Photo blog ported boxes(at least 16 total pics!)

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.

Good thought. I've done it before, but I figure I'd save someone some bandwidth if it just had to load the link and not the pictures evertime.

Sorry..I'm using photobucket and I can't resize the huge pics.

Tomorrow I will take some more pics of them in the trunk itself hopefully.

Why did you make 2 boxes? Coulda made one common chamber box and saved some wood.

Wouldn't've fit any other way. Also, if one sub would happen to fail, I would have a sub that would still work.

Alright coulda used a center divider, but I understand fitting. My bro has a 97 grand am and its a bitch to get a box in the trunk.

You have to do some crazy manuevering(sp) just to get my boxes in there right. First you have to set them in like you would a normal box(horizontally). Then when both are in like that, you have to shift them, little by little, until they are both verticle. Having a fold-down seat really helps with that. Pics will help me explain.

Too much work for dual sub set up... Just get one powerful *** sub, but does the bracing affect the airflow of the box?

As far as I know, the bracing has a big enough opening to allow adaquite(sp) airflow. And I would love to get a "powerful *** sub," but I already have my shivas and I'm too poor right now to get a new one. A mag would be nice, but its just a tad out of my price range at this moment.

Many many crappy-quality pictures for your enjoyment.

Nice, building one box was a huge pain in the *** for me, nevermind two that came out exactly the same. rep +1

Where do you find clamps like that and how much do they cost?

 

[mikey060 10+ year member]

if your talking about the corner clamps...any hardware store (around here atleast) and they are $10-15 give or take, depends on size
