I have sinned... :p

edit: actually, there's not much difference in the modeled response.. guess they just suck in a sealed box.. lol

The Fs is too high. Compare it to the DPL12 by adire🙂 real sealed box subs are less efficient.

 

[Volenti]

the sealed box that pioneer sell the subs in is WAY below the size pioneer reccomends... and honestly, you can tell.. 😛

60 litres for both, and they reccomend 45 each.. 😛

Actually it's just the enclosure that Pioneer sells em in that sucks, I've built a several custom fit enclosures for a customers using these and they sound as good as any sub in their price range.

it's all in the application

 

[SkinnyBoy]

I guess I should start designing and building the boxes now hey... lol

 

[mike.e]

haha! might be a good idea! what alignment are you going for?

 

[SkinnyBoy]

I'm just gunna stick em in 50 litres tuned to 30Hz... I have no time for horns atm...

 

[SkinnyBoy]

well, thats the last time I pay someone to cut wood for me... ya bunch of ******* 😛

 

[SkinnyBoy]

I only used 16mm MDF, I know its really too thin, but I intend to brace the box (I'm short a few pieces of MDF as they wouldn't all fit on the one sheet of MDF)

alyway, I basically have two sealed 65 litre boxes from a single 1200 X 2400 sheet of MDF.

the largest area on each box that doesn't have any bracing will be 35cm X 35cm so I figured 16mm would be fine 🙂

oh yeah, and I like screws 😀 somewhere around 150 per box. lol

 

[mike.e]

You have time to mark up,drill,and screw in 150 screws into a tiny box,yet you dont have the time to build a horn with 50 screws in it strange strange person my jbl 200L box has only ~60 their only their to hold the pieces while GLUEING

 

[SkinnyBoy]

what can I say... I like screwing... 😉

and theres the fact I'd have to design the horn... 😛 lol

and cut it all myself.....

so, ported it is... I can work on a horn and still be using the subs.. happy??

 

[mike.e]

You dont trust my horn designs🙄
I can make them real fast now.

and cut it all myself.....

use circular saw + guide

 

[SkinnyBoy]

nah, I trust your horn designs, just I'd rather design and fold it myself, so I can say I DID IT ALLL!!!! 🙂 plus I like rear loaded horns... lol remember? 😀

 

[SkinnyBoy]

yep..... lol 😀

it will be 50 litres tuned to 30Hz... the box isn't glued yet, and obviously I haven't countersunk the screws, I just dry assembled it cos I was bored... lol

 

[mike.e]

your wasting the earths resources putting screws closer than 100mm apart 😡
😡
😡

How are you gona finish it they arent counter sunk.

 

[SkinnyBoy]

I haven't countersunk the screws.. YET!!! 😛

and I have no intention of paining, etc the boxes...

 

[SkinnyBoy]

COUNTERSINKING!!!!

I need a drill press.... lol but this works well 🙂🙂🙂

 

[mike.e]

so now you have to take out those ten thousand screws to counter sink them,then put them back in😀

 

[SkinnyBoy]

so now you have to take out those ten thousand screws to counter sink them,then put them back in😀

I've already countersunk the 150+ screws on one box... lol 😛

 

[SkinnyBoy]

YAY!!!!

nothing glued, but I had to assemble it to drill the holes, it all fits together PERFECT!!! slot port bracing.. 🙂

 

[SkinnyBoy]

looky....

why do I always post pics of boring stuff I do? lol

 

[xstephanx]

Box is looking good! i would have used more bracing.

Just to brag i just finished making the end caps for my sono sub, and holy hell, MDF makes ALOT of sawust, and it gets everywhere, youre eyes, your lungs, your nose, EVERYWHERE!
and oh yeah, if you use a router to make wooferholes, jus remember WEAR A MASK! i wish did
