Damn bubba, you have some sick pictures from oregon! Those are some great camping spots as well. Just beautiful up there. Keep em comin if you got em.

Nice work. Those little guys are taking a beating huh? A 1500D at .5ohm will do that!

Im guessing you meant comparable. In fact it is. When you buy from a car audio shop, they will gouge you pretty good. Sounds like you just payed way too much but that doesnt matter anymore. The SAZ should be on sale too, I think.

Looks like a lot of fun. I see you have a bubble buster there too. Quite the badass tool if you ask me. Its a must in a couple different sizes when doing fiberglass.

Originally I thought my enclosure specs were very close to these, tuning and volume wise: 42W" x 22H" x 22D" - outer dimensions= 9.84961ft3 gross volume 7.3ft3 net volume tuned to 32Hz 6W" x 20.5H" for 123in2 of port area port 1-14.5" + port 2- 7" = 21.5" port length After reading through Chops end correction thread, Ive decided to do the math myself and find out what Ive really got. This is what Ive come up with. Im way off... The port length is actually 27.5". I had no idea how to measure the port. The tuning is more like 30.3Hz port volume calculation: 6W" x 20.5H"=123in2 123in2 x 27.5"=3382.5in2 3382.5in2/1728in2= 1.96ft3 of port volume 9.84961ft3-1.96ft3(port volume)-.26ft3(driver displacement)= 7.89ft3 net volume Now with end correction, I have come up with these numbers. The port length is 30.5". The tuning is actually 29.1Hz 123in2 x 30.5"= 3751.5in2 3551.5in2/1728in2= 2.17ft3 of port volume. 9.84961ft3-2.17ft3-.26ft3= 7.42 ft3 net volume So now my specs stand corrected. The new numbers are: 42W" x 22H" x 22D"= 9.84961ft3 gross volume 7.42ft3 net volume tuned to 29.1Hz 123in2 of port area So in summation of enclosure calcs like RE...they sure arent exact. I knew I was close but thought it was closer than that. Get yourself a calculator, pencil, and paper and do it the right way. Anything I missed or flubbed up?

Im sure it will be stable under one ohm. All SAZs are. Just not for warranty. If you are burping then Id say its fine. With music I believe the rms is enough.

Now I see where the 1.5" extra comes from. Thanks for clearing that up. These visual aids are awesome. Are you sure you dont want me to paypal you funds for a copy of this program?

That enclosure had some math going into it, I bet. Thats pretty good to get that close too. Actually this enclosure is already built. Just trying to figure out the real specs so I know where to go from here when I build a new one. Those guys that make enclosures on here are super busy. At least thats what Ive always heard.

No internal bracing on this enclosure. Only .169ft3 difference. What was your math for that? I used this except for the port ... Enclosure Volume Calculator (EVC) I did the port math real quick at work by hand. But am distracted so more than likely way off. What number did you use for the port volume in in3? That one threw me off. My port volume is in in2. Edit: brain fart, got it.

I'll be ready for the preorder on this.

Figures. Not quite sure where you got the extra 1.5" in the port length though. Measuring down the center of both ports, right? 14.5"+3"+3"+7"=27.5" physical length. Yes Im using .75" mdf. I do understand about the board volume. I did indeed forget to account that. I came up with .13ft3 for the first port board and .06ft3 for the second port board. Sound about right? How do I figure out the port volume in a way where it doesnt bother you? Seriously, what do you mean? How is it different for the turn?

Welcome dude. Fi is a nice choice.

Welcome Mark.

Welcome dude.

Welcome dude.

Welcome dude.

Welcome dude. What part of Cali are you from?

It seemed a bit confusing but the images on the JL site helped out a lot. Im a visual learner dude. I need the pics to really understand.

Very good stuff here. Im pickin up what yur puttin down. This has led me to figure my own out. Wow...Im off.

Thats not recommended at all. Only ported.Why do it if you know its not right?

A dual 2 ohm can be ran at 1 or 4. Its doubling going up and halving it going down to put it in simple terms.

I would recommend the SAZ1000 and wire it to one ohm. I think its still on sale too.

That definately looks good. Is that okay on the heat sink like that? Does it affect the heat dissipation?

Damn, thats a crazy looking enclosure. Nice wood work dude.
