Silver Member Username: A444w444mPost Number: 186 Registered: Oct-05 | can i c them? and which box would b louder and which goes lower, the 3.5 cu. ft. tuned to 32, or the 4 cubic tuned to 30hz? also, can i c the plans? and how much of that 3/4" mdf do i need 2 buy and what will it cost? |

Silver Member Username: Bga44Tampa Post Number: 169 Registered: Nov-05 | I spent $30 on MDF and i made 2 12" boxes and still have some left over. So it's not expensive at all compared to buying a box. Find out what dimensions your box is and then buy that amount. Home Depot cut the MDF for me for free |

Silver Member Username: ScubasteveCollege Park, MD Post Number: 829 Registered: May-05 | alright, first off, go with 4' box tuned to 30Hz. As for the material, go with ATLEAST 1" MDF, i'd go with even thicker for the baffle, and brace the box liberally. As for the dimensions, figure them out yourself. Start with any size constraints of the place where the box will be going, and figure out the rest from there. If this is really that difficult, i'm sure you could pay any experienced box builders on here a few bucks to do it for you, don't just ask the forum to design you a custom box. |

|
Silver Member Username: A444w444mPost Number: 200 Registered: Oct-05 | well if i use the calc on the12volt.com, does the port length count the inch of wood where the port starts? like if it says the port depth needs to be 3 in, do i cut a 3 in piece of pvc pipe or do i cut 4 if the wood is 1" thick? also, rovin, i don wanna make a sealed box bc ill eventually go to a ported box, and i cant afford to build to boxes. im gonna b pretty low on cash now that i found out i gotta get a new alt, batt. |

Silver Member Username: A444w444mPost Number: 203 Registered: Oct-05 | ok listen this is the only thing i need 2 no: i used the port calculator on the12volt.com, and if it says the port needs to be (for example) 3 in deep, and i hav 1" thick wood, do i cut a 3" or 4" piece of pvc pipe? also, will using pvc pipe to make a circular port work as well as a rectangular port? and is there anything else i should no about when working on the ported part? |
