Thanks guys, very helpful. I'm loading only 2 subs and port in the middle. The rear of the box will be equal on each side just the sides are not square. The front and back will be. It will be a little like Jared420's with a 6 Cu ft box connected to a 10 Cu ft box. The odd shape comes from the larger box being taller and the sides will have to be fiberglassed around the wheel wells. Sounds good so far.

Anyone else?

OK, I searched the forum and could not come up with an answer so please all the box building champs in here unite!! :drunk: I have a box I'm designing and I can get the rec. airspace but to do so it will take an extreme amount of fiberglass and a unique shaped box. It will be in a trunk car but the woofer will be in a half wall. The box will be longer than it will be wide and I have heard in the past may people recommend this but not sure why? Also the only way I can get the port to fit will be woofers forward port up. So #1 Does the shape make a huge difference and why? #2 port placement-Is woofers forward port up OK or is there a louder more efficient way? BTW I can actuall do something really crazy with the ports and have them wrap around outside the box and fire at the sides as well if that would be even better. Hell it would actually be easier to do! I know we have some crazy boxbuilders so what do you have!!!!

GYA!!!! that's the one. But what about for speaker terminals? Even on my Zapco 9.0 I can't fit 8 in it and 10 with a terminal has to be trimmed to fit WTF!!!!

I was just thinking about this today! I know they make something for power wire to go from lets say a 1/0 to a 2 or 4 gauge but I have never seen it for speaker wires. I'd love a 4 to 8 gauge! also a lot of amps have screw terminals which those items I spoke of earlier won't work on. Someone please help this man!!!

This thing is crazy! Guess it makes sence though since a sub is just an air pump basically. I'd use it in the home theatre but I'm too cheap! Anyone remember that crazy ass sub Phoenix Gold had that was a fan like that? It was more like a supercharger in a plexi tube and it was supposed to get REAL low. EDIT:Founded it!!!! Phoenix gold cyclone

Abortion doesn't fit this one though, If your conservative you think even a raped woman HAS to have the baby, if your a liberal you want her to have the RIGHT to choose. Just my .02

Looks good, lets get some shots of the box, etc.

That's actually on the menu! I have some curb rash so as soon as i get the money I'm going to have them fixed and since the tires will be dismounted I will be painting the front lip white and the rest black. Should look crazy!

Uh so you caught that......... :01nocomment8so: Had a few issues with the gun so I'm going to respray the black but I'm putting her together first since I don't need it torn down anymore to respray. I actually did miss one on the front passenger side fender but there is a reason for that Thanks, as you can see from my quotes i have to re do the black but overall it's not too bad for a first timer. The black is definately tempermental but i have a new gun to re shoot it and it will go real easy.

Sorry for the delay guys, got a sick daughter and couldn't get the car put all back together but most is done now and it's looking crazy! I'm gonna buy a few clips from the stealership that I broke and finish her up this week to get some photos done. Got a LOT more goodies in the garage waiting for installation to blow a few minds!

Thanks man, since I painted it I'm all sensitive and shit. I'm on here like a 15 year old who just discovered internet porn!

Alright, got a little update. Things have been crazy so I was delayed in spraying her down and even more delayed in getting the pics up. It would be even worse if I didn't the iphone cuz I ALWAYS forget the camera!!! A little flat black In the booth waiting to cure. Don't mind how dirty the rest of the car is!! A little side shot Rear shot I like the overall look but it came out a little streaky. I've seen a lot of flat paint jobs like that and there is no way I'm gonna leave it like that. As soon as I put the rest of the car together I'm gonna re spray the rest again but it's sexy for now!

Nice!!!! The 8 is reeeeeal sexy!

Man my 3 year old will get a kick out of that!

Man that is ridiculous!

Yeah man, I was shaking when I laid the first coat! The whole thing won't be murdered out though. The white is a flat white and will stay that way. The hood roof trunk and all chrome will be flat black for a flat 2 tone look. The white looks real good already so I'm excited! The only issue I have with a fully murdered out car is that the car HAS to be washed almost every day. ANY grease like your hand prints or even just some road grime looks terrible and blotchy. Seen it too much out here in Cali. That's why the only black is the center of the car. No one touches it at all. Hell the trunk has a crazy little handle that pops out when you open the trunk so I don't even have to touch it! The goal is to spray it today so we'll see!

Thanks, I appreciate it. It's my first spray job so of course I'm a little self concious about it!

Me too man, with this thing, work, and 3 kids I'm tired as hell. After this I still have a lowrider I've been working on AND I gotta re do the sounds in this one. Only hits low 130's and I know with a Zapco 9.0 and 2 12 MTX 9500's I can do more!

A little progress, got the chrome pieces primered and ready to paint. Hoping to get the rest of the painting completed by tomorrow. Prepped the grill Heres the rest of the pieces Primered! Got a little orange peel since it was so hot but I'll get that with a little sandpaper. Da grill What do you think so far?

It looked real. At first the reflection does look like a hand but it breaks when it flexes IN, like the vacuum from the woofers broke it! Crazy piece of shit!

A friend tried it at my house once. Basically it will pull out a perfectly smooth dent without a point or wrinkle in it the same as if you pushed on it from the rear. It's basically useless.

Damn, that sucks!! It really depends on how deep the scratch is I guess. If you think about it your not going to take the scratch out but actually scratch everything around it down to it's level. If they are not terribly deep then Id start with a 220 if you have to go aggressive or 400 if you can barely feel the scratch with your nail when you run it over the damaged area. From there just keep moving up to 600, 800, 1000 and then polish. There is a real good tutorial on here that shows how to clear lights with a rattle can clearcoat and I would recommend that too since your gonna be thinning out the plastic. The most important thing is to take your time!!

No, I cant really use photoshop very well

That sounds crazy! I was going to shoot candy but this is much simpler. Not 100% positive I'm ready to do candy just yet! Too bad no pic cuz I would love to see that!
