I did a rough calc on time plus material on a flat pack 1/2" MDF version of this enclosure.

$60 plus shipping.

Why MDF lets face it it is mainly for a car. Most of us will carpet it or spray it with bed liner. I'll do this over the weekend and post a pic or two.

Flat pack includes a CD of how to assemble the little beast. Step by step pictures to guide the bass starved savage beast. All lines on the top and bottom plate traced out. Tab A fits into slot B. All pieces cut to fit and annotated as in part a...... you get the idea. All angles bisected and ready to fit together. As cookie cutter as is humanly possible.

You supply tape, glue and a wire mounting cup. Weather stripping is required for sealing the drivers to the baffles and if you plan on getting back into the box one day.

Want Baltic birch add $18

Want it assembled with a connector cup:

MDF $100

Baltic Birch $118

If this thread is still a Mark only enterprise you can e-mail me directly from the forum link to the left.

edit: one day I have to teach my fingers to let go of the shift key at the right time.

Do the plans include a schem for a crossover or lowpass filter?

Ill go back and have a look at the frequency response in the other thread but it will be august or september before i can do anything

mwmkravchenko · 26th June 2009, 02:53 AM

Wiring schematic is included.

As it is to be used mostly in a car there is usually the requred x-over either on the amp driving it or the head unit. But if you don't have either here is a link to something very economical:

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=266-440

You will find something there to work for you guaranteed. And you cannot buy the parts for a x-over cheaper never mind put it together for less.

lol really?
A lowpass filter is a load with a cap tied in parralel
it performs poorly but it only costs a couple cents.

Thanks for the link though.
ill let you know in a few months. im assuming pms or email work ok?

mwmkravchenko · 26th June 2009, 03:58 AM

Hi bacon665

You are talking line level x_over as in signal line level. And yes you can do that for pennies. The link was for someone who knew a little less than you.

P.M. is just fine.
