4x RE8 box BUILT! *PICS*

[JeffyZ33 10+ year member]

After 2 days of working (between school and us being lazy), here it is after the final construction. The box is 2.0 cubic foot after all displacements and is tuned to 32hz.

Note, the amp will be sitting on top of the box, the reason it is not on there now is because my wires werent long enough to reach. Going to extend them tomorrow and get it mounted up right, and I'll take more pics. Friday we're going to fill in all of the countersunk screw holes, get it real nice and smooth, then paint it flat black. Going to be ordering some Kicker cast aluminum grills, I think they'll look sweet. More pics along the way.

Here's a couple pieces cut out..

Front and bottom angles match up perfectly

Stapling and glueing the first side on for a temporary hold before it's all screwed together.

Sides, bottom, and back glued and stapled

Then goes the top

The desired arrangement...

Just a little bit of silicone to seal it up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

THE BOX IS BUILT!.. but there's no holes?

*END OF DAY 1. Left my camera at home for all of day 2 so you miss all of the cutting and etc.

Anyways here's the finished construction of it

Sitting in the back of my Jeep, pretty tight fit.

View from further back, looks nice IMO.

Closer view of the back... also I realized how bad my bumper cover needs armor-all'd.

So there it is, completely done with the building. After listening to it initially, wow it is loud! Way louder then I could ever expect, and they hit lowwwwwwww! These things sound excellent while pounding.

So you're probably asking how I'm going to get to the subs if I need to.. well... we thought ahead for once. Mounting them from the inside has some advantages.. such as better anti-theft, nothing going to be hitting the cones, and the foam gasket is on the top of the basket instead of the bottom. We decided to mount them from the inside, and decided on a way to be able to take the front on and off. What we did was make our own re-useable gasket out of silicone. We layed down a bead all the way around, then used strips of the real thin plastic that Dillions plastic bags are made of and put them over the silicone all the way around. We put the top board on and let it sit overnight. Next afternoon, we took of the board, and pealed up all of the plastic. Voila, a perfectly fit silicone gasket all the way around.

Me, a friend, and his dad built this. Let me/us know what you think

*EDIT* forgot to add, also included in friday's to-do list, is to use a router with a round off bit to round the edges on the sub holes for a more smooth-flowing design.

looks HAAAAAWT

cant wait to see it finished!

I originally wanted to put spray-on bed liner on it to match the Jeep theme I plan on having soon, but I think i'll paint it flat black for now. If I dont like how that turns out I may carpet it, but I hate carpeting, so I'll probably pay the local shop to do it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif. Because they'll probably want a good $150-$200 to do it, It will probably just stay black.

Hey if you take your time, Carpet isn't hard at all.

nice box man. Dont you have multiple shops? 200 to carpet that is crazy imo. I'd check around on some pricing. You'll prolly have to bring em the box to get a quote though.

[BoominBeast]

[JeffyZ33 10+ year member]

I hear no port noise at all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

I still need to do a little adjustment on the deck and amp to get it where I really want it, but as of now I love em. Got the amp mounted today //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Far back view...

Power and speaker wires, 4ga power 8ga speaker.

RCAs and bass knob wires

Wires run out of the little cut-out, down the back of my seat, and then under the back seat.

Closer view of it all
