nice work

[btdickey99]

nice start for the box build.....hopefully will turn out like the cardboard

[mrbomb]

noob question

i am planning on putting the ports on the opposite side of the box from the subs (2 3" round ports), so the question is: if the ports are pretty much pointing at the back of the sub is there going to be any cancellation problems or anything?

[mrbomb]

bump for answer please

[mrbomb]

thought i would let you see the "finished" product

[808_bass]

Hows it sound?

[Oldbass38]

Great job....Looks like you learned from watching other builds....BTW...What kinda amp are you running those with?

[mrbomb]

Hows it sound?

I'm sure its not built perfectly for the subs, but it still sounds great to me

[mrbomb]

Great job....Looks like you learned from watching other builds....


i definitely learned a ton from looking at other peoples builds on here



BTW...What kinda amp are you running those with?


an old sony 444 i had laying around :crap:

but it still seems to get plenty of power to the subs

[kovemaster559]

Good Job

[fbi90909]

look good. real good actually. i'd like to see close up pictures though.

[mrbomb]

i didnt want to wait to wet sand the box because i just wanted to put it in, but im going to be taking it back out for a good wet sand and buff still so more pics will come after its all buffed out

[mrbomb]

and thanks for all the comments

[mrbomb]

bump to let the night crew check it out

[miker]

Wow, that looks really really good.

Great job

[Bigpimpin91]

Lot of people from Michigan on here.

[alxmlr789]

What's the specs on that box?

Looks great, specially for a first box.

[mrbomb]

its right about at 3 cu ft before displacement of everything, so with displacement probably around 2.5 - 2.3

tuned to 35 hz

I think you took to much out for displacement.. Unless there is a lot of bracing.

[mrbomb]

no your probably right its prob more around 2.7 or so

[mrbomb]

i just realized that this thread should have probably been in the build logs section, could a mod move it please
