mach 5 spl box build

heres the start of my box, designs were made by jalat, 2.2 cubes at 38.5 hz for a single 12" mach 5 spl driver. if cuts look off you can thank the amazing geniuses at rona who dont know how to use their own saw LOL.
ill be finishing up tomorow, sorry pics are from my phone.

Looks like your off to a good start. I'd have rounded the end of that port board though....

Edit: just curious, but won't the large angle in the corner restrict the port flow due to the change in area and sharp edge across from it?

Actually ... the 45 in the corner helps to maintain a consistant size in the port as well as to help reduce restriction to the air flow.

Provided that there was an equal 45 across from it ..... all I'm saying is the inner wall should be at the same angle not come to a pointed edge

I think that box may be a bit to small for optimum results. The recommended enclosure is 3 cubic feet gross.

mark said that 2-3 cubes would work, mark also checked this design i got and he said its actually tuned closer to 41 but i wouldnt notice a difference and he said it would work. other people on ca have had sucess with 2-2.5 cubes but its my first box for this sub so itll only get better.
