Hi
I am picking up two re8's and was wondering if anyone had made a ported box for these.My math skills suck so was hoping someone could post the plans for the box they made.Thanks for any help.

I run a single one in a 1.5cuft total ABC box and it is impressive.

For a single standard vented box, I suggest 0.75-1.0cuft net with a 2.5"(for 0.75cuft) or 3"(for 1.0cuft) port at 10" long. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Excellent choice on a wicked woofer.

http://momentum.soundillusions.net/march03/spl.html They had good luck with .45 ported, Jon at Genuine Canadian Audio recommended anywhere from around .5 cubes and up ported, I do believe.

That is correct. Don't worry about the questions, we all have to start somewhere, I am still learning how MP3's work, as Homeless Guy pointed out...
