 24 hz the frequency acts real funny. And only at pretty much full volume. . Its like the bass pulses the frequency instead of it being constant. Its really weird iv never experienced anything like it. . . . Going to start weeding out shit tomorrow. .

    If anyone knows what im talking about or has any suggestions let me know. . 

    We did try another amp already and it still does it . .   Only full volume and only low 20 hz and under

    It might be from wiring to 0.5 ohm. I had an old Powerbass amp that would do that at 0.5 ohm for whatever reason. Just a theory?

    Nice. Lol. You got vids of it playing ? How do you like it ? 

    I'll hopefully get some videos this week or weekend. I absolutely love the Alpha. It's continuing to break in, and gets louder every time I play it. Nobody in Iowa has a TL i guess, so won't be metering until a MWSPL comp rolls around up here.

    I love how a naked box tells so much of a story compared to carpeted or covered.  Beautiful work!

    I wish more people complimented the wood grain, instead of covering it with carpet, bedliner, or paint. And took the time to sand, poly, resand, poly, resand again, and poly to get a deep rich pattern.

    This going back in the car or sitting as a beautiful house decor for a man cave? Lets see it in the whip and some action shots. 

    As soon as the Jeep gets back to the house (tomorrow late) I'll hopefully have some pictures Saturday and maybe a video showing everything!

    If he plans to compete, fire passenger side. If he's the only one that rides in the truck most of the time and just wants to enjoy himself, fire towards the driver side. Also in a truck situation where you're side firing I personally would rather see between 10 and 12 square inches per Cube rather than 13 to 15. So 12 should sound awesome.

    I got a quick question. Figured I’d ask you because you seem to have a lot of experience. It’s about multiple aero ports. I used an online port calculator, and as I enter the quantity of ports the length increases. Does the length represent total length of all combined ports together  or is it each aero port? 

    When you go from say one 4" aero to two 4" aeros, you've increased port area. To keep the same tuning, your port length has to increase as your port area increases. And the length it's giving is each port individually.

    Wood dye!? Is that the same as wood stain? That color really pops lol

    Kind of. Search "Keda wood dye". Basically it is stain, but the amount of colors you can stain wood with are limitless because you mix the powder into water or alcohol and make any color you want.

    Well first off I thought you was making a slot port with two kerfs in it.  I saw how long your wood was so I figured you was making a single piece front wall. With the kerfs for the port. Then I saw you had it looping around and the orientation you took the pic, so I imagined a slot port where that rounded piece of wood was the port wall lol.  Yea way off.

     But know this, you just blew the mind of someone with your wood working skills and design!!! Lol. And it’s 2017, a bunch of outlets with a huge data base of informations. ( google ,YouTube, etc) and ive never seen that done before. So kudos to you my man 

    Thanks! I've always tried to be creative (different) just because it gets boring seeing 100 people build boxes that all look pretty much the same. When I built boxes as a side job a few years ago in Oklahoma, I did some crazy stuff (triple octaport 6th order bandpass, SSA freehand jigsaw cutout inside of a brace, t-line in the shape of a snailshell/octagon). Actually, if you go back to the main forum page and scroll almost all the  way down, look through the subforum  "McGovney Designs". That's some of my work from a few years ago. So was about time to have some fun again. And this enclosure still has quite a ways to go.

    Awesome. Not what I had imagined lol. So what attaches it to the floor ? Or is it being attached to the face good enough

    Just out curiosity, what had you imagined?

     

    There are 6 screws attached it to the floor of the enclosure (from the bottom up), and pocket holes that attach it to the front of the box.

    Well, final construction is done. Just going to let the glue cure overnight before I flush trim the back side, but then she'll be ready for some orange dye and polyurethane! I'm extremely happy with how the box has turned out (especially the port). Oh, and the 9" hole in the front is the viewing window. Everyone does square/rectangular windows, so I wanted to do something different. Also need to buy some LED's to put inside the box. I can't decide whether I want to paint the inside white, or just poly it and leave it a natural finish. Suggestions?
