New ported enclosure build.

[BrentC5Z]

We never store anything under this seat since it’s troublesome to get to. This is a 20x20x8 external dim ported enclosure. 1.5x14x6.5 slot port. Nets right at 1 cuft for the sub and is tuned just under 35 Hz. 1 qt Raptor liner.

looks good.

my only comment would be to ditch alll or part of the 4 "legs" that look to be made out of mdf and replace with hdpe cut into the same size. it never fails that water will get up in that area at some point. that'll keep the wood from being up against wet/moist/damp flooring even with linex.

otherwise let the tunes rock....

The uncoated inside bothers me more. The humid environment will take its toll on the MDF in a season or 2, due to the open port.

Great work! How does it sound?

For what you have in it, if the box last 2 years it will be good enough. More than likely will last longer. Just make sure to leave the seat off when being stored to allow the area to breathe.

Are you familiar with story of the frog dropped in boiling water v's the frog dropped in cold water that the burner is then turned on? The uncoated MDF wood is the later.

The MDF will start to soak up moisture day-1. So the enclosure wont explode in one to two seasons, but slowly over time, it will swell on the side. As it does, the frequency of the enclosure will slowly change. Eventually, the owner will either finally notice the change in the woofer's performance or the external shape of the enclosure change. At this point, it may be season 3 or 4. But the change is slow, so its takes time. Like a frog coming to boil when the water started at cold.

What would it take to resolve the issue by simply a partial disassembly and use bedliner on inside of box?

Hey I have seen the GreaseMonkey videos!! If he develops a moisture problem here, you can believe he is going to have an episode showing how he installed a powered dehumidifier into the box, or something similar to what an expensive piano would have! LOL!
