Quiet Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 For those subs, it wouldn't hurt to do a double baffle. Cut two baffles, spread the wood glue evenly between the two, then either clam them together or put a few cinder blocks on top and let dry for 12 hours or so. I'm not so sure you'd hear a difference, but when you upgrade you can use the same enclosure... The only problem is, the only upgrade you can do would be to other JL subs, W6v3's or w7's.

Quiet Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 DD's is right. Glue is what does the work. The clamps take the place of screws basically. Just holding the piece while the glue dries. I use an air nailer and the clamps. Nails are alot easier to conceal with putty than a screw head. I just remove the screws then putty up the holes. You can reuse screws, but then again, nail guns are fun Quote 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercharged DCs Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 For just drawing the circle, all you need is a piece of string 1/2 the mounting diameter of the sub, and a pencil.

If you cut the holes separately, and make the hole on the top piece just slightly larger than the diameter of the sub, then you'll get a flush mount. You take away a bit of the strength of the baffle doing this, however. It's kinda detracts from the point of going double baffle. I have always cut my holes with a jigsaw, measuring using the nail/string/pencil method Mr. DD stated, however for those who must have the "right tool" for the job, a plunge router, a jasper jig and upcut bits are popular. If you go to JL's site, on the left, find your sub and there is a link to the owners manual. You will find all the dimensions you need there. Edit: Corrected shitty grammar. Well, the shitty grammar I was able to catch, anyways. Edited April 14, 2011 by srp365 Quote 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.
