[QUOTE="Lbetts818, post: 8552268, member: 665874"] So had a few minutes today and got box started and ripped out the factory speakers(and cleaned what looks like the previous owner murdered animals or something, was gross) in the dash and threw in some powerbass 3.5s and pretty impressed for 30$ speakers. Speakers reflecting off the window is not going to be permanent but for now had a amazon gift card and figured why not. Also got holes cut for the box, went with the exact same wood as lowes or Home Depot "birch ply" just minus the 1/8 of a inch of birch layer. Flex sealed the edges inside then used rattle can bedliner just to give it a little extra something in there. Will be adding 1 1/2" dowel rod and 1" rod for bracing. Port just got sanded and getting another coat or two then cleared. Going to use wood filler on any areas needed on the box then sand all smooth and pretty and paint it a hammered silver. Box is 9.5 cubes after displacements tuned to 32hz. I like to tune personly to 28-29 just because of what I listen to mainly, should get down though. And that's a 10" aeroport. Going to be a long slow build. Wife will be having surgery (nothing major but still expensive) so had to put my play money towards that. Will update as I continue to build and install. Here's the nasty @ss stock speakers that went.
