Phase 1

Gluing and screwing the plywood together. The sides and rear baffle will be 1 1/4" thick; the front baffle will be 2". Despite the fact there are screws holding the two pieces together, they get a little help from yard implements. It will be a few days before I get enough glued together to begin Phase 2.

Phase 2

So this is what was done today. With the plywood sheets glued, its cutting and assembling time. What you see here is one half of the build. There will be two of these boxes that will slide into Dennis' van. The board leaning up against the box is the baffle. The box is tapered (difficult to see) - with the top is shallower than the bottom.

A shot of the port hole. These cabinets will be tuned to 36Hz. You can see some of Dennis' IXL's in the background.

Tomorrow I will work on bracing, port and baffle. I'll throw up more pictures tomorrow on the progress.

If memory serves, Dennis already sealed/hardened the roof of his van and has removed a lot of the molding from the rear section.
