okay, so the question is, to insulate or not to insulate.... my box is 1.82^3(ported). that is what I wanted it to be. So I should not stuff it than? If I do the volume increases, that is not what I want right? What about the advantages it gives like absorbing higher frequencies, do I want it...

if it makes the box appear larger, would that not affect my calculaions to acheive the desired frequency. I made the box accordin to researching calculations and did not put insulation in mind, how much will it affect the outcome?

is sound insulation in an enclosure neccassary? What thickness and how much do you use? What are the pro's in doing it? Thanks

I am building my first sub, and after all my research and finally getting a volume, etc. I am having trouble with the port. Does anyone know a sure way to figure out what the dimensions of the port should be? I have tried a calculation in a book, and a few programs and spreadsheets. Everyone...

are you saying i can use any three dimensions as long as they equal the 1.82 cubic foot total?

so i have spent all afternoon researching, playing with numbers, etc. and have come to a reasonable ( I think) calculation. 1.82 cubic feet which equals 3144.96 cubic inches a 12 " x 15" x 18.75 " (golden ratio included) enclosure equals 3375 cubic inches. I read up to a 20%...

Maybe this would be an easier way if anyone is willing to help. I will post my specs for the speakers and any experienced cabinet makers maybe can give me what their dimensons would be based on these. I am getting confused by different results I am getting and I have never attempted this...

okay so I just used winISD to input some driver information and got some results that maybe I need some help with. I received a 33.5 l volume for the design. the dimenisions are as follows: w - 0.363 m = 14.37 " h - 0.559 m - 22.09 " d - 0.232 m - 9.21 " can i minipulate these...

Dan, What program are you using to get the specs that you did for the enclosure? thanks

here are the specs and my mistake, I was using the 8" 4 ohm specs, but even now with these specs I get 20.41 cubic feet. That still sounds wrong. Thanks for everyones help. Vas34.510 Qts0.680 Qes0.760 fs33.3 Xmax9.40 Qms 6.76 Re 6.29ohms xmax 9.4mm

thanks for your advice, but I would really like to experiment with this driver for home use. Just an experiment of mine, but I am just thrown off by the dimensions i got from the spreadsheet.

they are for the mtx 6000 series. They are probably for car use, but was hoping to experiment with them as home use. I have all the specs if you need them. thanks

it is also for home use, not car audio

it is a 10" mtx 6000, 8 ohms, etc. Thanks

I am attempting to build my first enclosure for a 10" sub. I have dowloaded and tried some sealed and ported enclosure spreadsheets. I was wondering what is better, sealed or ported. I have read many who say sealed. Also when I do the calculations I get a result of .50 cubic feet for size. That...

Hi all, I am looking for any information sites , books, advice, etc) on building my own enclosures for 12" subs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Mike

Hi all, Can somebody help me understand ohms and how they work in respect to speakers/amps. Have a 4 ohm subwoofer and a 8 ohm amplifier. What is the pro's/con's to hooking this up? Can I hook it up. Will it damage anything? Sorry I am new to this home theatre and I am trying to learn as I...

Thanks for the info, I did try and play with the service menu and yes it did not help my problems. There is some geometry settings but not the right ones. I don't know if I can bring back my television because it is over a year old. I just noticed the problem now, and I am not sure if it was...

thank you for all your help everyone, great forum!

thanks for the info John! just in case is there anybody that knows how to access this menu? Thanks

it is a jvc d series 32" television. Thanks for you reply but I am not quite sure what you mean ny service menu. Forgive me but do you mean the regular menu? And the speakers are not shielded. Thanks Mike

Hi all, I have a prblem with my television. I have done some research and understand what happens when speakers are too close to a television set. Unfortunatley this has happened to myself. I was told that the speakers too close would cause some discoloration and degausing would solve the...

I have a great car sub that I am no longer using for my car, can I use it in my home theatre setup?Do I need to know anything specific or can I just put it in an enclosure and hook it up? It is a six ohm sub and I know that most home speakers are eight ohms. Will it damage the speaker if I hook...
