If you recall, sometime around June i got these subs to test out and play with. My CNC machine keeps me so busy, i hardly ever have time to do the one thing i bought it for, to build boxes. Weird huh? I make all kinds of stuff, but boxes are few and far between do the demand for the other items. I made a lot of stuff and got ahead of myself this week which gave me time to start the box for my two Pride ST 12" subs. I don't really have a vehicle to put them in right now but we will probably run these in Antheny's yukon since he is one of my best guinea pigs . Until he get's his 4 15" SMD Mini subs he is planning, we have an open canvas from his amp-rack back. In other words, i have 2 T2500.1bdcp on hand and it's just a quick box swap. I just gotta make the box! So here go's. This thing SHOULD be tuned to 34hz. I know i could tune it lower but i feel that is a nice sweet spot for a wide range of music. This is what the subs look like. It might LOOK like a box made of 1/2" MDF but look closer. It's 1" MDF with notched panels. These motors are so massive you have to wrap the 8ga direct leads around the motor a few times and then up into the basket out of the way. If you don't do that, you will not get it into the hole. All panels are notched to make for an easier build. It all goes together like a puzzle piece and makes it much nicer to work with.

LOVE the integrated port into the stacked pieces! Cool concept Steve. ...and then of course, the plexi and LEDs as the frosting on the top!

Steve, were you considering that box for something specific or a design experiement? I had a friend who ran a cabinet shop for a few years. He did some layering work with cabinets and the flexibility was VERY interesting. The finished product can have crazy contours and end up looking like one solid molded piece when all the finishing was done. Very interesting. You certainly got my attention. Thats one heck of a piece to have as a calling card.

well i hope it sounds good...but you never know. These things tend to have a mind of their own sometimes and what seems good ain't always...and what seems wrong can be really good sometimes too thanks man!

Is the bass going to knocc? Just kidding. I can't get over how clean it all is. I want to put it in a car that is also clear so that it can always be seen.

or, i could have just used a tube and regular pieces of mdf. Or i could have done it 10 other ways. This is how i decided to do it. Thanks for the sweet advice but i think i got this under control
