[QUOTE="Bun-Bun, post: 3959999, member: 584852"] So its too cold to do any work on my car right now so I decided to start a little project that I can do in the apartment since i have new speakers on teh way. What I plan to do is build little enclosures for my coaxials that are on there way and make them adaptable to components later on. This is also going to be practice at making boxes for when I go to make my sub box in my car. The last box I made (while it impressed the hell out of my friends) was not the greatest thing... it molded and bulged out and the bracing broke (had 4 10's pounding away in it... didnt not realize the force those would generate on the baffle... lol) and yeah... also I have never carpeted before so this will be the time to learn. My questions are... what kind of sizes am I looking at here for some coaxials? does it need to be a certain size? or can it just be deep enough to mount the speakers and some foam? should I insulate them in anyway other then just egg carton foam on the back face? Also should I put them in the same enclosure? Thinking of making seprate enclosures for all four so that I can move them around and play with imaging... Thanks for any advice [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] EDIT: Also what material should I make them out of? I was thinking 1/4" MDF... [/QUOTE]
