I recently did these with the intention of using them as D.J. tops and also in the car for "liming" purposes. Still deciding if to fiber glass or just carpet. Not sure if I need a front grill? Let me know what you guys think!!!
Equipment used
1. Peavey 12"
2. Selinium 405ti

was wondering the same thing. bt i did it b4 with a smaller flare and it worked ok.

nice to see som1 using different equipment !!! nice build man.

for the dj work the fiberglass will be the best thing. bt if u intend on putting the box on your hood u will need to lay a mat or sum so it wont damage the paint on your hood.

Actually, the box was full length with the Flare above the speaker. However, when they were placed in the car, I remaining with little room for the subs. In light of this I decided to cut them in half and put the flare infront the speaker.
Honestly speaking, I can't tell the difference in sound when the drivers were above the speaker compared to them being infront! but I am sure that there are!!!
I had the drivers a while now so I just decided to use them with the rcf flares. I know it's not the correct thing but it works great! Appreciate the comments!!!!

my taughts:
black widow/peavey/sound barrier - same sub. plays really good (have a pair of 15")
selenium driver very good driver. Please fibreglass this box, if not give about 3-4 coats of resin and paint.
The grill, you can buy a sheet of the precut grills @ gopauls and u can cut appropriately for these boxes, gives u a *finished* look.

i have 2 10" rcf and the same flare with nd850 drivers...if i make a box like this will the flare block the 10" output?

only reason i want to is to save space because to put all side by side it takes up alot of space

any help

^ yes it will block some of the output...the flare is 10''x9.* for it to work you will have to design the box longer to accommodate a wider front!!!

Did you use a tool like HornResp to come up with the best box size and flare for that midbass/midrange driver, or did you just "try a ting"?

I did not use any program in designing the box, it was done to suit the space I had available in the car. I will definitely try that software when I am doing the rest.
The box sounds really good though!!!

If you provide the:

1. t/s parameters for the driver
2. The dimensions of the rear chamber
3. The dimensions of the flare

I'll try to put together a HornResp model to cover it.
