Napalm Box Build. Pics!

Looks great man. You could have deffinitly done without the double baffle, but it doesnt hurt..

55-60lb sub needs a double baffle imo, especially if the circle cutout is 11 1/8" and the baffle is only 12.5" high.

HOKAY Small Update.

School is busy so yeah, and Napalm doesn't arrive til maybe tomorrow probably saturday so no hugr rush.

Primed and painted the port. Pics are bad and the paint is still wet but pics are always good. I might have some more pics up tonight when it's fully dried.

Looks bad, but it's the glare, you'll see it's better when it's dried.

nice job, lookin real good, loved how you masked off where the wood glues too. keep takin your time, and itll turn out great!

Thanks.

Guys, I will DEF recommend 2 layer's of primer and 3-4 layer's of paint when painting your port. It came out soo nice and it won't ever peel off or fade. The color is so crisp, yes it's only a port, but if your going to do it, do it right!

Looks good so far. What's the texture like of the paint you used?

 

[kicker06 10+ year member]

Thanks, what is it like when it's dried? It is very smooth. This is due to the many thin layers that I applied. I tried to do thin layer's and tried to get the paint spread out evenly to get the fullest color.

Thanks.

Today I set up my amp, finish most of the box and when the Napalm arrives tomorrow, everything will be hooked. Ill post the pics & vids in General when I get everything done!

Update.

Got the 4 sides together, glued and screwed. Cutout for the sub was done.

 

[kicker06 10+ year member]

Let me tell you.

These 90 degree clamps at $8 a piece were worth every penny. They make it soo much easier. Just make sure you get enough. 8-10 is a good number for a box with a slot port.

 

[kicker06 10+ year member]

Take a look!

Will update more today. Probably will be finshed

 

[kicker06 10+ year member]

Well, the only things left to do are to add some touch up port paint, glue and screw the top and mount the sub. Once it's here that is. ****ing DHL! Does DHL deliver on sundays perhaps?
