pics of the 4-10's box build

I think someone might have asked for pics of the build once..and im done for the day and bored...so here ya go.

Pile o' supplies


Cut em all, now the test fit


it all fits, but there is a problem.. the gap between the end of the port and the wall is only 3 inches, and the port is 4.24 wide..not sure how this happened, it worked on paper, so i hacked it off and threw the extra peice on there, it should change my tuning to~32 hz which is about what i wanted anyway..


after the glueing screwing, tweaking, and all that(the top ismt attatched yet, cause i think im gonna brace behing the sub holes scince they are so close together..tomorrow)


i was thinking something like this for the bracing around the holes...tell me what you think.


it all came together pretty fast and smooth..i liked planning it on autocad..this was a first for me, although the port discrepency still freaks me out, it works in theory, and all the measurements match, i dont know whats goin on.

Looks good Use wood glue instead of Liquid Nails next time.

y?

[davidfre21]

wood glue makes a chemical bond, where the LN just makes a surface bond.... glue is better in the long run

[brandontw]

hmmm..interesting, everybody recommended LQ i thought. well, its too late now

[davidfre21]

u can still glue ur top on

[brandontw]

true..ill do that...wahdya think of my bracing idea?

[bcarpenterfhl]

can i ask you what your port length is?

[brandontw]

its about 23 inches

[bcarpenterfhl]

why wouldnt you just double up on mdf on the front, that'd be adequate bracing. it'd only extend your port by 1/4 of an inch.

[bcarpenterfhl]

i meant 3/4 of an inch, not 1/4

[brandontw]

yeah, thats a loat of extra pondage, but i could i guess

[LBX2G]

yeah would glue and pressure would really save u alot of holes.

[brandontw]

pressure? save holes? what holes would it save?

[LBX2G]

screw wholes, U kno u have to drill the whole first then screw in the screw. But if u use wood glue and use clamps or put pressure on the box while it is drying it would work better.
