Props for all the work you have done so far! Geeez that is a ton!

Sorry if I don't quite see what you are trying to build. But is that a port at the top of the box going out of the back? But then the full picture it appears to me to be sealed..?

Technically you can use on of these blueprints from SSA itself: Sound Solutions Audio - 10" DCON Small Ported Enclosure then just grab a enclosure calculator, and cut some of the measurements until you get the Volume you would like. What kind of sub is it?

I've never heard or seen anyone making boxes out of Oak? Does it work well?

Now it's being in the process of being installed! should be done within the next few days when we find time.

Choose one that works well with MDF or wood for that matter.

The box is COMPLETE! Finally! Let me know what you guys think, for my first ever box! All Black and RDS artwork done. Completed, and all wired in!

All sanded and ready for paint... Port re-painted and some edging around the sub square... First all black coat sprayed on. NOT liking how the sides of MDF look with the black right now... Going to do some artwork tomorrow on it. make it a bit more appealing and less blank!

If you are asking, yes that is a wall mounting terminal cup; but it was the only thing I could find without having to order online. I also know that it doesn't look good at all, but I am going to try and do up something creative to make it look not as bad. I also have to do a bit more clean up and re cocking since I had to drill a bit more. But I will now we painting and doing the artwork on the box, then wiring, then sealing the top down and I should be good to go to put it in the jeep.

This is a box I am building for a friend. For an 8" Kicker L5, There is very minimal space in his Jeep TJ, so the height is pretty much no give for the size of the sub, even though it is an 8". This is the first box I have ever built before, so I know it may seem a bit rough in some parts, but I am working on it to make it look good for my buddy. If you guys have any comments about it to make it better, please let me know! after all i am only a beginner! Thanks! 0408001333.jpg picture by jaketrials - Photobucket 0409001306.jpg picture by jaketrials - Photobucket 0409001306a.jpg picture by jaketrials - Photobucket 0409001306b.jpg picture by jaketrials - Photobucket

Okay. So I have the measurements for the box. Just needing to know what to tune it too for the port? Width: 22", Height 1: 11", Height 2: 8", Depth: 9, Thickness: 0.75 MDF = 0.71181 <--- Measurements of the wedge box enclosure #2. Slot port: Port Width: 2", Port Height: 9", Box Volume: 0.71", Tuning: ?? = Port Length: ?? I put down a couple guessing frequencies to start, which were; 33 = 59", 34 = 55", 35 = 52". I feel like if im using those frequencies i wouldnt be able to make the port that length? Subwoofer Enclosure Calculators, Fraction to Decimal, Parallel, Series, Port Length and Volume Calculators <--- Calculator im using.

Should I just measure out what I think the box should be, and then put the measurements into the calculator. Then I guess fiddle around with the measurements until the cubic feet is correct?

I have never built a box for a sub before, and now I am going to be building one for a 8" Kicker L7. This is going to be put into a Jeep TJ, so it does NOT have much trunk space at all. I am not too worried about the size of the box, because I can dimension it to the size of the trunk myself. What I am worried about and have no clue is how to make the port inside the box. I need to know how much space I need in the port to get the most air. Although it is an 8", I want it to perform the best it can through the box. I am looking on Kicker's website and these are the dimensions it says: Mounting Depth (IN.,CM) 4-3/4, 12.1 Mounting Cutout, Square (IN.,CM) 7-1/4, 18.4 Min Rec Sealed Box Volume (CU. FT., Liters) .33, 9.4 Max Rec Sealed Box Volume (CU. FT., Liters) .75, 21.2 Min Rec Vented Box Volume (CU. Ft., Liters)** .66, 18.6 Max Rec Vented Box Volume (CU. Ft., Liters)** 1.0, 28.3 I dont know if there is any other dimensions to give, but I could find them? Also, I understand that minimum cubic feet is .66 for the box. But is there a special formula to determine length, width and height for the cubic feet dimension? Also, if anyone knows where I get the wire connectors that are usually attached on the outside of the back of the box that would be great!
