That's the extent of my progress for today. Not much left. Still need to cut sub/port holes , screw on the back, silicone the inside edges, and sand it. Not sure how or if I will cover the enclosure. Going to give it a good listen before I drop money into carpet/paint. If I do anything it will most likely be carpet. I will try to get some pics of the subs tomorrow too.

Not any real progress but a few pics for ya.............

Spooney's perfect circle jig:

Hard to see but there is a cut line in there somewhere:

Ports marked out:

SA-15:

JBL GTi 15:

Return of the Ninja!!!

Port holes cut out:

Sub hole cut out :

Test fitting the sub and ports :

Throwing a little brace in between the ports. Pre drilling it here :

And glued and screwed :

Blurry pic of the revamped bracing for the back of the enclosure:

Probably going to add a brace top to bottom as well at some point. Waiting for the glue to dry a little before I put the back on and sand it up. Hoping to be done today minus the covering which I think will be boring old carpet

Looks good! Why are you running the SA the majority of the time though? I'd be running that JBL all day everyday! SQL goodness....

I guess I am thinking it will be a bit louder than the JBL while still sounding decent. Who knows though the JBL may just win me over.

Back panel pre drilled:

Laying down some glue:

Screwed down :

Sanded as much as I care to sand it. Will be carpeted in the end. Still looks ok though I think:

Just need to let it dry a bit and throw the ports and the sub in and let it rip. No terminal cup on hand at the moment so I think I will go ghetto style and run the wire out of the port until I get some carpet and a terminal around. All in all i'm happy with how the construction went. Just hoping she sounds as good as it looks.

Thanks. Been doing this for a long time but never had more than basic tools to get the job done. I would like to invest in a router and good table saw someday and really get crazy

Both ports in the box with ghetto wire coming out:

Feeling a little saucy tonight.........JBL GTi15 is getting the first shot:

Sub mounted and enclosure in the car:

Too **** late to give it a listen other than at low volume . I'm liking what I heard though even with the volume down. Hoping to turn it loose first thing in the morning. If she sounds good which I'm sure it will I am going to order carpet tomorrow. I can always adjust the ports a bit too if I need to fine tune it some.

Looking at my own pics I am already thinking of altering the box a bit. If I can decide on what sub is going to stay in the box I may add a second baffle and flush mount the sub.

Just gave it a quick full tilt listen and it sounds fantastic! Its hitting all the notes I was hoping for. Gotta get some carpet ordered up now. JBL is sounding **** good in its old age.
