BASSBOXMAN Saturn VUE Project! KERF and LIGHTS!

[BASSBOXMAN]

Here is my dirty VUE


Under the hood


Cargo Area


The Amps!


Slot cutting with guide board held down by Josh... so much faster than clamping/moving lol. Thanks Josh!


Testing flexibility


More flexibility testing


Gravity at work


Closer look


Centering the center board and side boards

[BASSBOXMAN]

It fits!


A little closer


Inside look


Another inside look


This part of the enclosure is nearly finished... well not really

Attached dowel rods tonight and added some 45º boards.


Closer Look


Inside Angle view


Stage III

Made the sides and put them on so you can *kinda* see what's coming.


Another angle weee! Well below the window line although it is going to get a little higher but will still clear by plenty.

[BASSBOXMAN]

And another angle


Corner Shot... I like this view!


Managed to get a little more done.


More resin to sand down yay!


weee


Stage IV

3/24/2009
Little more... still undecided on part of it but progressing.






Another view


Stage V

Doesn't fit like you want it and spending more time trying to get it to work right.... have to karate chop it to move on lol

[BASSBOXMAN]

Cut some flush mount rings for test fit


It's gonna fit nicely!


Mounting rings attached to the flush rings and set in the enclosure.


Fits like a glove... a tight glove.


Angle shot


Plopped Al's Powerbass 15's in it to see how it looks with the subs. Haven't decided what subs I am going to use yet.


Top view


Stage VI

3/31/2009

This next part is where I fill the gaps between the subwoofer rings and the front radius (done just a few hours ago)

Made this from a ½" thick hard cardboard ring.


Here they are setting in place.


another view

[BASSBOXMAN]

again....


Now I have attached them to the subwoofer rings


another shot


And now some resin so they can harden in this position


Another shot


again


and the last one for the night!


Manged to get some filler added... lots of sanding/filling left to do.




Stage whatever...

[BASSBOXMAN]

This is in place temporarily for resining/stiffening in its' form then it will be put back in later after I finish this section.


Update 4/28/2009

Added a layer of glass to the inner radius pieces. Will be adding a couple more layers to it tomorrow and doing some sanding in prep for the next stage.









5/4/2009
Got a little more done... weather has treated me a little better but not a whole lot.. hoping for a good weekend. Here is some pictures of the underside getting some attention. None of these pieces are permanently in place but they will be soon.

[BASSBOXMAN]

More!

New Toyz!!!
Been waiting for these BadBoys!! Love em! Thanks Jacob!

Time to Break them in!


Rubber gaskets are just sitting on top of the edge, just laid them there for the hell of it. Didn't want to put them on since they will be coming back out soon and they fit really tight in the recessed area.. not an easy task but love the fit.


Enjoy! More coming soon!
