so... i'm done for the night!! ... what i've got done so far:

got the side walls installed

then did the 2x4 bracing for the roof...

after final calculations.... the box will be 24 cubed after displacement, and tuned to 32 hz

MUCH more to come tomorrow!

got some more work done today....

got the ceiling up:

then started building the front shell, since the front of the box is actually wider than the rear

then installed it

notice the gap

no more gap!

then doubled up the mdf on the front

one of the 18's in there... just for a size comparison

more gap filling, and sealing

still have a gap in the roof to fill

WHERE DID THE BACK OF MY CAR GO????

also, got one of my 2200's in today from ampenstien... should have the other one next week!

ok... update for the day....

started by filling the gap in the roof

then after ALOT of measuring, measuring, measuring, and more measuring... i ended up having to change the angle of the baffles from 45* to 30*, due to the mounting depth and the fact that my AQ's have an 8" motor...

first baffle that finally fit

changing the angle, means i'll have to extend the front of the box 2"

then double baffled it (dont know why it took it in black and white)

lil preview of the bottom part of the clamshell...

shot from the back (of course, i'll need bracing... you can tell how heavy these subs are, with the flex... even with a double baffle, lol)

and just a shot, showing how lil clearance i have... doing a clamshell is a bitch!

so... thats about 6 hours of work down... not much done, as far big picture... but, atleast got the hardest part done (figuring out the perfect angle)....

stay tuned, more updates tomorrow
