I hope you are covering the rest of the enclosure with something.

Man, and I always thought people gave out positive criticism on posted project cars, regardless of how shitty it was //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

It's vinyl, I've got pics of one of the baffle/port halves before the excess was trimmed off. Pics uploading now...

There is a dB Drag show at Loud 'n' Clear in OKC on Saturday. I'm going to attempt to get the subwoofer system up and working for that show. It won't be finished with amp/battery rack, but it'll get the job done. It's not designed for a dash number, but it'll get violent as hell with just one of his amps.

Oh, yes, the sides of the front chamber will be vinyled also, but the bottom and top of that chamber and through the port will be carpeted. It'll look good. I also have to redo what the last guy did with his trim ring around the cutout of the cabin. Tad shabby.

Pic of the simple chock used to set the height of the horizontal side to side brace 2/3 the depth of the box on one side.

Shot of the corner brace that is identical on the top and bottom of each side of the box.

Pic of the driver side horizontal side to side brace girdle.

Pic from the rear with verticle braces interlocked and in place.

Another pic from different angle showing the verticle interlocking braces.

Just tired enough not to touch it again until tomorrow. Have a great night folks.

why would you use so much wood to brace and make that port IMO, probably look cheap when done? steel threaded rods FTW.

Specifically so that the finished product looks cheap. You hit the nail on the head.
