new guy Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 ok so here in a few days im gonna be doing my first build im gonna have a l7 15 and first thing first is the box. this is my first time ever building anything so any tips on the actual building of the box? all i know is that i need 3/4 mdf plywood. what should i use just gorilla wood glue? and how many sheets of plywood am i gonna need? also, what is a good size box / tuning? idk what my max dimensions are i will check tomorrow but its in a trunk car. if anyone wants to make me something on torres calc that would be great. again any tips would be amazing im really new to this Quote *current* 1991 honda crx si 2 skar audio 12s pioneer 6.5s dual 400 watt amp audio technix db 1/0 wiring kit. dual head unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingleo Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Use MDF wood or Birch, stay away from plywood. Measure twice, cut once. Go over your sub specs and box calcs until you ate sure it's what you want. If you use screws, predrill your holes so the wood doesnt split on you. Better to use the gorilla glue and a nail gun. Shoot them in about every inch and a half. Silicone your joints after to make it air tight.

new guy Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) ok so i found this box it says 5.25 cubs of air space tuned to 30 hertz. i know its a prefab but would this be good? i could just go over all the inside with caulking to make sure its air tight. so would this be good? also, im gonna need some wire to do my big 3 and for my sub amp looking for 0 gauge. what is some cheap wire? and how much will i need for both my big 3 and amp?

wfw5607 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 with kicker follow their specs on the box had two comps that did 143 in an escort on 600rms with box to spec, Do use the caulking to seal the box but lining it with fiberglass is the best, knz concepts sells good cheap wire or audio savings has a lot of diffrent power wire for really good prices Quote Build in progress Alpine CDEHD-138BT Alpine SPX-17PRO 2x Alpine SWS-15d2 2x Alpine PDX-V9 2x Alpine PDX-M12 Stinger SPC5050 Stinger 1/0ga and 4ga Audioquest interconnects and Speaker wire Dynomat 10455 mega bulk pak Dynomat 1/8 and 1/4 liner All that in a Reg cab truck and it wont be a blow though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsawdy212 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 birch is easy to work with if u want to spend the money. if not make sure to predrill all the screw holes in the MDF otherwise it will split. trust me the 15 dollars more for birch is well woth it Quote 2007 caliber 2 Fi ssd 18's rd audio 3250 xs power d3100 (need 2 more) stock alt (soon to be singer 350a) 2.75:1 4th order in progress!
