that is my first box, how does it look? 2 cubes at 32 for the 12" mag on the way, port edges rounded and everything.

looks just fine, sub cutout a little rigid, i take it you used a jigsaw? but it looks fine, but it needs to sound good. who cares about looks, its about sound

circle looks a little shaky. Edges dont look like they match up perfectly and screw happy? Overall not bad //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

it's an ok first box

For a first box it will do. Sub will clean up the rough circle cutout, and too many screws is not gonna make it quieter. Looks good so far and I bet it will sound even better.

You planning on adding some carpet or anything maybe paint or some finish?

Looks pretty darn good for your first attempt. My only thing to nit pick at is the circle cutout. Take your time on it.

Is there anything wrong with too many screws? I've only built a few boxes so the question is genuine.

Edit: grats on the box pioneerpimp, though like mentioned I'd give the speaker cutout more attention on future boxes. Have you priced a circle jig for your jigsaw? They can normally be had for pretty cheap, under 20 bucks. Or you can get some really smooth cutouts with a router and jig. My first box, I couldnt even get straight edges correct!

yea i am screw happy, im just conscious about it not being sealed well enough..and i used a saw-zaw for all the cuts, they are a little messed up. i did go too fast

but sub shud cover that up..and im not thinking im gonna carpet it or anything, i like it, im all about the sound also. i hope it sounds good, port said to be 2 inches and it is. i built this from the moe lester sticky. does 2 inches seem right for the port size? i dont really knwo anything about the science of a box

cuz it looks like its 12 inches of port height. so if thats true you have 24 sq inches of port. which will be just fine for 2 cubes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
