what flavor sub you putting in?

[Eldorado 0]

You have a wee bit of seepage in the corner there.

Enclosure looks good.

Those handle's on that end table thingy look freaky. I skurrd

[flakko 1]

looks good. are you doing that in your house?

Looking good so far, but if it were me I would double up that baffle and add some bracing otherwise you are going to have a flex-box of course depending on the drivers and power you throw at it.

Also, since the sides aren't perfectly flat I would sand them down before putting the top on. Having a 1/4" lip on one side will put tremendous extra stress on the top. I am sure you had planned on this but thought I would point it out.

Not yet finished have to Sand down the wood still and put the top on..

X2!!!

really are the JLs better than the re res?

[MuddinXJ 0]

which JLs are they? the RE REs can take a beating but I don't know if they can handle what certain JLs can.

[CBFryman 2]

RE's are good competition for W1v2's... i think they can handle w0's

bracing for the win

[vladd 26]

i would have gone separate chambers

[Eldorado 0]

I never used bracing and i dont plan to.

[vladd 26]

you rebel

I fail to see the point of bracing if you're going ported. Assuming that the dimensions don't leave a huge space unbraced, the sides do quite a bit. I coudl stand on my box and feel no movement (the mdf one, not the current ply)

Ever seen HT enclosures ?

They brace the crap outta them. Car audio enclosures run much more power and stronger woofers

[vladd 26]

my ht is a 13" sony tv with some tiny speakers, i don't think they have bracing

i just don't understand why even a little flexing would matter, you might lose a little spl, but if you're not an spl person, why does it matter? Does the flexing increase resonance?

[Eldorado 0]

Ya, it resonates.

Umm, flexing is resonating as they are one in the same. If you have a flex mode on your box of 60Hz you could have a (insert box dimension) speaker cone playing that note which could give you an extremely non-linear output. For extreme bracing (and pretty wicked sound) look at the internals of the B&W Nautilus, crazy how much she-i-o they stuff in there.
