Looks neat-o

Curious to know how you like it...

Well, I like the way it looks and fits, but it just doesnt sound as good as my single rl-p The mcd is alittle much, I can hear the cones bottoming out?? I guess that is what I hear. Tried doing some adjusting, but it will in now way play as loud as the rlp. Sounds good at regualr volumes though, maybe not quite as clear, but I am no pro...I just know what I think sounds good. probably gonna switch back to the rlp though..

I bet you its because the chamber sizes are different. might help if you port the first one into the second one to share airspace.

Or use polyfill to help increase response in the first one. Either way, I bet its because of the two different sizes.

it's an isobaric box, i'm pretty sure you dont want the 2 chambers to be the same size

acid's right, in this type of iso, the front chamber only needs to be big enough for the back speaker not to hit the front speakers magnet. I may have actually built it a tad too big. BUT, it does sound decent, just wont get real loud. BUT, then again, these woofers aren't made like the rl-p either...

yeah, i thought it was kind of large as well, you could alwas put slugs in around the walls to bring down the volume more if you think it'd make a noticeable difference

Isobaric will REQUIRE twice the power as a single woof setup...

Im sure the mcd is giving it the powerit needs. These subs are 200w rms, and they are seeing 300w rms with the mcd @ 2ohms. Since I have a total of $50 in this box with the speakers included, I'll probably just donate it to a friend, and go back to my rl-p
