why i like to tune low for certain subs is 1 to get a flat response on my plotting software and it will play all the freq you would ever want at a decent output. ill throw those specs into my program and figure out a decent box for you.

alright to get a flat response on my program it wants to see that sub in a 6.42 tuned to 20.6 so i dont htink you want to go that big. so i tried a 3 cube tuned to 26.08 and it does pretty nicely dosnt look to much differnt than the JL box so since your concernd with room i would go with the jl box. and if you could make it 30x15x15.5 then your tuning will be right. if that wont fit i can redo it some.

ok. 30 inches wide you mean? if thats the case, then yeah i could most likely fit that. but i think for the gains i'd be receivving it'd be worth it.

thanks for all your help, if we can figure everythign out, maybe nextmonth i'll actually do it.. i need to finish dynamating my trunk and figuring out what is causing one of my panels to rattle so bad.

is all this before port displacement? or after?

But hey, do i keep the same port tuning as JL reccomends or what? with tthe 30x15x15.5 box.

JL reccomends a 15.5" tall port, 1.5" wide. instead, could i make it 15"tall, 2.0" wide? 31" Deep with a 13.5" extention. im going to get the mdf soon, i don't have quite enough for this box. but im also going to try and get it done between today and tommorow, woot.

effin great, i wasted $30 at home depot only to find out that i barfed the entire thing up because i can't cut straight. actually, i was going pretty good until i started chopping part of my table off. i think im just going to pay justin or someone to draw up blueprints and then pay the shop near me $150 to build it.

comming up with the cuts, unfortunently, is not my problem. im pretty sure i had it down, its just i can't cut worth shit and i don't have any shop like thigns to go with, ie.. righit now, i'm cutting off of a frickern plastic lawn table with spare mDF holding what im cutting down. :D
