Silver Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 852 Registered: Mar-04 | that box will prolly work, but the site doesnt say what that box is tuned to. I'll sell ya a box i built for an RE X.X.X. 12" that never got used for less than the box on that site. The box has never ever had a sub in it, its just taking up space in my garage. It is 2.5cu ft tuned to 35hz. |

Silver Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 725 Registered: Apr-05 | Hehehe. Don't use that box. Trust me, I tore one apart with my Eclipse Ti at 400 watts RMS. If you give that sub the power it wants, it'll blow any prefab box apart pretty quick. For $60 you could build you a nice custom box. That box is 2.28 cu/ft, tuned to 35Hz (I did all the math before I got mine for my last Eclipse). Go with a slotted box, 3cu/ft total, tuned to 35Hz (port should be 12"W x "H x 15"L). I know 3/4 MDF is $18 for a 4'x8' sheet here... |

Anonymous | i ended up buying a different box purchased box just because i liked the fact that it was 1 in think mdf and a huge box |
|
Anonymous | it says that it is a 83 sq port area- some1 told me that equaled out to about a 32 hrz tuning?? also the 3.32 cu ft will give it a massive amount of air to push |

Hope it works! And 32Hz is a better place to tune, IMHO. Gives you more extension, but not as loud. Good luck! |

Bronze Member Username: FirlefanzPost Number: 67 Registered: Jul-05 | Hi, when talking about wood, why do you use MDF? It is easier to work on but sucks up humidity and breaks out easily (screw holes, corners etc). Specially when maschine screws and self lock nuts are used. I just use 22 mm (little more than 3/4") birch wood multiplex - sorry don't know the correct phrase in English. It consists of layers of wood glued togehter. Its harder to work on, but far more stable. Besides most of the build boxes lack of triangles and stabilizing brackets, which are definetly need for a good enclosure. PLease don't seal boxes with silicon use acryl, cause of the evaporating acids. Have you run the tsp's thru WinLSD or other, what did it say? |

Anonymous | well what im planning on doing is using another seal to reinforce the already present "company" seal sound like a good idea- i thought it mihgt be -- if you dont please tell why up for any opinions on how i could make it a little stronger |

Silver Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 859 Registered: Mar-04 | ....um...i kinda hate to bust your bubble, but the deminsions on that box just dont add up. if you have a box w/ 83 sq in of port and it is 28"x 15 1/2"x 18 3/8"...and it is made of 1" mdf...it would be roughly 3.33cu ft (gross). it would be virtually impossible to have a slot-vent port in that box w/ a 83sq" opening!...the port would have to be larger that the box itselft!!! Who told you that box was tuned to 32hz???...it seems to me like that box is actually tuned at 45-50hz! (with the port being that big) |

Silver Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 860 Registered: Mar-04 | Those specs are a little more like it. It the volumes and port area are correct on those specs...that box tunes to roughly 34-35hz. should be a pretty good box. |
