here is some buld pics for an enclosure for
a RF T212D4...built to RF's Powerfull Enclosure
specks (2.25cf3 plus sub,port,corner displacement)
and tuned at 32hz

I hate MDF dust...had a lung infection from the stuff
last spring so I don't take any chances anymore

one of the little tweeks I have been working on....
it will all make sense in the end
 -

no 90* edges..all 45* and will be sanded perfectly smooth

isnt that port longer than 20"? the craftmanship looks VERY good for a skillsaw.

dtbrown; it's called kerf cutting just take 75% of the material away with the saw cut. make them closer together for tighter bend. yes it makes it weaker there but you have to use resin in the gaps to bring it back to strength...

with only a 20" long port it would be impossible
to get the needed port area....

nope....that would screw up the inner cf3

this box is solid...it is made from
Premium 1" mdf and with the port walls
and corner bracing there will be no flex
or vibaration at all...all the joints are
bang on flush and the glue I use has a 2 ton
tensile strength

but the kerfs will be soaked in resin

Looks very good, very professional. My last box I built I used a $250,000 CNC router that we have at my work to get all the dimensions to within a thousandth of an inch. It's nice to work building cabinents all day long, and using the tools for my own projects is even better. [Smile]

anyways this is how I make my flares nice and solid

I use the holes to take advantage of
capillary attraction..the resin gets drawn in thru the
slits and the air bubbles come out thru the holes...
this ensures that the kerfs are 100% filled and rock
solid once the resin cures....

works better than any other way...glue shrinks and
leaves voids in the kerfs..this way does not[ [Big Grin] ]

 -

here is the inner Kerf..full of resin and filled
like a nice smooth 45*
