blownengine Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) I would do two to be safe. You dont want to run out when you are almost done. Dont forget about the port pieces too. It doesnt look like you included them. Plus if you dont use the second piece you can return it. Better safe than sorry.

pektel Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) Here's one way to do it: EDIT: changed the pic. This layout is more efficient. It will leave you with a leftover piece around 18x60 for port material if needed. Edited May 16, 2011 by pektel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pektel Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I didn't think of port, only because the box type wasn't specified. He asked for specific cuts, and I laid them out. The cuts he listed can be cut from one sheet. Doesn't leave any room for oops cuts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pektel Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I have access to a custom kitchen cabinet line. I just have them cut my stuff on their CNC machine. My current box (11 ply birch 3/4" plywood, cut to my specifications) ran me about $60. Well worth it to me since I didn't have to rip a full sheet of plywood down. Not my most favorite task.

HotRodHam Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 reason i dint have port dimensions is cuz ima use aero ports. but the lumber shop im getting my wood from cuts it for me for an extra 5 bucks so i dont have to worry bout oops cuts. cuz if they mess up thats their fault. but idk if i should seal it at the trunk or not... cuz idk when subs start getting louder. someone said after a certain amount of power but i know for sure 2 type rs sound way louder facing back so idk... and yes ik type rs r only 600 rms each...
