Thanks man.

This weekend I had a few hours so I began to build the enclosure for the woofers. I failed to remember to take pictures of the entire build, but I took a few. I haven't had time to carpet it yet, but before I do, I'll snap some pictures of everything else.

Here were the plans for the box:

I'd like to thank IonSQL and JBLCAMARY for the drawings and plans.

I know, this was a poor excuse for an update, but its progress.

Also, word of advice, buy a Jasper Jig. They are quite amazing.

I forgot to update this thread before I went on vacation, so tomorrow I will do that.

Once again I forgot to update this thread. In the past month I’ve been working nonstop trying to finish this project up before I go back to college. I’ll continue to update this thread as more progress is made.

On to some pictures though… First the finished enclosure photos:

I’m not sure what happened to my front shot of the box, but whatever.

The next few photos are going to be of the new headunit. I chose a Pioneer Premier DEH-800PRS. I wanted something that had active capabilities and I’ve never had a problem with my past few Pioneers so it was a prime choice.

Next are a few pictures of the mids mounted in the doors. I need to finish deadening the doors completely, but I was in a hurry to get these in. I’ve got some clay and another 25 sq ft. of deadener I need to lay down, but this will do for not.

Finally we have this past weeks project… the a pillars. I wanted to mount the tweeters in the a pillar, but didn’t like the look of the flush mount. I decided to try my hand at fiberglass and overall it is coming together fairly well. Considering this is my first time working with glass, I think it will come out pretty good.

I still need to finish sanding and filling the a pillars but they are coming together.

The final outcome of the back:

ur imaging looks way off on the pillars .... and that box looks huge for a pair of 12's

Considering who helped design the box, I think I'll stick with what he came up for me. Thanks for the thought though.

 

[mobeious 10+ year member]

who designed the box? might be right.. just looks big .... what are the dimensions of the box

 

[pjvoc 10+ year member]
