Nice score for a trunk car.

Is that in the kick?....im gonna assume it is, cuz legal is really hard in trunk car.

Looks good, get you a better amp in there and itll really wake up

 

[basscort2009 5,000+ posts]

yea thats in the kick. legal my car hates! i gota 147.xx legal is my best.

and this amp is a beast for what it is annd the electrical i got. next year when i change classes and can have a bigger amp it will be either another one of these or a 5k amp

how about my memphis //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

this things gotta go! too current hungry. would like to try wiring 'er down to 1/4 ohm for some burps just to see how loud i can get... those scores were all at 1.2 ohms.

still having trouble on the new box design. almost there though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

portmaster at work again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 

[basscort2009 5,000+ posts]

fa sho. thats why im taking extra time to design this one.

for anyone who dont know about me being portmaster. here goes...

my buddy designed the box wrong so i built it wrong then we found out it was wrong and then i spent about 2 weeks with interchangable ports of alllll types and sizes. square, slot, aero, and pvc. made about 8 ports total and finally came up with 2 4s for daily and 1 8 for SPL. now im think of interchangable LENGTHS not sizes on the new box

 

[basscort2009 5,000+ posts]

started on the new box today finally after putting it off for a while.

first baffle with glue all over it

second baffle with sub drawn out and 8" aero also drawn out, i also countersunk everyhole and woodglued the holes flush with the board. i think im gonna make this one strong AND pretty this time around //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

left wall.

right wall

coming together

my bench

my table

my level, apparently some tools arent up to par :/

 

[basscort2009 5,000+ posts]

little update on the box

resin brushes much? 15 for 7 bucks

wood filler instead of wood glue this time around. worked alot better

close up of wood filler

close up of sanded down and smooth baffle to the bottom. (everything was cut with a jigsaw so som sanding was needed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
