Posted February 23, 200817 yr alright so i currently have the rl-p in 3 cubes sealed. sounds sweet, just not that great of lows and just a tad under how much output i wish to have. i am currently writing up 2 box plans 1 of which i will choose and build tomorrow. they are as follows.4 cubes at 30hz with 55.5 square inched of port area3.5 cubes at 28.5hz with 40 square inches of port area.see any problems with the designs or favor one over the other? opinions?this build is in a hatch and it will be sub up port back. double baffled and 45's at the all corners if i can help it (limited tools here)also if interested, to see what im dealing with, check out my gallery for unfinished pics of the current setup of said sealed box. i carpeted it black since then.

February 23, 200817 yr Admin If you are looking for more output the larger box with higher tuning will help. But I would stick with what SoundSplinter lists on the website or wait and see what Mike says.
February 23, 200817 yr Author yeah i was leaning towards the larger box. i think just going from sealed to ported will give me my desired output and maybe then some, i still desire the flattest response i can get as well hince not tuning a bit higher as suggested. though i doubt i will notice a change in tuning of 2 hz or so anyway.
February 26, 200817 yr Author i went with the 4 cube enclosure!! dry fithttp://a121.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/image...de366f242d8.jpgthanks to brian for the wood and help!http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_image...40_106_full.jpghttp://memimage.cardomain.net/member_image...40_108_full.jpghttp://memimage.cardomain.net/member_image...40_109_full.jpghttp://a685.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/image...eed965c9c8c.jpgsome vidshttp://www.teamssaudio.com/video/play.php?vid=202http://www.teamssaudio.com/video/play.php?vid=203it came out great, loots of output, so much i turned my gain down to better blend with the front stage. it sounds amazing still and its just what i wanted out of it. though i wouldn't mind losing some output for a lower tune.
February 26, 200817 yr Author i didt use mdf, i used some furniture grade wood that was like birch or something, its great to work with and lighter than mdf but a little stronger i think. i its nothing like what builds i see on this forum but i plan to stain it soon and might re sued the amp racks to black depending on how it looks. i still have some sanding to do but i have zero port noise so not much sanding there.
