hibatch Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Just like it says, If i wanted to make my own box what would i need? a circular saw, and router to cut out the holes for the subs right? or is it more than that? I have a shop that will build me a box for 75.00, but i already have a circular saw, if i just need a router, ruler, and the hardware i could try to just build one myself.

PUNKYOU007 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 This is what i use. Square Tape Measure Countersink bit for countersinking the screws Drillbit for predrilling Wood glue 1-1/4" Drywall screws (these come out after the glue is dried) Bar or pipe clamps Table saw or circ saw Router with upcut bit Jasper Jig Now if you dont have/cant afford to buy a router and Jasper jig you can cut the holes with a jig saw, they wont be perfect but they will work just fine. Be creative and use the tools you have. Also I cant stress enough to people, USE YOUR RESOURCES....friends, mom, dad, their friends. Somebody has the tools you need.

So unless yall wanna fight and then have some great make up sex i will leave it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumonskateboard6 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) He thought you meant you were doing 13 x w3's as in 13 subs, not 13" w3's. To build boxes I use a panel saw, a table saw, compressor, router, nailgun, glue, clamps, jasper jig, palm and belt sander Edited April 8, 2011 by bumonskateboard6 Quote Current Systems: 2011 BMW 335i Hertz HDP1 DC LVL3 12" Full Carbon Fiber 2002 Acura TlKenwood DNX9980HD2 DCLVL4 12" Subs with LVL5 Parts D.7 CoilsDC 3.5kHertz HSK-165 up front HCX-165 RearHertz HDP4 AmpDC Power Engineering 260 Amp AltBig 3 and amp powered with KNU 1/0XS Power D2400 Up Front i pulled out my dick in class many of times and had it shown. get over it bitch...stupid open legged hairy beavered bitch... going over rms = smaller box, under rms = bigger box... Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth. A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish i could afford 13 w3's, if i could i would probably just go with some 18's instead.

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) If you already have a jigsaw, you can make most anything you want. There are jigs and guides that you can make (or buy) to cut circles, ovals, you name it. Circles are probably the easiest (just a board attached to your jigsaw with a pivot point). If you have a router, a Jasper jig is hands down one of the best tools EVER. I have three of them and am constantly using them. One is installed in my router box, one on a router and the 400 model just loose for those smaller holes. I'd say 99% of everything I've made has been with my routers, a straight edge, ruler, square, pencil, glue, clamps (edit: almost forgot about those), drill, a sander or sandpaper, and patience. Examples of router only creations: So it doesn't take a ton of money, tools, etc. to make some awesome stuff, it's how well you use the tools you have.
