    Help me finally finish my project!!!!! Need to calculate length of port!!

    Why would it bottom easily? Seems like it would bottom easier (quicker) in a ported enclosure since there is less "resistance" for the sub........it's not compressing air. Steve

    Help me finally finish my project!!!!! Need to calculate length of port!!

    Too small of a box????? Are ya' kidding me, this thing is huge (and very heavy!!). :) Heck, my Jensen 12" sub box has a port. Maybe I will just button it up and see how it sounds. I am so far out of the loop when it comes to figuring this stuff out that I'm just beating my head against the...

    Help me finally finish my project!!!!! Need to calculate length of port!!

    Also, when it says "port length", does it mean the entire distance of the port (which includes the flare), or just the length of the port before the flares? Or, for simple simons such as myself, should I just button the box up and leave it as a sealed box? :D Seems like an awful big box...

    Help me finally finish my project!!!!! Need to calculate length of port!!

    Ok, FINALLY going to finish this thing up. 12" Dayton DVC sub 250 watt Partsexpress plate amp Partsexpress 1" thick MDF cabinet (yes, 1"!!). Internal measurements are 18"x18"x18" Partsexpress port. Port is 3" in diameter. Question: How long should this port be? In the directions...

    Need receiver that will accept an equalizer.....which one?

    Personally, I feel an external equalizer gives a lot of extra "ooooopmh" to my music. My old SA-DX950, for all that it is (or isn't), does allow me to to equalize my music (CD). I like that. I feel the equalizer just adds a lot of "flavor" to the music experience. But then again, you're...

    Need receiver that will accept an equalizer.....which one?

    As much as I'm ready to upgrade my old Technics SA-DX950, it does have one thing that I like, and that's a tape monitor loop to accept my equalizer. What other receivers out there will do this? I would like to purchase the Pioneer 1014 or 1015.....will these do what I want? Thanks. Steve

    How can I lower the signal going to my subs?

    Thanks a lot, John. I was thinking either 70 or 100.......I'll give the 100 a shot. Thanks again. Steve

    Painting sub.....what to use?

    I like the "truck bed" black exterior look on subs. Is that what everybody is using......"truck bed" paint? Thanks. Steve

    How can I lower the signal going to my subs?

    I really would like to start using these little subs again, but was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction on where the cutoff should be for these subs. Thanks in advance. Steve

    How to calculate port size, length, etc?

    How does one determine the size of the port tube, length, etc. when building a vented sub box? Thanks. Steve

    How can I lower the signal going to my subs?

    Ok, I'll go and try hunt them down over at partsexpress. I wasn't really looking for real "deep" bass with these. Just a fun project to hammer out (and my Yamaha M-80 does a fairly good job at "hammering" ;) ) some extra bass. Thanks again. steve

    How can I lower the signal going to my subs?

    Well, the only reason I have the DSP-E492 in the loop at all is because I wanted to run a couple small unpowered subs (Dayton 8" 4 ohm woofers). I'm using my yamaha M-80 to power the subs, since they have no trouble handling the 4 ohm load. This system, is the system I use upstairs in my...

    How can I lower the signal going to my subs?

    Any suggestions on a crossover? Don't really want to use a plate amp, since I have this M-80 amp sitting around doing nothing. Steve

    How can I lower the signal going to my subs?

    Also, I am using an old Technics SA-1010 as the "main" amp, and simply using the DSP-E492 to route the sub signals to the M-80 and then to the subs. Built these little boogers just for the sake of doing it. Fun project, but somehow I need to get the right signal going to them. Steve

    How can I lower the signal going to my subs?

    Built a couple small Dayton 4 ohm 8" subs in a sealed cabinet. Powering them with my Yamaha M-80 amp :D . Getting the signal for the subs using my yamaha DSP-E492 processor. Here's the problem. I believe the processor has a cutoff of around 200 HZ. The subs are getting too much "higher"...

    New sub project underway!!! Pic!!!!

    Thanks Mark. Yeah, there's really not a whole lot to putting this thing together. I mean, tweaking it (how much foam, where to put the foam, ported or sealed, where to put the port, etc.) is a little time consuming, but actually "bolting" the cabinet together is a snap. Also, does anybody...

    New sub project underway!!! Pic!!!!

    Yeah, I'm very happy with the quality of the kit. The cuts are spot on. I don't know if this kit can be found anymore or not. I can't remember seeing kits that were 1" thick anymore. Lots of 3/4", but not any 1". Once I get the cabinet finished like I want and mount the driver and amp, gonna...
