Walling off my car, part 2 (the pics thus far)

you know thats allot of reading so i skiped allot of parts. but here is a drawing that may help with the corner issue. you can add the baffle from the inside to double up the top wall and use the 2 x 4 to hold and add strength to the corners and all of the edges like this.

Since there was only one layer on the top, I recommended that they add a layer to the top on the inside. Then they could screw the sides in to the top, then screw the top layer of the top to the inside layer. This would tighten everything up.

But that drawing is a good idea as well. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Doesn't really solve the top layer weakness though.

Appreciate it, but this wall is being torn down. I will start a new thread when we redo it in a few days, you guys will be a lot more impressed.

Any other suggestions? I'm probably not going to knock down the wall and rebuild, so don't suggest it. 2x4s all around the wall when it's all done might be a possibility though.

That idea didn't last long. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

saywhat reminded me of cabinet shops... I didn't want to rebuild because I'm not looking forward to the cuts. I'm gonna pay a cabinet shop to do the accurate cuts, then it should be a breeze from there. I might take a day off of school and do it with Tom in a day, or we may just work on it afterschool/work this week. In any case, I'd like to get it done by the weekend.
New plans (courtesy of my man Grant [and Tom I think])

Titebond II, lots of screws, this is going to be nice. No bracing has been added but that will be accounted for. I'm still open for suggestions, tommyk has been helping me out a little too. 16 cubes @ 33 hz I believe. Sub/port placement has been rearranged due to the fact that I'm doing a Bass Race only setup now, no need to gain one decibel and complicating the design.

i think you guys should put as much tought on how is the enclosure going to be assembled. just as much as you put on the design of how its going to sound.

im sure you guys got it down this time around.

keep us posted.

Why not use the walls of the enclosure as the port so air can't flow around the outside of the port?

Forgot to post, we were just talking about that (tommyk and I)... port will be dropped to the bottom, and use the floor as a wall, design update soon.

lol i was wondering the same thing, but tought that you guys may be doing a removable port.
