pics of the box you built?

i'll be honest and say it looks like crap as well, but i know the difficulties of building a box in the trunk, thus i feel your pain.

BUT, you're joints(meaning the cuts) could have been better. An easy way to do it is prefit the box together outside of the trunk and drill all the holes you need, then when you put the pieces in the trunk all you have to do is glue the boards together and feed the screws through the pre-drilled holes.

What looks so bad?

I have to finish up the front of the port....

I dont know if you understand how small a civic trunk is. The entire thing had to be assembled inside.

If you see that slash on the front baffle, thats where the **** circular saw popped outta track and almost cut me in the thigh. I dont even want to go get another piece of wood though since its on on the surface really.

147.7 was better than what the rest of the team guessed.

Im putting an AB VFL 15" in there tomorrow, and hopefully an MT. Get it metered and see how much more work i gotta do.

Oh, believe me, i know ALL too well. Try putting 2 boxes in a '00 mustang trunk, or a 2.5 cube after displacement box in a '95 cobra. I know exactly what you are talking about. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Mustangs have the smallest trunk openings EVER. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

What looks so bad?

The cutout for the speaker, The split wood within the speaker cutout. The uneven cuts on the edges, And the duct tape. Other than that good job. I also know how small a civics trunk is.

 

[btnhfan 5,000+ posts]

Yea. And whats even worse, is that Ill probably have to build an even bigger box for next time. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif I think Im going to go with 2 12" MT's. I can either run 1 15" or 2 12"s.

Im definatley going to have to pick up one of those right angle drills. It would be a lot easier.

And it wasnt directed to you, it was for trigger.

no, no you dont...

 

[tRiGgEr 5,000+ posts]

no, no you dont...

Dude thats my 10 min box I threw together for those 2 dollor 8's. If you want to compare his trunk build for comps to my ghetto project box you are just trying to be an *** hole.

Look at my other boxes. There not 10min ghetto jobs. *** hole //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Do you know what the duct tape is for? Its not there to seal it or whatever, its there to create a smoother curve, and make the air more linear.

Who looks out the cutout? I made it at 14", because I dont know how big it wil be for an MT. The tighter the better. I didnt know people could see the cutout for the sub on boxes now....
