Are the edges chamfered with a router, or did you do that with your saw?

A roundover is the favorite of most boxbuilders in the port.

I did it with a saw. They are just 45's, I think it should eliminate port noise but I don know yet because of my broken amp...

Does it look allright for my first box/amp rack build ever though?

I'm interested to know how the box sounds with the 45's...I've always been a fan of simply rounding them off.

Nice have at it, especially for a first build though...looking good.

Thanks, the pics really dont do it justice. The camera is really dirty so it makes it look way worse.

I will for sure let you guys know how it sounds when I get my rplacment amp...

i think that little small piece of the port should be taken out or put in a different spot... kinda looks like it doesn't surve much of a purpose to making the port longer.....

I have no idea, it was built to mathc the box recomended by Diamond.

I will throw up some pictures of what I have now to hold me over later..

OK so I have had my amp for maybe a week now?

Overall I am really impressed with the box. The only thing I would do over is either use thicker plexi or just MDF because I can tell that it gives alot so there isn't as much kick as their could be.

Like I said earlier, the camera is kinda diry (still havent even wiped the lense) and so the spots and stuff come up, but they aren't there. The Kenwood is my next project. I already have the RCA's in my H/U and they are chillen in the passenger bay until I install my speaker wire for my PG 6.5" RSD's.... Q-Logic kicks will be used as well.

Yea Knu makes some awsome stuff.

Is the plexi sealed to the wood so that air can't excape?

^ Kind of. Its screwed down in multiple locations so If any is escaping it minimal, but its not siliconed down or anything.

I might do that later, do you think it would make a big difference?
