The original box is 8.5x11x4" tall, I forgot to port it, so i just knocked out the plexi window.
I imagine the bass would be tighter if I were to port one side and install a solid cover, and I have intended to do so
for a while, just haven't!
Would the sound be the same if the enclosure were shorter, but longer and wider? I do want to keep the thing in the
cabin, I need my trunk for projects. I really need a wagon, but that is unimportant at this point.
Something like 2"H x 14L x 12W with a solid cover and one port toward the c-pillar so noone can tell exactly what it is?
The amp and speaker have to stay, unless I can find a very good deal on a square subwoofer that would fit into the
same space that the first-aid kit takes. I like that the space allows almost flush mounting, with the bottom of the
speaker in the trunk.
Building such a box won't be a problem at all, I just know nothing about the mechanics of speaker building

3/4" MDF wood, Wood Glue, Silicone Sealant. would be the grocery list for this project.
But honestly I would not build a ported box if you are looking for a tighter bass.

I thought you'd want less open if you wanted better response?
What would *you* build if you wanted that little 8"( heh heh little 8") sub to sound its best? The amp is 250w/2 channel and the speaker has two sets of terminals, I hooked each channel to its own set of terminals.
Maybe this summer if I find work, I can fancy it up, but this is all I have until then=) I think I can score some MDF, that won't be problematic |

Sealed boxes will give you a tighter sound then a ported box...
I would build the same thing you had, but with better wood and stuff to build it with, thought that was a cool little project. |
