Ok well I figured out how it's "stuck." The box is too deep. So when I get carpet I will have a major sanding job to do on back side to make it fit or make a FG enclosure. The box isnt even sitting on the floor of my trunk. It's about 1/2" above the floor cuz its too deep so its suspended. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/pissed.gif.9f665f96bc89e98e708dabd4580bb591.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

i mistakenly used particle board on my first box too hehe. it held up fine, and i never had a problem with it, but it was used in a relatively low power application. my current box is mdf )

from the jl audio website:

------------------------

Avoid using particle board at all costs as it is too flaky (literally), doesn't hold screws well and swells like a sponge when water hits it. In short, particle board comes from the Pit of Hell. Avoid it at all costs.

A TRUE STORY

We once heard of a fellow using a triplet of our 10W6's in a sealed box powered with a 1200 watt amplifier. The box was not braced at all, was one big chamber and was made of particle board. While demonstrating the system for a crowd of people, the box literally exploded in his trunk, coating his trunk with sawdust and enclosure shrapnel, leaving the subs to play in free-air (not cool). Not only is it frustrating (or really cool, depending upon your personality) to have a box explode in your car, but it can also be very dangerous....after all, you could poke an eye out!

Coated mine with resin inside so it will hold. Eventually will make FG enclosure.

It's been in since Friday. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Will get pics later today.

cool, how does it sound? are you happy with it?

 

[negativezeroz 5,000+ posts]

Sounds good yes. I just wish it actually fit with some room left over rather than scratching my trunk and floating above the floor. Oh well I can always make a FG later.
