Yeah I remember reading about a formula. But do you think I could find it in all my magazines. I do recall a general rule of thumb that you want the field of view to be no greater than 30 degrees.

Robert, Have you ever used fiberglass on a vented sub. Ive heard that fibers can be ejected through the port. I was wondering if this is true or not. In that same respect could it cause any problems with a sealed sub, say getting in the voice coil or something.

I have used both methods. The contact cement works by far the best and is actually not that difficult, especially if your doing mini monitors. If you have a router, get a laminate trimming bit. When you apply the veneer, us a large enough piece to over hang the edges, then just trim. You can...

Start at 1lb per cubic foot. Fluff or tease or whatever you call it just dont compact it. You want the fill to take up the complete cavity. Ive never used cotton, I typically use polyester fiberfill.

I recall reading somewhere that there is a rule of thumb for calculating the proper distance to sit from a tv. There were two numbers, one for 16x9 and one for 4x3. The 16x9 was an easy round number like 1.5 or something. Anyone know what the correct ratio is. I could flip through my old...

Yup, epoxy will hold just about anything. I have also used wood glue, liquid nails, and silicone. When box stuffing, I keep the stuffing away from the woofer and try to tease it or fluff it to fill the cavity. If you pack it tightly you negate the effects of stuffing.

Check out partsexpress.com I built a 12" Titanic. F3 is about 30 hz with 100 watt amp. I currently have one of their 250 amps on order to power the box. They have complete kits with all the wood already cut, or buy just the components and go at it on your own. They also offer great advice...
