SOLO X 10 box building work log.

[mikescanlon 10+ year member]

i dont know : ) i like to do everything my own way. we'll see how it sounds, the last box sounded amazing, with the 45 degree ports in it, i was planning the same ports, but they're like huge inside the box, so i wasn't able to do it becuase i had to change the size of the box.

she's done, omfg it's loud.

my trunk is rattling, my 4x12's didnt' rattle my trunk this much, i guess experience is teaching me a lesson today, that 4x12 enclosure was the first one i made.

so yeah, it kicks ***, all finsihed pics coming up, i decided to forget the paint for now.

limited on amplification, going to throw it on my 300watt amp, and see how she does, then i'll get some **** and post it up on realm of excursion.

how come you always make those weird looking ports?

x2, as long as they work though.

work x10!! : )

uploading finished object pics now, it's loud, it hurts my ears, and that makes me happy, my little bass amp that could (100w) just couldn't anymore, this sub killed her today at 2 ohms //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

but, i just took my 4 channel premier and bridged the rear (removed 6x9's from action) and put it on there.

so i have front components and the subs running on one amp, i feel like i'm driving a truck now.

well, let me load this stuff up, no **** yet.

yes, this is my previous q power sub holding up my enclosure, the hatch wouldn't close with the enclosure hanging down like it was before.

far left.

far right

bad shot of an overview.

and thats aobut it, going to panel the floor out i think now so i can take that old sub out, and find a place for my new batteries.

thoughts, opinions?

i'm very happy with the way it sounds, and very impressed with what this box is doing for lows, and on the limited power i have.

i've seen alot of respected forum names browsing in the little "Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 3 (3 members and 0 guests) " window, please post what you think : )

long as its functional and loud - looks dont matter to much.

she'll look good tommarow, going to panel it in and make her look flush with the rest of the car, i made the bottom panel tonight, it's too dark to take anymore pics tonight, i ended up placing the sub back in a normal way, very very snug fit, : ) gotta love kickers templates, so the 2nd layer of the box goes on tommarow, then the panels on the outside of that, very nice : )

plus the blue and green house paint just for fun.

and there is how it ended up having to sit after i finished the floor panel tonight. the inverted sub was too tall, it hit the glass and i didn' tnotice until i turned it on, it rattled like a mother ****er, i'm glad my glass didn't crack or anything, it was slamming into the rear window.

sounds like a plan //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i was building a box for a L5 tonight (one of the l5's from the deleted thread, but this box was free, so I bullshitted it), and i just said FUK IT. i didn't cut the wood myself either which didn't help //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i'm actually quite impressed with the output of my L5 in the solox box, very impressed, it's a good little woofer.

pics of the build? u mean the single box? i crushed it already //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif it was so shitty, it wasn't even worth it. but i guess that's what happens when u build something for free thus don't give a shit about it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
