it is very possible. but jl went through alot of trouble to tune it for the sub thats in it.

It's totally impossible. Nobody can build it. JL can't even build it - they do it all with mirrors and airbrush..

its just a big port that circles around and exits near the cone. all it is. just make a box with a slot port coming out the back.then add on a half box i guess that wraps around the top. if you really want send me a message and i will draw you one out so you get what i am saying.

anyone can build it and th theroy behind it is impressive. there is a really big calculation of port lengeth behing getting the sonic waves to exit the box close to the same time as the sub will hit a beat! to much math for a physics student at UofA!

i believe someone just thought...HEY, what if we combine the airflow from the port with the airflow from the cone....durr.
thats a good idea
