so as the title says this is my first time building a box and just wanted to know what you guys think so far and if ive managed to mess anything up along the way...subs are 2 12" L7 4 ohm...I know I know but these are only temporary til i get back from my deployment, but any ways box specs: 20h x 15d x 49w port is 4w x 18.5h and is 18" long...on with the pics!

just lining up where the holes will be so i can flush mount the subs

and this is where im at now, before i glue and screw anything down i want to make sure its all good, open to any opinions and help thanks

Looks like a good first box build! Only problem I see is it looks like the port walls might not all be perfectly straight. Could be the camera angle though. But they don't look that far off either.

Sorry just read that you haven't glued or screwed yet.. That could fix the problem //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

thanks dude, i had a question about the back port walls, i read somewhere that they should be half as wide as the main port, meaning my main port is 4 in and my rear port walls would be 2 in from the back...does this sound right?

Looks like a great box build. I have built like 5-10 boxes and my skills are nowhere near that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Of course I have no tools. My wood gets cut at Lowes or Home Depot. I have no router. No braces or supports to hold anything in place.

all i have is a skil saw, jigsaw and some clamps...hit up harbor freight dude clamps are like $5...my first couple of pieces were cut at home depot too

They are not carpenters, and their saws although they look cool are not precision, as they are used by retards day in and day out. so good stuff turns to crap

yea thats y i said **** it and just went and bought a saw

 

[texas_av 10+ year member]

so as my box sits now is there anywhere i should add some bracing? i was also planning on fiberglassing all the joints together and making the 45's out of resin
