makes me want to crawl in there and fall asleep, looks great!

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

it was $470 with shipping which was around 150 bucks. And because I had to go to Haiti for a week and delayed the build process I gave them a big discount.

Great work!

[gadgeteer123 21]

yay Just curious but why is there a slight hump around the top plexi window? otherwise great work

[gadgeteer123 21]

Also A+ job on the carpet.

Before I saw this box, I was proud of mine !!!

But now,...!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

[gadgeteer123 21]

If your box is the one in your display pics its a pretty nice box, only real difference is mine has windows. Now me trying to get the turquoise neon in there so you can't see the neon itself from the outside is gonna be tricky.

[gadgeteer123 21]

Yay, hopefully my new sub enclosure is gonna arrive monday. I will update you guys with pics once its all together.

[emh9009 199]

what all are you putting together? you make it sound like you're putting the box together lol

[gadgeteer123 21]

Well if you read through this topic i think it says a xcon, not sure, but ya i'm putting a "15 ssa xcon in there with a neon.

[emh9009 199]

i've read it a couple times, just not today

[gadgeteer123 21]

ok, i can't wait to get it , plus i get my license back on the 19th, so i can have my new box with my somewhat new sub, and I can get to hear it at full power for the first time

[emh9009 199]

should beat. congrats on license again.

I thought the same when i was looking through the pictures, then i saw this post and i was like HEY! lmfao.

Carpeting the inside of a box effect performance any? maybe.. idk.. add a little more DBs if you know what im sayin'

[gadgeteer123 21]

ya, I got the carpet because I think it looks nicer with the light and all, but I have thought about it and wondered if it would improve sound at all?? as in how some people put padding in there box's to make the sound not reflect around the inside of the box. hopefully it does help, then that would be sweet.

I doubt it helps, but i know if you have a pure plexi glass box it effects the sound waves, i wonder if carpet effects something.

[gadgeteer123 21]

i figure that to. we can just wait for a real pro to pitch in and see what he says.

[BanginGMC 23]

I hope it has no effect, cause it looks pucking sexy and i would do the same to an enclosure like so.

I've played around with meters alot, and from my experiences with carpeting you will lose output. I've lost it every time on the outside of an enclosure, so my guess is that it'd hurt on the inside too. I'm sure it's going to hurt port velocity, and I would assume it would act like a very mild dampener, and may lower box tuning slightly.

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

The carpet will act like polyfill slowing airflow making the enclosure seem larger, which would make tuning higher not lower. With the minumum amout of area the carpet takes up, you will not hear any audible difference. And it will not affect port velocity because the carpet does not enter the port.

Dude, I'm not knocking your boxes, that box is sexy enough to fornicate with. Your making what your satisfied customer is asking for, and delivering it to him nicely.

I agree that the carpet filling capabilities won't change tuning by a significant amount. The carpet would raise it slightly though, you're right Even though it does not go inside the port, I still would believe that carpet inside the box could potentially upset the velocity of the air before it makes it to the port., which could in turn, slightly lower port velocity.

I've gained .6 db on the meter by glassing, sanding, and waxing the inside of my box with out touching my port. (I ran out of resin) Smoothed fiberglass helped me, so I would assume something with a rougher texture than mdf (carpet) would potentially make you lose output. I'm sure it's less than 1 db so hearing will not detect the difference, but the meter would tell otherwise. Then again, maybe glassing just increased my box's rigidity enough that I gained because of that. I'm not sure....

Anyway, the box you're making is to customer specs and it's a daily driver setup that I'm sure is going to be a SQ monster and get loud doing it

[gadgeteer123 21]

I got the box today/monday, yay I will get pics up in a day or two, the sub and neons are installed Its not in a car yet but it looks awesome and sounds pretty good for just sitting in my living room.
