Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 575 Registered: Aug-06 | the Qs are working better in slightly smaller boxes. this box takes up a total of about 10.5 cu ft. i think the port was going to take up some length either way. he assured me the woofers would be very musical though and i could still acheive incredible numbers if i was to ever compete. |

Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 576 Registered: Aug-06 | Dustin, my box design was $30. I dont think the price varies much. Pete is one of the best. |

Silver Member Username: Waterboy2289Martinez, Georgia USA Post Number: 141 Registered: Jan-06 | Have you thought about what it is going to take to build that? It's going to be a VERY big pain in the a-ss. I hope you have excellent carpentry skills or the box is going to suck. I'm not saying its a bad design, just that it is needlessly complicated and if not built perfect, it will be $hit. Trust me on this, because I have bought designs from pete before....I faired much better designing my own boxes using win ISD, than with his designs. |

Silver Member Username: Waterboy2289Martinez, Georgia USA Post Number: 142 Registered: Jan-06 | jesus...I just took a longer look at that box and realized that it will be RETARDEDLY hard to build! BTW, your internal box volume before any displacements is only 8.397 cuft ...a little short of the 10.5 cuft you said. Cuft courtesty of http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/boxcalculator.asp |

Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 577 Registered: Aug-06 | sorry about your bad luck with building boxes. i dont get it, what looks so hard about it? and btw, i didnt say ANYTHING about internal volume. 10.55 cu ft outside deminsions, courtisy of windows xp calculator... |

Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 579 Registered: Aug-06 | yeah, this should be fairly simple compared to some bandpasses and horns i have built. its just a ported box, haha... |

Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 580 Registered: Aug-06 | yeah, this should be fairly simple compared to some bandpasses and horns i have built. its just a slot ported box, haha... |

Silver Member Username: Waterboy2289Martinez, Georgia USA Post Number: 143 Registered: Jan-06 | I have had no bad luck with building boxes. My only mistake was, in my early inexperience, to purchase designs from pete. Tell me what you gain by taking the effort to do a box like that when a typical slot ported/bass reflex design can accomplish the same thing. I have indicated in the included picture "what looks so hard about it." All I have to say is why bother!

Silver Member Username: Waterboy2289Martinez, Georgia USA Post Number: 144 Registered: Jan-06 | With an 8.397 internal box all you would need is a 3.5 x 24 x 18 inch slot port to give you a 32hz tuning(of course that is a tuning of 32hz with no displacements included yet). If you are skilled enough to be building bandpasses and horns, then why are you spending money to purchase a slot port design? It's not hard to design a slot port box, and there's no need for it to be as complicated as petes. |

Silver Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 706 Registered: Mar-06 | I agree that it is needlessly complicated but I'm not buiding it |
|
Silver Member Username: Waterboy2289Martinez, Georgia USA Post Number: 146 Registered: Jan-06 | haha....I am aware of that |
|
Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 581 Registered: Aug-06 | dude, seriously... i like petes designs. i like the way boxes sound when i have built them with extra long ports. and again, you have misunderstood me. i am skilled enough to BUILD, not DESIGN. Pete, designed an awesome box, now im gonna build one... /conversation |

Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 2168 Registered: Jan-06 | It is an SQ box not a SPL so the restriction of the longer port won't matter. Probably the reason for the complicated design is to ensure he gets to build it and someone else won't attempt it, lol. Polo. |
