I'm in the middle of beginning a box for a Focal 27KX. I'm using 1" MDF and my main concern is depth. The driver will be inverted (see..Fig 2).

I'd like to make it extra shallow to save trunk space (see..Fig 1)

(see..Fig 3) is the alternative box but too big for my trunk

Internal volume will be 1.0 cu.ft

Main Question Will the sound or performance be affected with a very shallow depth?

Thanks everyone

Julian

 

in fig2 you will need the room for the sub to move,so the max moving part of the sub befor it hits the box

 

The depth was going to be 3-5inches on clearance I think that should be enough! Tall and Wide Box!

???

 

Box is designed - all I need now is a table saw and router!

 

rona cut all my panels for me.... although they do take alot of massaging to get em all strait... which i didnt have time to do properly so i have a ghetto box.... ha!

 

I thought to have them do it but the angle cuts! I don't know if they can adjust the blade???

 

why not do a f/g box with a mdf face ?

 

zzzzzzzz - thanks for the comment, personally I'd rather use MDF to start. I've always personally found MDF to be a better suit. F/G is good for contours - in my case a straight forward box will be sufficient!

I'll post process pics and once it's done.

 

what is under the floor?

 

Spare tire well - I had a FibreGlass box built this summer housing a JL Audio 10w1 - It worked quite well for the summer. The sound was decent and output was average. I added a second sub and the air space was too small. I went back to a sealed rear firing box and was a lot better!

I've been moving the temp .86 cu.ft box around for the past 4 days and the best location so far is center firing back. I have yet to try it firing down to the floor but time will tell!

Cheers
