Default FINISHED TTB enclosure, pic on page 2


I will be back into the 40s again in no time....

Build this box...get a new sub amp.

Then one day save up for a 4 channel amp, an Alpine H701, going active with some HLCD hopefully.

Looks very solid.

Specs and tuning?

Subs?

TTB doesn't design boxes tuned to a specific number, the design will give a flat cabin response from 33hz-100hz, and a decent extension all the way down to 20hz without a sharp drop off.

Subs will be two 10L7s. Its gonna be loud but retain sound quality.

this is really for SPL, not overall SQ?

How big is that box???

Not for SPL, no huge blip in the response curve, thats why I said it is flat. The over box is about 3.5cuft before port and sub.

Yeah just about. I had a 4.5cuft box in there before but I had to take the spare tire out.

So we'll see how it sounds...

I'm probably gonna try to build the box out of Trupan wood and paint it glossy black if possible.
I'm just worried that after I build this thing and put it together I will want a new system.... :-(
This is the 5th sub setup since like March of last year.

I am sure you can sell it on here if you change your mind again

Yeah we'll see.
But I trust Pete and his design, I haven't heard a bad thing yet with people using his enclosure. I hear stupid comments though from people that never used his enclosures before.
I was skeptical at first, also with paying to get a design. But at least he does do the acoustical engineering behind it though. The box is specifically designed for those sub and the tC. Especially he takes into account cabin gain and impedance rise. So its not a WinISD modeling in an infinite space.

I've seen Pete's work and have been a fan since his HELLBOY enclosure. How much are his designs?

Yep everything you need, cut list and a few 3d modeling.
