Hotdog Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I would suggest using pvc cut to make your corners.

Coleslaw Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) I would suggest using pvc cut to make your corners. Kerfing small radius like those will be a bitch.A skillsaw and a straight edge will get you the desired results for a kerf, but a tablesaw is a life saver. If I did this, how do you attach the PVC to the MDF?Sounds like an idea to consider but I'm not sure how to attach them and would it be a problem as far as strength? fiberglass... Are you referring to that comment? Edited March 13, 2011 by Coleslaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleslaw Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Well here's the new redesign, I would like to stick with the kerfing design if possible because there is less cuts (not including the kerf cuts) so it is simpler to cut and less likely to have one piece a little too big or something. My question with this one is whether or not I should put the subs on top of the box rather than where they are in the picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never used fiberglass though and another reason I wanted to kerf it is so it's not so square since I don't have a router. The curves on the outside of the box break up the squareness a bit Edited March 13, 2011 by Coleslaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAM_Designs Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 If you want an easy way out() try 6ft^3 with a full length 6" aeroport for a 25hz tuning.

Lol, I dont think 6ft^3 would fit so well in my dorm room haha. And I don't think my 2 8's would do so well in 6ft^3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't think my 2 8's would do so well in 6ft^3 I thought you has 12's for some reason...in that case, do 2.75ft^3 with a full length 4" aeroport for a ~26hz tuning.

If you want to run with this design I'd put the subs on top and as far to the right as possible.

That would add about $15 to the total cost of the build though and I'm a bit tight on money atm.
