Thought I would post (box build)

Pictures of my crappy box I built. It is the first one I ever built, and the circular saw was absolute GARBAGE. One of the supports that hold the base on were broken, so the blade would cut at angles and shiit. Oh well it works. It is 22x17x15 with a 2 inch wide port which goes back 13.5 inches then to the right 9 inches. RE Enclosure calculator said its like 2 cubes at around 33hz. No clue if its true or not, but its housing a 12" old school Type R, and it sounds pretty good. Much better than the prefab I had. Sorry I didnt take many pics, didnt even think about it.

Here is what RE Enclosure told me to make.

Here it is just starting to glue it together.

I dont think it turned out to bad. I had to sand a lot to get the pieces back to 90 degrees on the edges since the saw was gay. This was all done with a drill, shiitty circ saw, jigsaw, and a bunch of sandpaper.

Now what should I do with it? I was thinking sand it smooth and spray paint it maybe? Or truck bedliner. I dont know. I just dont wanna carpet it since that just makes it blah. I also forgot to paint the port, so I will probably use a paint roller to do that so its as even as possible. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

 
that's really not bad considering the tools you were working with. I saw one guy on here who made a box with a hand saw that wasn't too bad looking lol

and OP it looks good. Awesome that you did it with the limited tools (or just beat up ones).

Thanks guys. For my first build I like it. I know a lot of things I would do differently next time. I guess learning from my own mistakes is the best way to learn. Also, I will be buying a new saw before the next build //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
