So I sat down and calculated the volume in my previous speaker enclosure design. It was quite low even if I took into account that poly batting would add 15-18% to the calculated volume. So I tweaked the design a little bit.
The depth is now the maximum I feel comfortable with and I removed a messy angle that was going to be a pain to make. I actually measured where the connectors on the amp are located to come up with where cut-outs would be located. Also scaled down the size of the wire conduit after measuring the thickness of the entire bundle of wires. The final volume for the sub, assuming a 15% increase for the poly, is approximately 0.47 cubic feet (manufacturer suggested between 0.4-0.6 and optimal at 0.5).
I have everything I need to build this except the glue and MDF... Next step is to mock up the sides with cardboard so the box will fit snug.
