I think he is wanting to know the do's and donts of bracing, basic shape, and other important keys.

A lack of spring or pressure on a woofer by its enclosure, which can lead to out-of-control vibrating.

I hear ya. I'm trying to get a couple things pattened and its crazy how carefull I am now about giving certain information to certain people. Good luck with your endeavors. Sorry for going off topic. I like the porno idea better.

I have a ext cab pick up and i put the subs/port firing forward and it was loud then i put the box so the subs/port were firing up and... fuckin aye did it make a big difference! i suggest trying that.

The best enclosure volume for what drivers?

He needs to just throw a bowling ball at it lmfao

He will help ya out

Looks like someone didn't take your advice. Sorry about the bad news dude

But smashing it would be so much more fun.

You have to love the talent, but WHY? The "POS" GMC above won a SHIT load of trophies because of its beauty. The talent it takes to make a truck look like that is unbelievable.

Loud is a word that can be defined differently by each of its own. So, i don't know what you mean when you say loud. Also, you shouldn't decide on the equipment you are going to get on the factor of what will sound louder in a sealed box because thats asinine.. you should research the equipment you are wanting and figure out what kind of enclosure best suits the driver. I have only seen people buy drivers based on what enclosure it would be best in is when space is the main issue.

If the bass boost is off though, won't I have to turn up the gain to make up for the loss? The gain is not a volume knob... ina sense.

GET THE SUNDOWN YET?!

I love Alpine, i'm sure you will too. The box looks unique, did you clear coat it? Whats your plans for sub/port placement? Fatmat FTL

I'm pretty sure I got that issue sittin' around here...somewhere... So do i i actually know him, I hung out with him and the guys who painted and airbrushed his truck at the last Sema show. He's selling it though.. One Of A Kind Show Truck

"Our Kits include oversized (Kolossus) Power Cable. With 2058 Strands of Tinned Oxygen Free Copper, no other manufacture offers a 4 gauge cable like this." - KnuKonceptz I recommend them if you want to get better wire. I believe it is 45-50 dollars for a 4 gauge amp kit.

If he's done work for SEMA, I'd say he's also over my budget. Being out of area isn't really a big deal, I wouldn't care to ship it. Nope, he's very reasonable and respects other peoples wallets. I am getting my amps, truck, and interior done from him. Well, you think you could maybe show him the picture and ask him for an estimate? I'd appreciate it man. The UPS man JUST NOW brought my amp, it's awesome! On the birth sheet it says it does 1796 watts at 1 ohm. I can't wait till my BTL gets here and I get this shit hooked up. Are you wanting that done to your amp? -- i missed it if its listed somewhere but what amp is it? Dimensions? Do you just want the face of the amp airbrushed?

If you need air couldn't you just bust the window? -- i might be thinking too ghetto...

Enclosures: 
BTL 12 – Ported box we recommend using 1.75-2.5 cubic feet @ 30-35Hz (I personally think that a 32hz tuning is optimal, and has the most output and is still the most musical daily driving). Use 12-16 square inches of vent area per cubic foot of volume.
 
BTL 15 – Ported box we recommend using 3-5 cubic feet @ 30-35Hz. Again use 12-16 square inches of vent area per cubic foot of volume.
 
BTL 18 – Ported box we recommend using 5-8 cubic feet @ 30-35Hz tuning, you can tune a little higher if you wish but we recommend keeping it close to 32hz for a daily driver. Again the same 12-16 square inches of area applies per cubic foot of volume. -- Fi:

This might be too opinionated.. Do you research on drivers you've listed and get opinions on them with that amount of air space and tuning.
