It's finally finished.

Have you figured out a way to weigh it?

NICE!!!

It's tomorrow.

Is that in Houston? I can't believe I'm hijacking my own thread.

Will do. I'll PM you. BTW, my daughter is a junior at Lamar. awesome! im a junior as well She graduated from Westbrook in '05.

Don't be shy!

BJ, do you have a pic of someone standing beside the box? That may give more perspective than a coke can

Don't kill yourself over it. At this point I'm not prepared to come get it. Find it a nice corner for it to sleep in and put David close to it to keep it company till things line out around here. We're looking at no power for at least 3 weeks and gas shortages on top of that. Sadly audio is on the back burner at least in the short term. Carl

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. Hurricane Ike went through here and I'm currently running off a generator. It's supposed to be 3 weeks before the power is back on so my posting will be spotty at best. The terminals appear to be correctly orientated in the pic. Carl

Where are you getting the PR's from? I want to see some videos of this. The PRs are the Boston Acoustics GTR12s. Heres the only video i can find on youtube: I've never seen a box where the PR is the same size diameter as the active driver. Normally the PR is larger, or there's more of them.

And in an SQ install it is the front stage that will still be the limiting factor. 115dB out of a 10 isn't absurd, but that on a front stage will be extremely loud. I don't think the 10 will have trouble keeping up with my front stage. It's really nothing over the top. I'm going to run a set of Ozaudio components driven by a USamps MD-21.

That was my request. The carpet will get a little damp at times in the back of the van after a hard rain. It's hard to find weatherstrips for an 18 year old van and I didn't the box to warp if it were to get damp.

i dont think he is going for true sq but more towards great sounding bass thatll get decently loud. I guess I'm not quite sure what "true SQ" is then. My goal with the small box was for a good "tight" sub to compliment my front components. I didn't think I would need anything larger than a 10" sub to accomplish this. I'm more concerned with accurate reproduction as opposed to sheer volume. Yes I may play it loud from time to time and want it clear at those times also. Everyone likes to crank up their favorite song, I just want it to sound good when I do.

Now THAT'S funny.

believe a road trip is in my future as opposed to a freight bill.

It just happens to be what I have to work with. It should be loafing in my application. Headroom's a good thing right, especially for SQ?

Wow.

Sounds great! No job too big or too small

Unless you are throwing ridiculous power at that thing, I'd make the .35 box bigger. Closer to the .6 rec'd size... Ficar lists .2 to .6 cuft for the Q10 in a sealed configuration. I wasn't sure which way to go so I e-mailed them. Scott recomended .35 cuft net with .25 lbs of polyfill for some reason for SQ. I'll have 1000 watts available. Does that sound about right?

A 1990 GMC Safari van.

Looks great so far BJ. BTW, the 10"'er will be a Ficaraudio Q10. I'm building a SQ setup and my son is going for SPL (Duh). Transporting should be fun!

I meant port volume, not area.

No Oops, what does that leave you?
