  1. What are some good routers that arent gonna break the bank

    I've had that one for about 5 or 6 months now and it gets used hard... haven't had any problems with it. Works fine for cutting circles out of 1/4" - 1.5" MDF. Just have to go slow and when I do 1.5" I will usually do two passes.

    I bought the same router about a year ago and have not had any problems as well.

    Well my wall for 2 BTL 18s is 13.75cubes, 35hz tune, and 200" or port. Could probably use a little bit more port area. Here it is:

    I did mine simple, just built a huge box and made trim panels. Maybe not the 'best' way, but simple for me. This is in an 01 Impala. Don't be afraid to tune a bit higher, like 34-35hz. With the box you listed, how long is your port going to be?

    Hey your wall looks good man! I do not know what the length of my port is going to be at this moment and I have not decided on whether I am going to build a box outside of the car and then take my door off like my last build (except this time make trim panels and seal) or build the wall in my car. What are the dimensions of your box? One thing I know for sure is that I am going to position my port at the top like yours and put the subs on the bottom.

    from what i understand walls are not for the faint of heart once your start your fucked till your finished but the finished product is amazing im not 100% on tuning and port area but it seems to me the same basic principles apply in the same way as a regular box but i might be wrong on that

    Yeah it is the same principles to my knowledge, but I hear from some people they like to lower the frequency when building a wall. I think for more air flow.

    Today I took out my box for my btl's and I think I want to build a wall. For a wall in a car what frequency and port area should I be shooting for? I was thinking something like 14 cubic feet and tuned to 32 hertz with about 300 square inches of port area(for daily driving). I have just ripped out my box that was to my window line and want to do a bigger and badder build but I wanted to hear what other people think before I start. This is going into a Mercury Grand Marquis. I have never built a wall, but I have watched many builds on this forum and any tips appreciated.

    Thanks,

  10. Fiberglassing

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    Currently, my box for two Fi BTL 18's is flexing a little bit in one area near my port.(I have bracing but no fiber glassing) I want to build a new enclosure in the near future and am a little confused with the steps of fiber glassing the inside of a box, I am not talking about fiber glassing a cloth on the outside. Do I just put the material in place and then resin over? Is their a certain caulk that I should use when using fiber glass? Can I paint over the fiberglass or do I need to apply something else? If someone could please answer my questions I would greatly appreciate it because I want to start building a newer stronger enclosure. Thanks Nate

    I love walls... good job but, I was thinking how many decibels (an estimate)do you lose because you have a sunroof.

    Yeap, I'm pretty impressed by this setup! I had been considering just running one sub for a minute now. Kinda have me thinking I should have just keep one of my Havocs and T1500-1bd and put it in a box like this. I think I'm through box building for a while. Probably change sub and amp next year some time, but I'm really enjoying this Q right now! :yahoo:

    Good job it looks like 2 18"s

  25. Bit For Router

    in TOOLS and TESTING Devices

    Posted

    It is called a spiral upcut bit. And the bit to round edges is called roundover bit with different sizes. And the bit to trace another pattern is called flush trim bit. Hope that answered it.

    What does the size of the round over bit determine? Is it determined by the size of the wood (example 3/4 mdf) or does it determine the roundness of the wood?
