​

This is my first Build. Measures as 3 cubic feet at 38 Htz. I've hit a few bumps in the road but im working with them. I just ordered my speaker, Its going to be a 15" RD Audio Alpha. any ways i'll take constructive Critizrism and tips for next build. Thanks again Blove for the help. Now to the PIXZORS!!!

OK first I did a dry run no glue just screws. I attached the front and back.

Then attached both sides.

First Oops. Im just going to fil it with wood filler and seal it up with caulk.

First Port wall. Second oops: forgot to attach 2nd port wall.

Took it out and screwed it all back together.

Screwed from the bottom.

Third oops: split wood

Screwed the top of the port on and the sides to but missed a pic of that.

Thats all for today. Im going to work on bracing tomarrow. For the Baffles i think im going to wait till I get my sub to cut the holes. theres going to be 2 baffles with a 3rd as a flush mount. Oh and heres pix with it in the back of my truck.

To the left is my spare.

Right

Back all the way against the seats, and seats are str8 vertical.

Back of the hatch

Let me know what you think.

pretty good for your first box, a powersander could help you with some of the un-evenness of your cuts

I didn't think it was that bad either. You'll get better with each box you build.

Im old skool. a little elbow grease and it will be even. You should have seen the jig saw I used. It was brand new in the early 1900's.

Wow...looks good dude and its 3.3ft^3 but a lot or bracing will put it around 3ft^3.....Port turned out pretty good dude...tell me how yall like the perfect 1:1 ratio //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Whenever the spare is gone we're dfinately going to have to make a bigger box for this beast

yup some day there will be a wall there, but Wragold = Broke. Im still debating where to put the amp. attach to the back of the seat out the front of the box if it fits.

my neighbor has this cool do dad that predrills and drills for a counter sink. its my new best friend. only problem is its only a one inch predrill.

Oh yeah people tell what you think about painting the box the same color as my interior. A dark glossy red.

 

[Blove1991 10+ year member]

I think that or glossy black would look good

nice box never have i seen a port as such. Why is the side of the port closed off?
