Subwoofer Project FINISHED!!! (Enclosure Dimensions Included)

[Essam Khafagi]

Same dimensions on the first page but reduce the upper box thickness to be 11.5 instead of 13.5.. you can use any plate thickness u want from 1.8cm to 0.8cm.. don't forget, the dimensions are "outter"

[Essam Khafagi]

u can also do a design like this:

X5world - View Single Post - JL Stealthbox vs. BSW Sub

Thanks Essam..

The box in the other post, has it bigger in volume then yours.?

Also, do you recommend 11,5cm all the way over.?


Thanks again.

Since I am reading this, I'll share my experience. I did mine 11.5 straight across because I thought there wasn't enough volume to be gained to make an angled one necessary.

It would be interesting to build a series of boxes in bigger and bigger sizes. They wouldn't fit, but the sound comparisons might be meaningful. Or not. I have the feeling that there is a difference between the small size we have been making and the optimum size. However, it might not be noticeable unless you do an A B comparison.

Hi Carlgo.

What about the sound from your box.?

Happy enough..?

Im thniking about just doing the 11,5 straight over to reduce the work..

Yes, very happy. Would it be better if one could squeeze an extra liter or two out of it? I don't know and since I have no way to compare, I am happy in my ignorance. It is better than the previous 8" sub in a bigger, free-standing box and it is hidden happily away.

I am not convinced that the little wedge shape would add enough internal volume to be worth the extra work so I went 11.5 straight across.

[Essam Khafagi]

yes the other box has more volume...

as for the depth, you can make it angled... 11.5 at the near end behind the tail light and 13.5 at the far end

[ekvals]

More volume is usually preferred to get a "fuller" bass sound.. But there is'nt any measures on that page, so i'll guess im going for your design..

As i understand you are quite happy with it.?

[ekvals]

I did some calculation, and using 0.8 plates on front and back, 1.8 on the sides.

With 11,5 all the way, i got a volume of 8.15 litres..

Does that sound right.? Its a bit less then preferred, is'nt it.?

Just do the box and you will like the sound ... dont bother with calculations
