Welcome to Speaker Box Audio

I am a car audio enthusiast. I do all my own installs and learn as I go. I will try anything from a basic box to a custom fiberglass or carbon fiber install. I will be learning this stuff and posting pictures. I make the mistakes so you don't have to.

Subwoofer Enclosure Build 2/1/2010

Here are a couple pics of the box I'm starting. It is for the two 10" pioneer premier tsw-2500 subs. The optimal enclosure size is .9 cubes per sub. This box has an internal volume of 2 cubes for both subs excluding port volume. The first box I built was the same volume, but it had two 3" ports and it was tuned to 45 hz. It had severe port noise and was tuned higher than I wanted, so I'm building a new box. It is a slot port with a port area of 47"s and has a tuning frequency of 35 hz. It should be loud and have great sound quality compared to the last box. Here are the pics of the beginning stages. Sorry there are only two because measuring and cutting is kind of boring. I used a jig saw to cut the holes so they aren't perfect like they would be with a router. I don't have a router so I'm working with what I have. I flared the ports a little to reduce port noise as much as possible.
