[QUOTE="valin, post: 6103695, member: 567894"] I made some more progress today. I finished painting up the ports, and threw the top of the box on. I also cut the holes for the subs out with a jigsaw [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG]. Since these subs are HEAVY, I didn't want to screw them in since they will be sitting on the face of the box, not on the top. So, I popped over to the hardware store and picked up some mounting stuff so I can run bolts instead. Here's what I picked up, and installed. I drilled right through the double baffle for the bolts, then I countersunk from the inside so the nuts would pull into the wood. I also coated them with JB Weld so they are not going anywhere. [IMG]http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x241/ryanvalin/Tundra%20Sub%20Enclosure%202/box2001.jpg[/IMG] I also did some bracing in the box today. I went out and picked up some threaded rod, and some 1" wooden dowels. I threw the wooden dowels in to help brace the top and bottom of the box, and the two threaded rods will brace the rear of the enclosure, basically about 1/3 of the width apart from each other. The threaded rods are only in there for the photos because I will have to remove them in order to carpet the enclosure, then install them properly.
