A few square feet will make a huge diffrence!

[Robbo]

So what if i've not measured sub box, i have neevr met anyone in my life whose calculated it, most people do builds for looks.

youve not been slated a question was asked for you to think about and improve YOUR install but obviously you wanna be right and dont want to listen to people with experience

a few square feet wont make a little difference, it will make a huge difference, as in a thread shortly saying my sub sounds rubbish why?

[Salmon1]

yeh mate, point taken

[Connor_scotland]

have you built anymore of it dude

[Salmon1]

its all built, just stuggling with time to post.

got a new chick who lives 15miles away and there evry night.

Right have i worked out Cubic area correctly-

Length x breadth x hieght- 3.38x1.42x1.17 = 5.615

then devide by 2 which = 2.807


Then the other rear part- LxBxH- 3.38x1.17x0.58= 2.293

then decivide by 2 = 1.146

Then add the two together to give total Cubic area-

2.807+1.146= 3.953cubic feet.

But my subs only require 0.85 cubic feet each????


What shoud i do, just make it a bit smaller by adding mdf???

cheers.

[Saxo-Slag]

Try making the correct size boxs and attach them to the front mdf board with holes in if you get me

[Salmon1]

nah thatll look shite.

decided what im gonna do

Add in mdf to creat an open space in the middle and act like a sperate box for each sub

[l1ukeRS]

fill it full of padding out of an old bed sheet to reduce the cubic capacity a bit

[Connor_scotland]

qaulity mate get some piccys up

[Salmon1]

Well due to the Type R subs being too big iv sorta had to redo some of it.

Ive had to chop the 5" false floor down to 3" and make new sides.


Done it all last night though, ill do an update once its all finished on sunday hopefully.

Well obvo not covered or that, but everything else done.

[Connor_scotland]

sweet mate looking forward to seeing it

[DaveWard]

So you have now learned a valueble lesson in life. Dont make anything till you know exactly whats going in to it!

[Mark51p]

why dont you take the top of the box off, make the boxes the right size for the subs and then put the top that you took off back on and cut the holes for the ubs so you can't see the nails, it looks mint and will sound alot better with the right size box

[rob_s]

good guilde mate might have ago at doin mine
