Thats a good idea using the two pieces of wood in between the port never thought of doing that.

Two pieces? What part are you talking about? That ONE brace perhaps?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Boxes are done, by the way. I won't be able to put them in my car until tomorrow afternoon. This is because I have to wait 24 hours for the caulk inside to cure so I don't mess up my foam surround.

Um, care to explain? I love it how people who have been here for weeks think they know how the older members are.

nice work man. If you plan on building a few more, invest in a router and a jasper jig; circles are cake-walks, just a suggestion.

Thanks for the compliment. And thank-you for the advice on the router/jasper jig. My jigsaw isn't going to cut it(no pun intended) for very much longer. I had to keep making my circle bigger until the sub fit. No fun at all.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

That looks really good my friend, looks like you found your future career...probably the most solid box built this side of the mississippi.

Oh..and obviously post count doesnt mean anything when your 400th post is

"400th post" and a quote of someone ELSE saying something...

why is there a hole inside the middle piece...j/w....but i thought that piece was supposed to be solid.....unless its for a ported...lol i didnt pay attention to the pics lol

I'm not sure you payed attention to what you were saying either

Pics of said circle? I remember the days, had to get 16 stitches due to flying blades while making the last of the caulk boxes *reminisces*

he just got them hooked up, didn't listen to it much but it sounded pretty **** good, slightly better to my ear than the previous boxes

I was wondering what that type of bracing would do to the airflow in the box.... I saw that technique on the JL Audio site, but it was in a sealed enclousure situation. I'm definatly going to incorporate a brace similar to yours in my design. Props +1 Rep.

No im saying inbetween the port. to keep it from coming back.

Oh I understand now. Those are 2 pieces of spare mdf i used to space the pieces out. My port just so happened to be 1.5" wide so I figured I would get it as exact as possible by using none other than 2 pieces of .75" wide mdf.

Like bholtmeier said, boxes are in and running. There is most definitly more output than the old 1.75cuft 29hz boxes. I may be losing a very little low end, but it isn't noticible. I wish I could fit two of the recommended 3cuft ported boxes in my trunk, but that just is not possible. As soon as I can, I would like to get my car db'ed. I just need a number to describe how loud it is for my daily driver setup.

Thanks to anyone who thought I did a good job. In my opinion, I believe these aren't the highest of caliber boxes that I could achieve. Some day I would love to be as good as PV and Moe Lester. We'll just see how that goes. lol.

Thanks again!

There is no brace in between the port....maybe look at the picture again and you'll see something differently

you should learn to copy the image tag links that photobucket gives you.

they look like

and they're in the third box with a link in underneath the picture.
