Thanks everyone. And that outside kerf will be rounded over in the future //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Progress pics tomorrow night.

i like doing it like this

try it next time should save you some time.

Yea, may do that in the future for an easier 'full-curve'

And a little update. Things arent going very quickly at this stage due to us trying to figure out the finish that will look the best and be the best bang for the buck as well.

^Not all mounted to the bottom panel yet due to planning a finish...may need it detached still for finish.

Much appreciated, man //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Kind of at a stand-still on this for the time being while a choice is made on the finish //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Agreed... Not a huge fan of the paint/carpet mix here. Box is incredible tho.

Thanks guys, he wanted something different and suggested it so I went with it. I like it, though, I also like a fully painted port lol

im pretty sure i dont have the skill or the table saw for that matter to even attempt kerfing, but your gonna have to use the router on the box top and it will need to be pressed up against the carpet, maybe you got excited and started carpeting a little early

 

[Pioneer~Saturn 5,000+ posts]

Nope, I needed to carpet the baffle before mounting it in order for the carpeting to go back into the port //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

And I have my ways of replicating that kerf bend without a router //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
