BBP seems a little messed up ... I think it's just because the ports won't fit the enclosure - gives me 3 x 3" ports @ 16.17" long or 3 x 4" ports @ 163.9" long.

Looks like I'm going to have to pick up some ports either way then ... just flip them inside after, because this will just become my daily box after with a little port modification.

It would have to be woofer up, ports firing out to the side. Three ports eh ... hmmm. I have to jump on my desktop and pull up BBP.

Limited time, and it wouldn't be a TL. I know ... it sucks.

Joshie poo ... ah well. Like I said, nothing full tilt ... because I've decided that after this, the uber comes inside, and some other little toy will replace it in the Mazda.

People who say they're going to phone and never wind up phoning really piss me off.

I have much more than that available for the SPL enclosure.

I know ... I know ... I'm not proud of myself for using the uber, but I'll be careful and I won't run at full tilt, either. Hence why I would have preferred to grab an L7 or an old Tempest, or something. I'll do my best at finding the res freq today, and yes, I'll use the hatch of the Mazda to my advantage (hopefully). CRX style enclosure had slipped my mind - seems like it might be a good idea. I'll have to ask around. I've never really dealt with the SPL side of things ... competition wise anyway.

I'm talking in-car here ... been tried and tested that 1.2 cubes sealed and ~ 2.5 cubes ported is optimal for this driver. It's incredibly bottom heavy. HT, yeah ... you're looking at a large enclosure with two 18" PR's and 2500 watts. I'll do a 2.5 - 2.75ish enclosure for daily, so let's just worry about the competition enclosure.

Comp box would be a lot larger than the daily box, and I'm going to be needing more trunk space shortly. Good idea if I was just going to run the large enclosure all the time.

Uber doesn't need a large enclosure to function at its best. I'm debating building two enclosures ... one for daily, and then one for the competition - one sheet of MDF should be plenty.

Story: 2x 'drag event here June 4th. Plan is to clean up, and there should be plenty of people there ... so I'll be representing TeamSSA to the max and push the site. Uber is in 1.2 cubes sealed. Not even going to begin to guess what the hell it is running on the meter, but I'd say 135 or under. Remember, I'm in the middle of nowhere, where sealed Type R's with 500 watts and MTX 6000's rule. I would have liked to get a 12" L7 or something to beat on, but I don't see that happening. So, looks like I'll have to deal with what I have ... the uber, and the US Amps MD2 (~ 1500 watts). I do have a pair of older 9515's, but they're toast and there isn't enough time for re-cones. So ... need a loud enclosure for the uber I guess. SQ ... recommended 2.5 cubes ported ultra-low. Specs as follows: Qms - 6.65 Qes - .41 Qts - .39 Vas - 78.2L Sd - 0.072 sqM BL - 31.5 Cms - 106.24 uM/N Mms - 427.53g Fs 23.61 Good for roughly 35mm one way linear, Xsus into the 40's. Doesn't seem to model real well from what I have looked at so far. Tough driver, not much real work experience. Have 38W x 20H x 17D to work with ... I'd eventually like to just keep this as a daily box, so I might just limit it to 17W x 16H x 20D ... which is still a fair sized enclosure ... large enough to go ported ... woofer will fire up (top of the box, baffle, is therefore 20 x 17). If space needs to be added, it'll be added width wise. I should just build something around 2.75 cubes or so, tuned ~ 32hz and call it a day. Just figured I'd throw up the specs to see if anyone has any bright ideas or insight.

IROC > Cobalt SS IROC > 4 door Neon (WTF?)

Ohhhh man I'm in deep ... after that stupid dentist thing. Haha, story time once I get back from golf.
