sometimes i think he over-complicates his box descriptions, and to some, it looks like he is re-inventing the wheel. But he does know his stuff.

 

That video clip was funny to see the expressions on there faces when they were told they were 8's. lol

 

Well, I'd be totally and utterly happy if it performed as good as my 10" Type-S in a smaller package, lol...

 

I always liked this video...

Just for fun I fired up the RE calculator, and staying in the "acceptable" range of 0.25 - 0.65 cu ft net volume vented, Fb = 25 - 35 Hz

I can get a 16x16x7" box with a volume of 0.582 and a tuned frequency of 31Hz...
Take away the .08 displacement from the sub, and that gets me a smidge closer to the "optimal" range of 0.3 cu ft net volume vented, Fb = 35 Hz

That means I can make one TINY box for this, according to the site...

Then again the wonky port sizes I have to choose might mess things up a bit, lol.

12x12x7 with a port width of 0.5" square port 1 length is 10.75, SQP2 length is 6"... Which is a 0.311 internal volume... take away that .08, giving a 0.303 cubic feet... at 34.6Hz...

Assuming I'm doing this anywhere remotely right, lmao.

 

I assume you are calculating for the RL-i 8"....I would shoot for about .75ft^3 tuned to 38Hz w/ 12in^2 of port area...

btw, if you dont have Bass Box Pro and you need to calculate, i find this one much better than the RE...

There's a lot of numbers I get to type in on that one! lol.

And yeah, that's for the 8"

If the SQ and volume can equal or better my Type-S, especially in a smaller package... BAM! instant sweetness, lol

 

I guarentee you in the right enclosure that RLi-8 will not only sound better but have more output...

 

i cant watch the videoon my pc its screwed upbut some 8's can be really impressive. i dont think my 8's are quite as good as those from what you guys are sayin but i always get laughed at for having 8's but they all have changed theiropinion after they sit in my blazer. nobody expects much from them. the main reason i went w/ them was to impress poeple who dought them. mine could be louder if i would build another box for them. mine is too small and port is undersized

 

I might be able to help you out. Got a lot of projects on the go right now. But if you can't find someone to build it, let me know. I don't have the ability to design a box as well as some others can.
