Let the box building begin...PICS

The box looks pretty good, BUT the amp is upside down //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif, the sub might have an airleak in the area indicated above, and those wires don't look that great. Great job though.

A) whatt matt martin said

B) what he said again

C) temporary spot for the amp, will be going under the box, you wont see it at all!

D) thanks

Yeah, getting it out of the trunk is the fun part. But i did it yesterday some how.

Considering the complexity of the build it didn't turn out too bad at all. A second baffle will fix the cutout, and all will be left to the design as far as how it sounds.

Sub comes Friday for those interested. Too bad Brandon's nine.1 won't be back for another week or two. Curtis (ctminime) better let us use his nine.1 to at least see how it sounds.

just took the time to read the entire thread....good stuff...suscribed...and i cant wait to hear how the dam thing sounds but like other people said im worried about that sanding...throwing another baffle on there hopefully will seal that off completely but from what i see in the picture i dunno.....

to fix the air leak (or compensate for it rather) you could use a hand router to go down a 1/4" where the sub would normally mount. it would give you a cleaner look and negate the sanding error but you'd sacrifice structural integrity of the mounting screws. As long as you countersink the mounting holes, you should be fine.

Heres a few pics of the 2nd baffle installed. I also put one on the front of the box so it look nice. You may notice the "leaks" on the sides. they aren't leaks however, it's just from where we sanded it down. No air is gettin through that badboy.

Gonna hear it tomorrow!!!

Looks good. Going to carpet it ?

 

[slikrider20 10+ year member]

I have 8 yards sittin next to me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif it'll lok nice as **** with a good carpet job.

 

[slikrider20 10+ year member]

Not gonna carpet it unless it's amazingly loud. Cuz i know the design is flawed, meaning i can get better. It's just if its that **** nice, i wont even bother hehe. at least not right now. i'm kinda "box'ed out" for awhile

I'm not even sure i posted the specs on this box

3.3cubes, tuned to 31hz...with 53 sq inch of port area. Should bump hard yo.

I'm actually going to make 2 little things on sides where the sub mounts to make it fill my whole back deck. Just mainly for looks. I'll carpet those seperately and screw them in from the inside.
