[QUOTE="Trancer, post: 7709290, member: 544448"] Well guys, I can give you all updates but they will be without pictures till I get my laptop back or a replacement from Asus. I ordered my 4 D4 SA-8 V2's on Thursday. Going to take 3 days to get them shipped out because they need to go through Quality Control first. So I'm looking at getting a sub woofers in by Wednesday or so. Right now I'm currently working on a temporary box made out of wood, not with a fiberglass bottom like I originally planned, although im going to still try to give fiberglassing a shot. So by my calculations of dentistry wood box only I can get 3.65 cubic feet of air space before displacement. I'm going to make 2 ports. 1 firing on each side at the rear driver side door and one firing at the rear passenger side door. I am also going to be doing slot ports. 3 different ports making them interchangeable to slide in and out just to play with them. The 30hz port will be in the box primarily. The other two are just to play around with. 1st - 30hz 2nd - 35hz 3rd - 40hz I'm going to be doing a fiberglass front baffle for my subs so I can get some experience on fiberglassing. Maybe this will help me learn how to fiberglass so when i make my second box, I will have already played with fiberglass and will know how to fiberglass the bottom portion of the box. I was surprised that my calculations that I can go and get 3.65 cubic feet of air space just by building a wood box. So I'm making 2 boxes, one on each side and a middle piece to connect the two. Still haven't figured out how I'm going to mount my super long Audiopipe 30001D amplifier. I'm not gonna worry about it too much because this is only a temporary box and I am not going to use my plexi glass to make this box to all custom. I'll focus on my customization with the windows and the plexiglass with leds, logos in the plexi and everything else. So when I do my fiberglass bottom box, I should be able to get at least probably 4 cubic feet especially by using Precision Ports. [/QUOTE]
