Hi.
I've just completed the bulk of my first DIY woofer. I used the Dayton 8" DVC and the Dayton 70 watt plate amp. Box was built using 3/4" MDF with a volume of .508 cf.
My question is regarding stuffing and bracing. I've noticed that this tiny little system weighs more than many of the entry level commercial subs I've looked at. Do you recommend any internal bracing on an enclosure of this size?
Second, the fill called for is "normal". Can anybody elaborate on this? Is there a formula for fill amount based on volume?
According to PE, the Qtc is .707 and the F3 is 54.06 hz.
Thanks in advance for the recommendations.
It's being used in a very modest HT setup. I did test it with some music today and it added a lot of depth. As for HT, I had trouble finding a good DVD with lots of LFE in it.
I have pics which I'll try to get up within the next day or two.
Thanks in advance for the help.
