Slanted boxes

I don't know why you'd attempt to put an 18" in a trunk. Too much work. It'd be much easier to get a pair of 12"s loud in a trunk then an 18".

If you poke around the build logs, you can find 2 of mine... both are of the same style of box, but the first one just didn't work out at all.

Thread is called 3rd times the charm? First try I built the box in too many different pieces and had WAY too many mistakes, 2nd time, I used the first box as a template basically, added some bracing and such, but the angle was still kickin my arse... It really is annoying =P

I think once I get my jigs set up for cutting all kinds of angles on my table saw im going to post them up for people to use to cut angles easily on their table saw...

^I was going to make some jigs to cut the length of the boards at weird angles (tapering jigs, basically)...but yea, for the end pieces you'd just tilt the blade //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I've sent both FI and TeamPSI messages, but FI never returned my email, and TeamPSI has been hit or miss most of the time. I did get in contact with IA and they seem to think they can help me out

I already have the basket and motor, so why not? I was thinking about makin it a 12, but I don't think it'll be loud enough. My trunk is large enough to do 7cubes drop in with aeros, I've done it already. Got a cheap 12 basket for me?

Router, flush trim, and a straight edge work GREAT for the side panels //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

That's how I used to do it but ive got some jigs I want to try for some cuts that should make it really fast and easy

Interesting. Id like to see pics on how to do this accurately. You can use a mitre gauge to do it, but its never very accurate.
