Hi there

In reading through the archieves of previous posts, I've seen a trend
in oppinion for having non-cubed sub boxes. I was wondering if any of
you have some information on how angles and sound waves interact in
that environment. Some basic questions I have a

Are there any minimum/maximum angles between to surfaces that one
wants to use in box construction?

Is there a percieved output level increase with such a design?

Do certian angles increase standing wave or phase issues?

Of what importance is it to have the surface directly behind the
speaker basket angled? And would you want this piece further diffused
in shape with bracing, etc?

Do opposite angles that are parallel to each other (like a trapazoid)
yeild any benifit or fault?

Anyone build a triangle box?


Thanks for your time - I'm about to build a new box for a sub i have
coming in and would like to make it special... deviate from the cube
for once...

The sub enclosure shape doesn't matter for anything car sized. The
sound waves are too big.

At frequencies if interest enclosure shape isn't an issue.
