Car Audio Classifieds -- Part I of this project from April 2010.

Continued from last year... since we proved the prior box worked so well even made from super low grade plywood we finally got around to making one from genuine Russian 13-ply birch plywood.

Derrick was up for some testing yesterday and was able to stay up here to work on this box for me today -- on to the pictures :

* Back wall cut -- have some weight on the port to hold the glue down for a bit as it will be permanently attached from the inside.

* High strength 3M Epoxy glue to hold it in.

* Derrick working on cutting out the rest of the pieces.

* Front baffle completed with holes cut.

* Rounded over internal braces (wave guide technology... LoL)

* Cut-Outs rounded over on the inside

* Glue is dried -- port is flushed into the inside wall of the box.

* Epoxy bead around the outside of the port as well. Derrick had the idea to fill the whole area in with resin which I think I will do later on.

Did a quick power clamp (old box)

4240 clamped watts = 152.8 dB

1300 clamped watts = 148.7 dB

So far:

3790 watts @ 152.6 dB with new box.

At the moment it won't support more power (two small SP1000 12v batteries and stock alternator) -- I may drop my 16v batteries in tomorrow.
