Time for a new box! Going to try something ive never built before
Always liked the look of an angled baffle box, plus it helps with space big time. just never had the cuts to attempt and build one.
Port piece
Now its time to start gluing and screwing to make it permanent!
The top will have to be slid all the way over, its an EXTREMELY snug fit lol
Almost looks like a box now. I also did these baffles in a very strange order but Im glad I did, cutouts for the double baffle came out alot easier
I left extra material on the inner baffle so the T nuts will have as much area as possible to bit into. I can always flush trim it but the subs fit fine with no obstructions. Added some bracing and started to prime the inside while the top is still off
Now this is the only thing about the box that Im pissed about. Port is blocked by about an inch, after flush trimming the port top with 2 baffles the angle added up and tapered the port
Do you guys think it will compromise sound in any way? I really dont think it will but who knows.
Ran out of primer:
Primed the top too!
Almost ready to paint the port!
Now I need your guys input here. How should I finish the outside? Im not going to just slap some rustoleum on it to paint it black, thats too boring and ive done it the last 2 boxes.
I have some ebony stain that looks OK but there isnt enough grain visible to show it off really. Ive never carpeted a box yet and I think this may be the time to!
Also what color for the port? Black? I feel that will match whatever is on the exterior way better than a grey. I was thinking red to color match the car but thats too gawdy.
(subs are just resting there, the cutout is so precise I have to pressure fit them in and yes the right one is crooked, just an idea of how much will be visible.)
