Those are Cuspid tweets. Extremely harsh with a bad frequency range...

Moe is my thinking right on this? cause it seems like have the port 45ed off on the top but not the bottom causes it to shallow instead of keeping the same distance.

trying to learn //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

No keep the back port at an L shape. The corner brace is just to reduce turbulance. "port noise" and will not effect the tunning to much. Angling it will increase port turbulance and effect the tunning.

BUMP

Got a little accomplished today, but not a whole lot. Screwed/glued the port assembly down, and screwed and glued the dowel rods(which are being used as braces to prevent the top panel from flexing). The pictures are before they were glued down, hence why they don't look perfect.

I temporarily but the chevy logo on the back with a small dab of glue and 2 screws not screwed in all the way. Just wanted to see how it looks, and I'm impressed! Gonna build up the edges with some bondo sometime to give it a look as though it's coming out from the box. Should be nice

I need to bondo the entire box and sand it down a couple times, as well as resin the inside. How many coats would be suitable, and what sort of hardener-resin ratio do I need for my mixture? Never really worked with resin or anything like that before.

And here are a couple pics, sorry there dark, barely took them around 10 when it was already dark:

The chevy logo stuck in place on the back. So nice.

The dowel rods in the box.

A picture of the port. Gonna paint it a glossy black after I resin it.

An aerial view of the box. It's almost all the way assembled!

Until next time, adios.

[mikescanlon 10+ year member]

looks great, are you going to brace from front to rear?.. like submountring to rear or box?

very good build quality.

No work tonight; for one, it's raining and sub 50 degrees, and I have a seminar to attend discussing western european policies during the 18th century, followed by a party for a friend.

:bye:

it's not in place permanently yet, just has two screws screwed a tiny bit in

Haven't done any real work on the box lately. Mounted the chevy emblem on there permanently, did some sanding, and caulked the edges. Decided not to resin the inside of the box at the recommendation of some people here.

Just though I'd post some pics of my truck that this box is gonna call home for a while.

Those are some SpeedyWheels Victory Rims 22x9.5's, wrapped in som Toyo Proxes S/T 305/40R22 rubber. 3" Rear 1" front Drop on it. Soon to have a Snuglid SL Bedcover on it(If anyone has a link to buy these, let me know).

For some reason the truck came out orange in some of these pics... It's really red.

Eventually the truck with have the SS front bumper, a roll pan, and maybe some side skirts. And some dark tint on the windows
