Well Im "planning" on building anothyer piece to the left false front, with a cubby in the back to house the wires then I plan on carpeting everything. Laying in the speaker and Amp, then I am gonna attempt a shroud made of fiberglass over the top, and front.

Fiberglassing will be delayed though because Im going on vacation from the 1st to the 14th so I wont start that till i come back. But carpet should be on tomorrow.

Sorry but port problem...
How large is the opening of the port in the box. It needs to be at least 1 and 1/2 the width of the port man.

hi. so is this a normal thing to do? at the very end of the port near the wall, it should 1 and 1/2 the width of the port?

it should be atleast the port width from what i remember...but yes.....1 1/2 for safety

 

[ruckus]

nice. I hope my box will turn out that good

I did mess up on cutting the speaker hole. I needed to be 1" more to the left. The grill is right on the edge of the porthole. but I was suprised how good my carpet came out since this was my first box.

looks nice, is that monitor trash in the background or does your box shield the magnet.

 

[ruckus]

its only a 15' so it will be trash soon. Im just too lazy to put it outside. I have a couple brand new 17" monitors sitting in my closet. and 4 19" monitors hooked up to my puters //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Ruckus...cute PC with the butterfly lol, JP. Ay, how would you recommend starting on applying the carpet/vinyl (in my case). Where should I start and with what size pieces you know?

 

[ruckus]

well the PC is my 7yo daughters //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif dont like her touching my PC //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

The carpet I did it right off the roll (had a 6 yard roll) started at the bottom 3/4 of the way down and layed the super77 let it tack and carefully spread it out like laying fatmat. I did the sides last and I found with the carpet by laying over the under carpet and cutting both layers with a razor at the same time and removing the bottom layer the top blends in perfect with the other side //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Never tried vinyl so im not sure how they do the sides and the meet at the bottom.

Thanks, it should be the same laying that vinyl...am I right, does anyone know?

not too impressed with the bass. I dont know if its the box, sub, amp, or a combination but it gets about as loud as my 2 12" kicker 03C124 did.
