[QUOTE="Bass911, post: 6778647, member: 580057"] Don't know if you call this a build log or not because it's already finished. I've built plenty of boxes, but never really took pics or cared about showing my work. I took pictures this time. I kind of rushed through it cause I had a deadline to meet. It's not my best work, but it'll do. I built this for my homeboy. He wanted a custom look but not too fancy. So this is what I made him. It sounded real good to be underpowered, but he has a BXi2607d on the way. It in a Expedition and now he wants to know what he can do to stop some of the rattling. Let me know what you think? Let me know if the pics are too big so I can make them smaller the next time. It is dual chamber ported tuned to 32hz, 2.2 cu ft per chamber. [IMG]http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp337/jirving88/100_0889.jpg[/IMG] Just a little test fit before construction to see what's off because it's going to be off a little when Home Depot does the cuts. [IMG]http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp337/jirving88/100_0891.jpg[/IMG] [URL="http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp337/jirving88/100_0896.jpg"]http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp337/jirving88/100_0896.jpg[/URL] JL logo made with Hardwood and cut with handheld rotary tool. [IMG]http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp337/jirving88/100_0909.jpg[/IMG] Covered using Black Ostrich vinyl and 3M 90 spray glue. [IMG]http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp337/jirving88/100_0913.jpg[/IMG] Test fitting the 1.5 inch baffle before I put the Black vinyl on. I also put 3/4 inch sticky foam weather stripping around each sub for an air tight seal.
