I got only basic tools to work with, 10" circular saw, jigsaw, and a drill. But anyhow, here it is:

Building two boxes for a RE MX 12": 1.5ft^3 sealed and 2.25ft^3 ported, will test both and see which one i like more.

Some main cuts made by Home Depot, the rest my circular saw did the job:



no router, so i'd to drill a few holes and let the jigsaw work it's magic:



test fitting ported box:



sealed box almost done, just need the top and bottom:



painting the inside of the ported box to match my carpet:



that all works, shall be finishing both boxes tomorrow. Can't wait til sub comes in!

2nd days work, i got carpet at a local walmart, it's not big enough for the ported box, so i only carpeted the sealed. Need to order carpet online.

Sand and rounded the corner:



top predill, prescrew, ready for some glue, can you said got 'screwed'!



car with fiberglass enclosure in factory sub location:



with sealed enclosure, it's finish!



with ported enclosure:



fewww..after 2 days of hard work, it's almost done! Still need to carpet the ported box, replace 4 awg with 1/0 power cable, do the big three, install new amps, deaden the doors (maybe the trunk if needed)...more to come!
