cargodz told me that i need to build a ported box that is 63"W x 21"T x 21"D for my 18's

any possibility i can get you to use ur cool little program and make me a picture of what this box should look like completed, including in your opinion were the ports should be and what size.the manual that came with the subs recomends 3 - 4" ports that are 16" long.

it can be as good or as bad as u want, i dont want u to take up ur hole daye makin the pic or anything, i just kinda need a visual to look at as i build it. the sealed box is ez, the ports are my problem.

ps. anyone else that has experience building boxes and could make me a picture, it would be helpfull, i just figure bill had quite a bit of experience with spl, and i im sarting to lean more and more tord going that direction.

Dude...

Just like a sealed with 3 4" holes in it then.

Try to keep the ports 4" from the walls of the enclosure...

thats not unnecessarily true Ryan it only need to be 4 inches from the opening. ill draw something up tomorrow if i get a min. also if you want i can just build it.

i woud love to have you help if we lived closer, but not only do i like getting my hands dirty and learning stuff as i go along, i also think shipping would kill me.

i have all the tools to do it, ive just never built something that is so complicated, i normally make little single ported boxes for like an 8 inch sub.

im gonna use broach cutters (look like a drill bit with a round sw aroudn ti and cuts a perfect circle) to cut out the port holes.

and i have a um, wut the hell is that thing called, the saw that the blade looks like a drill bit and u trace the line.

then both a circular saw and a table saw to cut the squares

the website says

8.4" mounting depth
18.7" mounting diameter

is that what you need?

cargodz · Post by **cargodz** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 12:17 am

Actually the mounting depth is 8.9" and the mounting diameter on those is 16.7"

Thought I'd throw that in real quick before Bill makes up a design and then you start cutting later on down the road and your subs fall through the holes.
