**wall idea for "evlspl"

[Hugh G. Rection]

i was talking with "evlspl" about building the wall in his vehicle. we discussed possibly doing just the 4 subs he has now, just in a different enclosure.

this is the wall idea i had today for 4 subs. the odd shaped piece in the middle is the port. it would be lots of layers of mdf, cut with a router and a tracer bit. looks like this port area would work well with 25ft^3, and would look cool as hell at the same time.

what you guys think?

[nick]

not bad but can he Build it? or are you building it?

[xseveredveganx]

I think it's sick. I know one guy on meade's site did this same idea with 4 18 06 XXX's.

we were talking about him driving it to my house for a weekend.

how do you calculate port length with odd shaped ports like that?
looks pretty

[lil_italy773]

looks awsome man but dont think he will break windshield with it lol j/k wanted to add sum humour wish i was closer ill be driving thought metter on the 30th on my way back to FL

[Corey Anderson]

Just like any port, just find out the port area and wala

holla at me when you come through.

im not good with any thing other than circles or squares
how would you even be able to measure it?

there is a certain amount of "guesstimation" involved, but i can usually get it figured exact.

here is an easy way to alleviate the guesstimation... use something with a known volume, i.e. plastic rubbermaid tub, filled with packing peanuts or even water (if you are going to discard the piece if it is a porous material)... simply figure out what was displaced by weighing it or even counting the number of times you needed to refill the container with a specific volume of material (i.e. peanuts or water)... then apply basic math and adjust, similar method can be use for making irregular shaped enclosures when you glass... happy building and good luck, looking forward to the Build log...

ive heard that method before. hopefully he'll decide to give me the build. i really wanna get this thing rockin.

[profundus-sanus]

i was trying to visualize how you were gonna get port length out of that thing.
First thing that came to mind is thats gonna be a lot of baffles...
You just gonna do a double baffle from there keep stacking smaller squares big enough to cover the port and router those?

I definitely like the idea. Should look cool and not be too bad to get functional.

Couldn't you draw it up in some cad program and use that to give you an area?

it works like a charm... I believe he will be very well satisfied if he chooses you to do so...

make the pattern then trace onto wood and start cutting and stacking pieces until your desired length, then simply glue and sand smooth... with irregular shaped ports such as this, its all about layers...

i was going to suggest this, if it is a slightly porous material, you could just cover it in some fashion to keep the water getting in.

all thats being done is the displacement either way.

cant wait to see it ben

[unknownuser200]

nice ben .... looks like an intresting concept

Think you could drive to my house for a weekend to help me Hugh Its only a 11 hour drive.

simple math of figuring out what 3/4 thick of material displacement is and then just take length into account... no need to test the whole port(s) displacement, although you could if you really wanted too but scrap material used for test purposes is your best bet...

no, your more than welcome to drive down here though.

Here is an example, granted (sp) this one fuggly as fawk but it shows ya how it will work.
