Cutout hole for 12" Type R ??? *PICS*

[SHiZNiLTi 10+ year member]

I'm in the process of building my first box. So far I pretty much have all of it done except for the cutout hole for the new 12" Alpine Type R SWR-1222D that will be here hopefully on Friday or Monday. The BXi 1606D will be purchased in 2 weeks or probably next paycheck.

What is the diameter of the cutout hole for this woofer that I need to make?

Good Idea to paint the inside of the port black before you put it all together...

Husky air nail guns...

Hella tight...

Will look good once it's carpeted black...

The factory cover still works so the system is not visable from outside...

Pic with the top off to expose the tuned port at 30hz...

Another angle with top off, notice the double thick front, no flex allowed...

Can't see it from outside...

Pic from inside with the back seats down...

What the end result will be like, this guy uses close to the same design...

it'll have a some nice gain around tuning though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

No, it is not a good idea to paint the port that way before putting it together. Wood glue bonds wood to wood, not wood to paint. You don't really have a bond if you're gluing sealed/painted wood to end grain. Think about it like this. Stick your tongue to a piece of paper, and it'll pick it up. Stick your tongue to the same piece of paper but only laminated, and it won't pick it up.

I've designed and made a box like that before //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
