Trâgîk Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I might post some pics of the build process at some point here but i was curious, after i cut and sand and do the prep work to get it ready to put together, do you guys wipe the mdf off with anything to get all the dust off?? Or just use a dry rag or vacuum? I plan on putting fiberglass resin inside also to seal and smooth everything. I sanded everything with 400 grit already so its pretty smooth as is but how do u clean it? I know it sounds like a dumb question but i wasnt sure -----SELLING EVERYTHING---- 2 DC sound labs 3.5k's (still avail) 2 HDC312A D1's (still avail) 5 XS Power Batteries (1 d3400 and 1 d1200 left) 4 runs of knukoncepz 0 gauge (have all the wire still) DC power 270XP alt (sold) RF T1 6.5 components (both sold) Powerbass XAX 4160 (still avail) Custom built box 4.75^3 tuned 34hz (still avail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trâgîk Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 ok so im going to post the progress of my box, so if anybody has any tips or advice let me know.. im doing my baffle in two seperate pieces because i used part of my old box that i made and it didnt come out how i wanted too so this time im taking my time and trying to make it right..when it gets nicer out i might try and go for a partial wall or something but this is what im goin with now..its going in the trunk, external dimensions are 35w x 15.5h x 25.5 deep with a double baffle, internal volume after bracing,corner, and disp is 4.75 with i think it was 15 something inches of port per cubic ft..5" wide port too, tuned to 34HZ... thats what i think it was because i drew the plans and stuff over a month ago so i cant remember exaclty but i used winsid and some other programs.. well heres the pics: not glued yet but just to show placement ok well thats where i got to today...i dont have clamps so im pre-drilling holes and using screws but i plan on taking some out and filling the holes because some the screws didnt set all the way in, i didnt want to split the wood, but what you think so far? -----SELLING EVERYTHING---- 2 DC sound labs 3.5k's (still avail) 2 HDC312A D1's (still avail) 5 XS Power Batteries (1 d3400 and 1 d1200 left) 4 runs of knukoncepz 0 gauge (have all the wire still) DC power 270XP alt (sold) RF T1 6.5 components (both sold) Powerbass XAX 4160 (still avail) Custom built box 4.75^3 tuned 34hz (still avail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumonskateboard6 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 It looks pretty good so far, you really don't have to sand the wood edges before putting them together unless you use a circular saw and end up with some high and low spots.

Yeah i forgot about that. I have a question,seeing as im fiberglassing the inside, do i still need to silicone the inside edges? And if so, i do it before figerglassing right? I wasnt sure if the resin would stick to it.. -----SELLING EVERYTHING---- 2 DC sound labs 3.5k's (still avail) 2 HDC312A D1's (still avail) 5 XS Power Batteries (1 d3400 and 1 d1200 left) 4 runs of knukoncepz 0 gauge (have all the wire still) DC power 270XP alt (sold) RF T1 6.5 components (both sold) Powerbass XAX 4160 (still avail) Custom built box 4.75^3 tuned 34hz (still avail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumonskateboard6 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 It depends if you're going to do glassing through the corners. Its all about making it as air tight as possible. I'd say go ahead and fiberglass and resin the whole box and let it dry, then take a compressor with a spray nozzle attachment, set it to about 100psi and run it around all the edges of the box, if air comes through find out where it's coming from and add some silicone to there, or more mat and resin. Just my 2c though.

Yeah my main goal is to have it as air tight as possible onviously -----SELLING EVERYTHING---- 2 DC sound labs 3.5k's (still avail) 2 HDC312A D1's (still avail) 5 XS Power Batteries (1 d3400 and 1 d1200 left) 4 runs of knukoncepz 0 gauge (have all the wire still) DC power 270XP alt (sold) RF T1 6.5 components (both sold) Powerbass XAX 4160 (still avail) Custom built box 4.75^3 tuned 34hz (still avail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justified Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Your box looks good, nice job. resin will not stick to silicone at all, it will soak in and bond to mdf very well though you dont need to sand it so fine, but should be alright.I owen a fiber glass shop we sand every thing else with 80 to 24 grit, but on mdf the resin will soak in just keep that in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
