Just wanted to get an idea before i submit it for building. Yes im gonna have the sub firing towards the rear of the trunk with the port opposite the drivers side like you said and have the sub off center closer to the driver with the 38" left over for the sub. By the way, what is the freq of the port ? |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8491 Registered: Dec-03 | I didn't calculate it. I read through so many threads here, if I stop to do that, I lose all my new post flags lol by the way after you get Phil there to build the box.. tell him I helped you design it. That guy is an assmonkey. We got into an argument on another forum about enclosure materials and all he could do is resort to childish name-calling. At that point I gave up even bothering, and no longer send anyone to that place for work. |

I will be sure to tell him that GlassWolf helped me design it. lol He built me a ported box for a 12w6v2 and it came out very nice. I wonder what triggered you guys to argue. Oh well. Thanks again |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8517 Registered: Dec-03 | someone asked about using birch for a sub enclosure because he wanted something lighter than MDF for a sportcar, to save weight. I suggested using fiberglass instead, as birch thick enough to work well would not save much if any weight, and birch works well for full range home cabinets, but not as well for low frequency/sub enclosures due to it's natural resonance. Phil then jumped in and told me what a moron I am, how I don't know anything, and how the kid never mentioned fiberglass and I should just STFU and he could use bich, blah blah blah then the kid backed down and said weight didn't matter that much after all, and the argument went on from there. Phil was trying to look impressive to show off, and everybody on the forum worships him like he's got a c*nt, so after listening to a bunch of idiots who can't even build a speaker box try to tell me that Phil knows more than I could ever hope to learn, I told them to have fun in their blissful ignorance, and left the forum altogether. Phil struck me as a pompous @$$hole and after that point I really had no more interest in giving him work or clients. I don't really care if he can grow a maple tree out of his wazoo and build an 8th order box from it. I think he needs to grow up and learn how to treat potential customers and people who give him a lot of business he probably never even realized he was getting by way of someone else. |

It has recommended this website woodlawncabinetry.com on there and i checked him out. I paid $100 plus $25 shipping for the 12w6v2 ported box he built me. Do you build boxes glass ? Unless i can find someone else ill probably have phil build me the Eclipse Ti ported box. |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8541 Registered: Dec-03 | couldn't really do it with shipping and make it affordable. I don't have a commercial contract with UPS for ground shipping so I'd pay a fortune to send something that size. go with Phil.. it's cool. If you're happy with that box he built ya last time, then you'll like the new one just as well, and that's what counts. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 1760 Registered: Feb-05 | Yeah cause i think your in the midwest and shipping is expensive. Im in the east coast maryland to be exact and Phil is in PA so shipping is much easiar with him. Thanks anyways man. Wish you were local, i whould pay you to install my whole system and take pictures. |
