My latest box build

[bonesninja 5,000+ posts]

Another simple one......nice birch sealed box for a TC9 12" sub. Nothing crazy, just glue and screws. Only thing i have left is the sub cutout and filling in the screw holes with wood filler. Used a 3/8" roundover.....i'm diggin the birch as far as looks and sawdust goes but i like the non-splintering of the MDF better...the birch box is much lighter tho.

On to the pics

is this for me? you know whats funny, i assumed you were making it out of mdf. but i was thinking about asking you to make it out of birch cause people told me it was just as strong but lighter.

i really think you are a ninja.....

i read your mind....the birch is a bit more costly but i'll eat the cost on this one (wasn't that much more) but YES...this one is yours!! And it does feel alot lighter

finished pics ....well sort of. Need to finish filling the screw holes with filler

I don't understand why people who aren't painting or vinyling bother with filling the screwholes? When I fill, I always leave some excess filler there to blend out the fact that there's a depression. That ends up looking like shit if you don't paint it. Even if you do sand it all off, why bother?

Looks like the wood's a little bowed? Looks beautiful other than that.

im undecided if i am going to paint or just paint the front and make a beauty panel.

i would stain the front of it then make a panel to place around the edges of the box in vinyl or somthin if you know what i mean

eh just about everything in my system (and car for that matter) is black/silver. i think i might paint the front silver, then wrap a beauty panel in black vinyl or carpet. the sub is all black with carbon fiber.

there won't be a depression when i'm done. Flatboard sanding FTW
