Anyone built enought that they know the secret box?

I'm planning on using a single 10" off a MRDM1000.. I may be convinced to use the 12" but the 10 looks alot more aggressive..

What Box design is going to blow minds?

Keep in mind I will aim for more low end extension and low frequency output..

ANY ideas?

Master installer asking for help?

Have you been able to get any T/S parameters for that driver...I'm not finding much online?

Hope that is a start, talk to Defro, he should have the goods on these subs.....

what master installer? uuummm yeah okay

I just have a fascination with the smell of resin..

All kidding aside... I just wonder if there is a good spec out there as I am FAR to lazy or busy to build different boxes and audition them..

Fair enough...I like your work though...

Thanks man!

I just hope my new install holds up to past ones...

bump....anyone?

sorry. what sub is it that u are using and i will design a box for u that i promise will work increadibly well. you want bass extention as well right? let me know!

^ Terry is an accomplished installer. He's looking for a credible proven box design, not something fired off of WinISD...

Hi Dukk [img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img]

I never was one for enclosure design... I build sealed FIberglass boxes...

If I'm going to be happy with a single 10 or 12.. thats not going to cut it..

Gues I'll give Rino a call tomorow
