Can I post yet?? Anyway, I thought I'd try again to show off my newest, latest and greatest! Please check it out haemphyst’s new system (I hope that's an allowable link, seriously.)
It's already built! You have to get all the way to the end to see it! Many pictures of the enclosure construction, as well as few reviews. I'm as happy with it as I have ever been with ANY system in any car I have ever done, and even MORESO, because I did it all!
A 50 inch port WOULD be huge, but I couldn't get it all to fit, the way I wanted it to, so the 50 inch port morphed into a true transmission line. 1.2 cubic feet with 50 inches (length) of 15^2 inches (area) of port, would have been an Fb of 24Hz, or thereabouts. Thanks... the finish I chose is called "Fleckstone"
nice haem...I've been watching your thread since the beginning. I really like that box...how does it sound??
I like it... No, I'd hazard "LOVE" it. Deep, tight, fast, and loud enough for me, I was able to get 114dB pink noise, (@ about 750 watts input) average from 18Hz to 65Hz - with the radiating area of one 10" woofer, with only 375 watts powering it! A small 2dB hump above 20Hz to around 30Hz offers some really nice, reasonably true sub-bass performance. Super musical, it isn't even there, until it needs to be. Even with the crossover point as high as it is - at 62Hz - FAR higher than I normally would choose; I like MUCH lower crossover points, especially with shallower slopes. The 48dB crossover slopes make it blend perfectly with the front stage, it sounds like the subs are installed in the kickpanels. No image smearing at all! Not too bad, really!
