siliconed the inside before the top was put in for easier access

Cut out for the SE's was 14", so i got a scrap piece of plexi and did a 7" radius and drilled 2 holes one for the screw the other for the pencil

drilling a hole for the starting point i carfully cut out a circle with a jigsaw that was almost perfect

same for the 2nd hole

with the extra wood from the circle cutout i made a port corner

and finished the assembly of the box with mounting the top on

on to painting the parts of the box that may be seen
started out with useing grey primer
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c350/tippmann_guy/SANY1044.jpg

nice work great job

Not diggin' the port at all. You should've designed it to where the port is just straight out, instead of having to hit a bend right at the end.

[budahbuddy803]

i dont know what a port corner does. I thought people used angles to try to keep the width of the port the same all the way through. With just a small sliver of wood there, does it even do anything?? And i agree with james, not a very good design.

edit: and not sure what woofers or what kind of power you are running, but maybe a little more bracing would be beneficial.....??

we'll see, i dont think ill have any problems with it, i didnt have where the subs were going to be so i planed it that the port woulnt hit the sub at all

[TMali]

but i had some free cans of undercoading/sound dedener so i lined the trunk with a few coats, idk how well that will work

and took an old blanket to wrap the spare tire, no loud vibrations from there

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c350/tippmann_guy/Image00591.jpg

got for painting work done on the box but dont have pics up, ill upload and post later

[TMali]

i was thinking about bracing, but i didnt want to do that untill one of you said something....so i rethought that
i added a peice of wood from top to bottom and ran another peice of 3/4 mdf to go between the subs
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c350/tippmann_guy/Image00611.jpg

and i used black undercoading to paint the parts that may sometimes be seen

[TMali]

and i did a bit of wireing today

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c350/tippmann_guy/Image00621.jpg

the wire mess behind the deck.... itll be more organized later
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c350/tippmann_guy/Image00641.jpg

heres running some monster RCA's 4 & 2 channel and speaker wire
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c350/tippmann_guy/Image00631.jpg

That undercoating looks good on the box, I was wondering how it would look. Nice build man.

[TMali]

And alittle more work on the box

cut a bunch of cardboard strips to find the curve of the trunk
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c350/tippmann_guy/Photo-0007.jpg

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c350/tippmann_guy/Photo-0006.jpg

then made a cardboard cutout of the curves on more cardboard for test fitting
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c350/tippmann_guy/Photo-0008.jpg

once that i got a good fit i traced onto the 1/4 MDF i picked up home depo
and cut with a jig
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c350/tippmann_guy/Photo-0009.jpg

need to make to pieces to have it fit in the trunk
heres the test fit in the trunk
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c350/tippmann_guy/Photo-0010.jpg
