Title: sub enclosures.....
Post by: kniterider on 11 October 2004, 14:55

If ya already got the speaker it will tell ya minimum volume - prob in cubic feet.
So to give yourself a bit of a front panel you will need a 12" x 12" to sit the speaker in. Then ya can make the depth of the box to suit the volume.

Hope u've still got the box or the literature then.

If not try the manufactureres website, might give ya the info needed.

1 to 1.5 cu ft is usually enuff.

Thats just over 2 cu ft. If those are external dimensions then it will be a bit smaller but will still be near to 2 cu ft.

So that should be a good size.

yeah there external measurements, and the mdf is 3/4" thick, so hopefully will sound ok when done, gonna have to see how it sounds with the port open and closed before i carpet it......
