Perhaps explaining why you picked what enclosure volume, port size and length would help. Otherwise it is a bit arbitrary in anyone's response.

I thought you got smart and were going to use a different driver?

Please read my posts with care. I do not pull punches, but state exactly what is on my mind. My goal is to make you think, make you try harder and to improve yourself AND this forum. This doesn't mean that I don't like you, am being aggressive towards you, or have any other hidden meaning. Instead look at it as me trying to make you better. In no way at all should your butt be hurt by my posts. If so, read it differently. You agreed to taking criticism when you joined, doesn't mean that you have to choose to take it personally. The more effort you put into your threads and posts, the more I will in return. What you get out of it is up to you.

I was. Super proud I didn't shit my pants. I was sure it was going to happen.

We sit on the same bench. Your "asshole" just makes me curious.

M5,

I thought you only offered constructive responses? Because that is blatantly a derogatory comment at the end. He is very happy with the Skar VVX-15 and is choosing to get more of them. For a minute I actually thought you were going to give him advice...

Mike - I am on my phone - but from what I can see in your images at a quick glance - the box looks great =)

Let me put this into perspective.

That box will have a very narrow frequency response and will sound like shit. If you arbitrarily dropped a single Xcon 15 into the SAME box with the SAME power it will be louder from every where except between 45-65Hz where the Skar will be theoretically louder although not enough for you to hear the difference. Not sure why you'd do that....

The response of the VVX series was designed and geared for people who don't know what they are doing. Getting one to have a decent response in a box is extremely tough....although if you like peaky plays a few note wonders they are fine. Seriously odd choice IMO.

It is constructive. He made another thread and decided on a different driver before you misled him again. Since you like the box so much perhaps you can explain why. 5.5cuft and those 15's is NOT going to work out well unless you seriously don't care about frequency response. I'll wait for your response although I expect that you'll punt again.

two projects with the skar and other subs. this is my first design and kinda has no purpose. constructive is good so thanks m5. i didnt know what exactly to may for these. I am jumping to different subs, but i may do 1 more skar for sake of in the mean time.

and picked the volume because on skars site its rec 3 cubes each max. so i thought more port area per foot was good. . . and chose the length to lower tuning
