some of my buddies at school are trying to get some information on snailshell enclosure construction...i know what the internals look like, but i have no idea how to calculate anything...does anyone happen to have a diagram and calulations of how to propery build a snailshell....thanks

This is another one of them spin off from them p4sound fags isnt it?

Around here we havent heard much or seen anything with snailshell boxes. To be quite honest I dont think anyone here cares.

Simple fact is the standard ported rules the roost here and in the competition lanes. If you want loud, go ported.

If you are a mega SPL freak and that is simply ALL you care about 6th order bandpass is for you.

I think there is only one person on the board who has made one of them, GlassWolf...

cough cough just made a fourth order cough cough ill post pics later. but the snail shell is used alot for mtx 9500s thats about the only woof i know that does any good in them so if there not running a 9500 then tell them to get a custom ported box.

a lot of people think im nuts but i dig 4th order......if your creative it lets you do things in small pickups you couldnt normally do...

exatly i think you can do much more with 4th order in a small space than you can with other boxes.

I think the Bose Acoustimass Sub box is a snail design...why not use that one?

terry you youll have to see my arc audio truck coming up with a 2 4th order 10"s

there are a few people on SIN using snail shell boxes with RE subs... try posting at carstereos.org ?

Yeah I remember seeing a few people use them with adire brahmas..
