    Port Location - Front Or Rear?

    How do you calculate approximate volume of irregular objects?

    The water displacement method can work, and it is very accurate. Simply wrap everything with a large sheet of thin plastic wrap, use a vacuum to do a "imitation shrink wrap" and you are all set. This has worked for me with an impromptu underwater camera shot.

    Impossible Dream?

    Is it possible to build a small 8" sub, in a less than 1 cubic foot enclosure, that will perform adequately at moderate levels? I know the answer will be no, build a 12" and turn it down, but that isn't what I want to hear :). I know that a sub has to move a lot of air but I am talking...
