Odd.
I never saw this post not that it matters now. Hot heads!

I tend to move along without having a temper tantrum and flaming a bunch of people I do not even know.
Oh well. Glad I only have to really care about temper tantrums from my children and my handicapped clients.
That said if this pup comes back to see if he hurt anyone and made them feel naughty for either missing or ignoring his post I will offer my useless and empty advice.

I know that some have had success scaling the whole thing. I have only had success by lowering the height to accept the smaller sub. I have built some scaled WO's and found them loud boomy and a pain to crossover to make it sound decent.
No matter what I did I could not make them sound as good as the simple full size layout and a lower height.
So I cannot answer your question Deform because of my lack of success. if you want a loud box with no SQ by all means go for it. you really never know until you try.
There has been a few that scaled the WO and liked the sound, I was not one of them and the ones I know of have moved along or rarely visit now.
I will tell you the ones I did were really loud but sucked in deep bass and difficult to crossover. they also were either way to tight and to high or boomy and to high

I hope that helps its the best I can do.
I doubt you will answer this and admit that you were perhaps a little harsh and apologize.
But you never know, some people are bigger than just their emotional state.

that's what i call over-reacting. there has been a post in the past (with a pic) about the scaled down wo. maybe reasearch ?
my memory is failing

Yes, i agree perhaps i did over-react, although i did end up getting a respose so i suppose that i did succed in the end, and to those who were offended by my harsh words i appoligise.
I ended up making the 6 1/2" box, with 16mm MDF and two Jacycar 6.5" woofers, although the design was altered to 20" square and a total of about 8" tall with the throat being around 1".
It's not the most cosmetic thing i've seen mainly due to the err... 'odd' workmanship probably because this was my first ever sub-box which i built.
It's currently waiting at my mates place awiting some foam and carpet aswell as needing a more powerfull amplifier than the miserable thing i have now. i'll get around to posting some pictures if anyone is interested.

Sure pictures are always good. and thanks for coming back, the more the merrier you know!
Look forward to it.
I lurk at a lot of forums and sometimes questions never get answered so don't feel singled out. I have also made posts years ago elsewhere that remain unanswered along with Pm's.

I'm still here although i haven't got any pictures for you all yet. I'm still in the process of building my crossovers and i'm still witout a powerfull enough amp.  :(
It's not looking that bad although i'm not too sure aboot the throat that it has as it is square in the corner and is probably a little too close to the sides.
Does anyone reccomend deadening it with anything?

AHHHHHHHHH!!!! Woo, it's finished and sounding fantastic. Although i want to put it in a sedan and see how it sounds while its not in a hatch-back.
Well, It is together and in my car getting around 200wrms, and i have a low pass of about 80Hz for the moment and it is all sounding good, i have only had a preliminary fiddle with getting the dound right but it looks very promising.
My mate cannot belive that two 80wrms 6" can play like that and are able to hit as low as they do (my car has rattles now...).
I have pictures but seeing as i dont have the net at home i'm finding it hard to get them up. The box was my first and was a steep learning curve for me but other than some 'chuffing' as the throats are a little narrow, it all went well.
I'm going to get some stuffing for the box as i know that the sealed section is nowhere near the size that it should be and i'm not too sure aboot inverting the drivers (any help?).
I'm planning to build my next one soon.
