***sean 371's Tahoe Build Log***


Recommended Posts

Okay, so it's been a while coming, but parts are starting to come together, and I'll be doing the box build and install fairly soon, starting possibly tomorrow.

Parts list so far:

1 RFt10001bd

2 12L5's (06 model)

All KnuKonceptz Wiring (1/0 kolossus wire, which is actually 2/0.)

Here's a quick rendering of the box build. (didnt bother with the other side, but you get the idea.)

Separate chambers, 39.75 inches of port per sub, 14 inches long. Went with kicker's specs on this one.

Lemme know what you think guys!

Edit: New pics (3/6/07)

Started the box tonight. Couldn't get too far because I ran out of wood and had to make a HD run, but here's what I got so far:

Bottom wall (All cuts were made freehand with a circular saw)

Bottom, back, and right side

Now it's time to smooth some things out on the right side, cut/put in the last 2 45's, and move on to the left!

Looks like a good design, only parts missing are the now standard "Meade 45's" or other form of corner 45's in wood/FG/Duraglass/etc.

But the air flow to/thru the port will be better if you do 45's on the corners.

Hmm, I do have about a half gallon of resin lyin around...MDF 45's with fiberglass over it perhaps. I gotta do this whole school thing for the next 7 hours, but I'll start building after that. Pics up soon.

Edit: more pics! (3/7/07)

Edit: Changed my mind on the amp rack, I'm gonna mount them on the back of the box instead. They fit almost perfectly.

Comments are welcome!

you got a tuning frequency?

Edit: It's actually at 39 hz. Which is why I'm rebuilding at 32 hz.
