Hi, Ok well today I ripped apart my Z-340 sub box to get at the sub speaker to do some fun things with it for a movie I'm working on where I fill the speaker with water and run different songs to make the water move in different patterns and such. So anyways, now that I've ripped it apart, all that remains of the box is the frontal rubber thing with the mesh in front of it (can't get that blasted mesh off). I bought a second set of Z-340 speakers, and once they ship I'm also going to rip the sub box apart, and then I plan on building a long triangular box to house the two speakers in it and mount it under my desk or something. Now what I wanted to ask, is there any special way to build the sub box? Is there any special dimensions and space requirements for the sub? What way should it face,... Thanxs
The size is really important when you build a speaker in general. every speaker needs a different sized box to perform correctly. next thing is placement of the airtube. check the product code of the speaker and check for a spec sheet on the net would be a good start.
Building a speaker that sounds good is actually quite complicated - for a sub it gets complicated in that, as a bare minimum, you'll want the thiele and small parameters for the drive unit you are using before you start designing the box (the dimensions, construction and configuration of the box will have a massive influence on the frequency response for the given driver unit placed in it, and guesswork will just result in something that sounds absolutely crap ).
Thanks for the replies Ah, yea that was what I was afraid of. Unfortunently looks like I'll have to wait for the new speakers to come in as I cut up everything but the amp in it, it's PSU, and the speaker itself
